Three-Flow State Precursors
Research identified 3 necessary conditions for entering a flow state:
1. Challenge-skill balance
This is a balance between your skills and the challenge of the task. The task should stretch you slightly beyond your current skills, but not so much that you get discouraged and want to quit.
2. Clear Proximal Goals
Having a clear idea of what needs to be done facilitates a flow state. You are able to seamlessly string action after action together as they become evident to you.
3. Immediate Feedback
Receiving feedback on work as you go allows you to self-correct as you go—keeping you engaged on the task
