== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> ==
* '''Flow State''' — A mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment.
* '''Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi''' — The psychologist who pioneered the study of flow and wrote the definitive book on the subject.
* '''The Flow Channel''' — The "Sweet Spot" on a graph between "Boredom" (Challenge too low) and "Anxiety" (Challenge too high).
* '''Autotelic Experience''' — An activity that is "Rewarding in itself," where you do it for the joy of it, not for a trophy or money.
* '''Transient Hypofrontality''' — The neurological state where the "Prefrontal Cortex" (the self-critic and planner) "Shuts down," allowing the rest of the brain to work faster.
* '''Clear Goals''' — One of the three requirements for flow: you must know exactly what you are trying to achieve.
* '''Immediate Feedback''' — One of the three requirements for flow: you must know immediately how well you are doing (like in a video game).
* '''Sense of Control''' — The feeling that you have the power to succeed if you try your best.
* '''Loss of Self-Consciousness''' — When the "Inner Voice" that says "Am I doing this right?" or "What do people think of me?" goes silent.
* '''Time Distortion''' — The feeling that hours have passed in minutes (or sometimes that seconds feel like hours).
