Flow State

Definitions

1. A state of deep concentration in which someone is fully immersed in a task and progress feels smooth and absorbing. In developer culture flow state is treasured because interruption-heavy work makes it difficult to reach and easy to lose.

   In plain English: A state of deep focused immersion in a task.

   Example: "He had finally hit flow state when the calendar reminder for another status sync shattered the whole afternoon into fragments again."
