The Components Of Flow

Experiencing flow seems rather obvious now, when you know what it is. Roughly it can be divided into ten subcategories which, when combined, enable us to perform with the best possible efficiency rate, without wasting time or energy:

• Clearly understanding what we want to achieve.
• Having the ability to concentrate for a long period of time.
• Losing the feeling of consciousness of ourselves.
• Realising that time passes faster than usual.
• Receiving immediate and direct feedback.
• Experiencing balance between the challenge and our skill levels.
• Being in control of the situation.
