In the Zone....Both sides now.....

[Mark Kohut]

Non-psychologists more commonly use the term "fugue state" to refer to the state of mind attained by a gifted musician or athlete where the person attains a high degree of focus and attention to their art or actions. This is also a dissociation from one's surroundings, to concentrate on the work at hand. Other names for the same basic concept include 
	* “the mental state called flow,” often seen in the context of programming, and
	* “being in the zone.”
