Flow promotes focus and deep engagement from "summary" of Flow (Edição revista e atualizada) by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

One of the key features of the flow experience is that it promotes a state of intense focus and deep engagement. When individuals are in a state of flow, they are completely absorbed in the task at hand, to the point where everything else fades into the background. This intense focus allows individuals to fully immerse themselves in the activity, losing track of time and even their sense of self in the process. Flow is characterized by a high level of concentration and attention, as individuals are able to channel all of their mental energy towards the task they are performing. This intense focus not only enhances performance, but also creates a sense of enjoyment and satisfaction in the individual. In a state of flow, individuals are able to push themselves to the limits of their abilities, leading to a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment. The deep engagement that comes with flow is a result of the perfect balance between the difficulty of the task and the individual's skill level. When the challenge level is just right - not too easy to be boring, but not too difficult to be overwhelming - individuals are able to enter a state of flow, where they are fully engaged and motivated to continue with the task. This sense of challenge and achievement is crucial for maintaining focus and deep engagement in the activity. In addition to promoting focus and deep engagement, flow also has a number of other positive effects on individuals. For example, flow has been shown to increase creativity, enhance performance, and improve overall well-being. By entering a state of flow on a regular basis, individuals can experience a heightened sense of happiness and fulfillment in their lives.
