Reducing cognitive load through temporal landmarks and hinges increases access to flow state because flow can only occur when a person is fully focused and present, and flow triggers work by either lowering cognitive load or increasing dopamine and norepinephrine to funnel attention into the present moment.

“flow state can only occur when we're fully focused and present to the moment. The reason flow triggers work and drive us into that state of deep immersion is because they either do one of two things, lower cognitive load or increase dopamine and norepinephrine, which funnel attention into the present moment.”
