And stuff related to that. When you pay attention, focus… get so concentrated on something that you get sucked in…

What is that like? Can you describe it?

And in the opposite direction. What is it like to be distracted?

    To me, there’s concentration and there’s flow state. Concentration is more of a manual process where I intentionally ignore distracting events. It involves building a structure that can hold up to bumps and it’s hard work. Flow state is a groove where distractions melt away and only the task remains. One can turn into the other, and and depending on how your brain works they can both be fragile.
