I have been concentrating 8-10 hours daily. When I concentrate I am so much in the zone that if someone talks with me, I get annoyed. Most of the times I don’t even know what someone said.
Is this type of concentration hyperfocus or flow?

Not flow at all. Just racing thoughts.
Flow would make you more present and active. The things you know are sublimated and you don’t have to deliberate over them, you just execute as instinctually as possible.

No, there are no thoughts. Whenever, since childhood, I concentrate I go in a zone. I think it is either hyperfocus or flow. I read that it is hyperfocus when you are engaged with stuff like video games and stuff too much. However, I am concentrating on productive things. But, then I couldn’t be flowing all the time. People have this experience sometimes, I experience this all the time.

I had this and love to have this flow again,
but I lost it when after a week of productivity,
I completed a project at 11pm and was not able to sleep till 3am in the morning.
And realized the feeling of accomplishment and positive feeling due to sz was the same,
It was a huge disappointment for me.
Still now not able to get that flow due to disappointment.
As you said its true, hyper focus is cool, I even skip food till I get the result.
Another awesome thing is sleep, when I don’t get result for an entire day, I will sleep on it and next day, mostly the answer would be found.
