Steven Kotler explains flow as a state where action and awareness merge, your sense of self fades, time warps, and your performance jumps. Hours feel like minutes or moments stretch out in slow motion.

Flow is a technical term, technically defined as an optimal state of consciousness, one where we feel our best and we perform our best. Action and awareness will start to merge. Your sense of self will vanish. Time will dilate, which is a fancy way of saying it passes strangely, it'll slow down. And you get that freeze frame effect from any of you who's been in a car crash. And more frequently, it speeds up. And five hours go by in, like, five minutes. And throughout all aspects of performance, both mental and physical, go through the roof.
