I was sorting pieces for a big landscape puzzle, same as every night. Then the whole corner section was done when I looked back, but I have no memory of placing them. Finished it right after, felt like a win but also super weird.

Ever get so in the zone you bypass your own memory? My flow state usually ends with me putting the milk in the cupboard.

Putting milk in the cupboard is just your brain's way of declaring a COLD war on breakfast.

Totally! Flow state is just your brain on autopilot. It gets so focused on the pattern that you skip the part where you remember doing the work.

That "time slip moment" is JUST flow state, not magic.
