Flow requires focused attention from "summary" of Finding Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

To achieve a state of flow, one must direct their attention to the task at hand with complete focus and concentration. This focused attention is essential for entering into a state of optimal experience, where skills and challenges are perfectly matched. Without this concentrated focus, it is nearly impossible to experience flow in any activity. When attention is scattered or divided, it becomes difficult to fully engage with the present moment. Distractions pull us away from the task at hand, preventing us from immersing ourselves in the activity. In order to experience flow, one must be fully present and engaged in what they are doing, devoting their entire attention to the task. Focused attention allows for a deep level of involvement in the activity, creating a sense of control and mastery over the task. By concentrating on the present moment and immersing oneself in the activity, individuals can access their full potential and experience a state of flow. This intense focus enables individuals to perform at their best and feel a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. In contrast, when attention is divided or unfocused, individuals may feel disconnected from the task and struggle to achieve a state of flow. Without the ability to direct their attention fully towards the activity, individuals may find themselves feeling bored, anxious, or overwhelmed. In order to fully engage with the task and experience flow, it is essential to maintain a high level of focused attention. By embracing focused attention and immersing oneself in the present moment, individuals can unlock their potential for optimal experience. This state of flow can only be achieved through complete focus and concentration on the task at hand. Without this focused attention, it is impossible to reach a state of flow and fully engage with the activity.
