how to get in the zone
Flow is complete absorption in an activity where challenge and skill are closely matched. It requires clear goals, immediate feedback and no interruption — which is why it is nearly impossible in an environment designed to interrupt you.
What to do about it
Remove the interruptions before you try to concentrate harder. Attention is a condition, not an effort.
