"Flow neatly separates the two forms of effort:
Concentration on the task and the deliberate control of attention.
Riding a motorcycle at 150 miles an hour and playing a competitive game of chess are certainly very effortful.
In a state of flow, however, maintaining focused attention on these absorbing activities requires no exertion of self-control, thereby freeing resources to be directed to the task at hand."
