		tibbar on March 2, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Your Thinking Rate Is Fixed Exactly, this is pretty much the definition of flow. It amplifies productivity on the task at hand, which seems to be one of the things the OP claims is impossible. On the other hand, even if the article is taking the banal position that your IQ doesn't change, this also seems false - your day to day cognitive ability does vary (even if the average level is stable).

This is not what the previous commenter said. They said flow allows you to focus on a single task.

This is not productivity amplification, it's improved time/focus/energy allocation.
