Flow State: A Gateway to Engagement, Performance, and Productivity

Colloquially referred to as “being in the zone,” flow state is the mental state of being fully immersed in an activity, where everything else beyond the immediate task seems to disappear. It is often associated with situations involving individuals playing sports, gaming, or participating in creative activities such as art or music. But professional situations such as designing, coding, researching, conducting surgery, or solving complex business problems can also help achieve a flow state.
