"Archimedes was contemplating a mathematical diagram when the city was captured. A Roman soldier commanded him to come and
meet General Marcellus but he declined, saying that he had to finish
working on the problem. The soldier was enraged by this, and killed
Archimedes with his sword."- Wikipedia
Third element of flow is the lack of sense of self-consciousness.
The quote above is the ultimate example of losing yourself in the flow. Archimedes was rumored to have been working on an idea when soldiers entered his place. They tried to get his attention but he ignored them He was most likely not even aware of them It lead to his death.
Typical everyday example would be when you were working on a task and people walk into the room, you simply do not notice them, and are startled by being touched on the shoulder. At that moment you have lost the sense of self-consciousness.
Today's question is:
"Have you ever been startled while doing something?(What were you working on?)"
