Reply to comment by jamminjalepeno in ‘Flow’, comparable to the Chinese concept of Wu Wei, dissolves our sense of self and transforms our experience of time.

"challenging" is the more accurate word here.

You need a task that is challenging without being beyond your skills and comprehension.

Complexity is not required to enter flow but a certain level of challenge is.
