You can encourage flow though. Turn off slack and outlook is a great start.

I find I normally get into flow more easily with a pressure washer and dirty floor than with code!

The other one is when I’ve “Ubered myself” to a destination, driving on autopilot.

I'll loop certain songs and just get jamming.

Same. Flow always seems easier with certain music. I make no claims as to the rigor used in this paper but since seeing it, I really do think sound is where it's at for getting momentum.
