Easy Difficult Moderate Another key aspect to achieve ow is nding the right challenge. Which sudoku was hard enough to get you engaged, but not too hard that it made you want to give up? If challenges are too low, one gets back to ow by increasing them. As Csikszentmihalyi says "If challenges are too great, one can return to the ow state by learning new skills." In order to achieve ow, you need to nd the challenge which bests suits you. If it is too easy, increase the challenge. If it is too hard, you need to learn the necessary skills to overcome the challenge. Do not just give up, instead practice and keep going ahead with a goal set in mind.
