Buried in the article is a nugget that I've actually used for myself on multiple projects...a basic algorithm for how to induce flow in your life.
First you need to choose one goal. Flow takes all your mental energy, deployed deliberately in one direction.
Second, that goal needs to be meaningful to you – you can’t flow into a goal that you don’t care about.
Third, it helps if what you are doing is at the edge of your abilities
I've done this many times in order to feed somewhat anti-social behavior when I don't feel like engaging with people who I'm forced to be around and have to kill time.
