Anyone have any thoughts about the difference between hyperfocus and “flow”?
From Wikipedia, font of all wisdom: 
“Flow is the mental state of operation in which a person in an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity. Proposed by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, the positive psychology concept has been widely referenced across a variety of fields.”

Is there a difference? Is hyperfocus sort of a catchall term for fixating on any task, positive or negative, and therefore if the task is one we “should” be doing, that’s flow, and if it’s one we “shouldn’t” be doing, that’s perseverance?
Or is flow something else entirely?
