Balancing Challenge and Skill
Conceptually, getting into flow requires Balancing Challenge and Skill. It’s the meta-meta-skill of creating the conditions of flow.
It’s the most important condition because it’s the direct result of the Four Factors of Flow. They are the Elements (or Levers) that dictate whether or not you’re having a quality experience.
The most notable factor we can control here is Attention. Distractions, which are everywhere in modern society, are the bane of flow.
