Flow Theory

   Flow is a mental condition that occurs when a person engaged in an activity becomes fully absorbed in that activity. Usually, people decide where they want to focus their attention.

Conditions for Flow to Occur There are three primary conditions that people and their activities must meet for them to experience flow. 1. An activity must have clear goals and milestones. 2.
