Consider your brain to be at its peak and functioning optimally.

Thoughts come quickly to mind, and ideas flow effortlessly.

You are focused on a task and have completely forgotten everything else.

Most importantly, the experience provides enjoyment and a sense of purpose.

Athletes and musicians are often in this state known as flow.

It frequently appears in computer games, writing, painting, teaching, and learning.

A flow state is more than simply losing track of time and becoming absorbed in this moment.

Instead, flow manifests itself in anything involving doing, effort, and action; anything where you can be 'useful in the moment.'

The experience is most common when working alone but can also occur when people collaborate.

When did you last experience flow?
