I agree that flow often occurs when we modify tasks, to create individual meaning in the work. I actually probably experience flow as described more in the workplace than anywhere else, and it’s usually when I feel particularly purposeful in the task that I’m doing. For example, if I’m responsible for a project, I’ll find more flow working on that than I will when I’m completing work for another team member.

I definitely think space can augment the possibility for flow, beyond the obvious example of going somewhere quiet for focused work to avoid distractions. If I’m doing creative thinking, it helps a lot to change my work environment – sitting right next to the window so there’s plenty of daylight, or standing up at a high table and moving around.
