In this book, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, discusses how experiences can either preserve or drain energy from those within an experience. I first became interested in this book to apply it to my experience in software interface design. Though I find the concepts are highly applicable to workplace management as well as to programming interface design.
I characterize Flow as the preservation of momentum and expectation. When experiences meet expectations and reduce resistance by being predicable and efficient. Experiences include users of software, programmers using a language or library, or employees within a team. When people are within an experience they build momentum as their expectations are met with success. Conversely, the loose momentum when expectations are met with failure or resetting of state.
