Just heard one of my favorite bloggers is extending her blogging hiatus indefinitely (that’s her last post on the screen). But I'm keeping my chin up. Still trying to think up a shorthand way of responding to these randomly generated questionnaire things, but I have not really solidified the questions I want to answer as of yet. And this is the first one.
So, this quote from Csikszentmihalyi:
"As our studies have suggested, the phenomenology of enjoyment has eight major components. When people reflect on how it feels when their experience is most positive, they mention at least one, and often all, of the following. First, the experience usually occurs when we confront tasks we have a chance of completing. Second, we must be able to concentrate on what we are doing. Third and fourth, the concentration is possible because the task undertaken has clear goals and provides immediate feedback. Fifth, one acts with a deep but effortless involvement that removes from awareness the worries and frustrations of everyday life. Sixth, enjoyable experiences allow people to exercise a sense of control over their actions. Seventh, concern for the self disappears, yet paradoxically the sense of self emerges stronger after the flow experience is over. Finally, the sense of the duration of time is altered; hours pass by in minutes, and minutes can stretch out to seem like hours."
So, responding to the above, we would have yes to #1, Yes, with difficulty (2), No(3), No (4), No (5), Yes (6), No (7), No (8).
