Another Way to Look at Flow's Characteristics

"...1. Completely involved in what you are doing - focused, concentrated  
     2. Sense of ecstasy - being outside everyday reality
     3. Greater in clarity - knowing what needs to be done, and how well we are doing
     4. Knowing the activity is doable - that our skills are adequate to the task
     5. A sense of serenity - no worries about oneself, and a feeling of growing beyond the boundaries the ego
     6. Timelessness - thoroughly focused on the present, hours seem to pass by in minutes
     7. Intrinsic motivation - whatever produces the flow generates its own reward..."

A check list to experience Flow at work

"...- find a task we love, as dread will prevent us from being engaged
     - make the task worth while, as it adds to motivation
     - making challenging, but not too much or we will be stressed
     - find time when we have energy and can concentrate
     - de-clutter and remove distractions
     - start small but tried to focus for as long as we can
     - keep practising, learn what works and notice the experience and the difference..."
