I have adhd, and flow comes naturally for somethings but it's rare. Usually I will get it in intellectual or creative endeavors.

It is great when I am learning a new bit of mathematics, or when I am programming. But the absolute worst thing about it is that the smallest piece of distraction will completely derail me. Medication helps a lot in this aspect, but it's unavailable where I live right now.

I used to meditate to help but for some reason I stopped.

One of the best parts about "flow" is recognizing when it's happening and then being able to keep it going.

Funny, I am ADD as well, and was medicated most of my life. I chose to get off medication because I didn't like the way it made me feel. Too intense at times. Daily meditation is what keeps me on track and focused. That and lots of coffee (stimulants obviously help).

I have a hard time without medication. I gotta get back into the habit of meditation again as it did help a lot.
