How and who can enter the “flow state” or being “in the zone”? /u/ballbeamboy2 CSCQ protests reddit

“Flow” or being “in the zone.” It’s a mental state where you are fully immersed, energized, and focused on an activity. Time seems to pass quickly because you’re deeply engaged and enjoying the process.

The concept of flow was introduced by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, who described it as the optimal experience where challenges align perfectly with your skills. This state often occurs when:

• The task is challenging but manageable.
• You have clear goals or objectives.
• Immediate feedback is available (you can see or sense your progress).
• You are fully focused and free from distractions.

I guess senior dev can enter this zone easily when there are no meeting or people send them slack message non-stop
