Use the Skill: Create Conditions for Deep Focus and Flow

Flow is a state of deep absorption in an activity, when attention becomes highly focused and action feels unusually smooth. Think of it as the difference between repeatedly restarting a bicycle and riding steadily once momentum builds. This chapter introduces conditions that can encourage flow—clear goals, prompt feedback, and a suitable challenge—and shows how recovery supports repeatable performance rather than nonstop effort.
