How to use it

Don't chase flow. Set it up: a challenge just above your skill, one clear goal per block, instant feedback (a mirror, a video, a timer), and the phone away. Flow and performance go together, but nobody has shown which causes which.

How sure we are

S Evidence: strong. Large trials or many studies, pointing the same way.

E Evidence: built from practice. What works for coaches and practitioners. Labelled that way.
