Being in the "zone" has nothing to do with the Bermuda triangle or the one where twilight is eternal (see the classic TV series). Instead, it has to do with a state of mind of such focus and concentration that the rest of the world simply seems to disappear, leaving you with nothing but the task at hand. You can get in the "zone" while working, training, listening to music, or even playing games. The apps below are really good at taking you there and keeping you inside for as long as you like.
ZenZone App
When getting into the Zone for the Zone itself, there's nothing that can help you get there faster than an app designed to do this very thing. "ZenZone" is an app that uses Guided Mindfulness, brainwaves, and attention training to get you into a state of mind where you can clearly focus on the task at hand, on the issues you need to solve, without letting anything distract you.
The app, developed by NeuroSky, will teach its users how to get into this powerful state of mind in their everyday lives, allowing them to be more focused and more efficient day after day.

Gaming in the Zone
There are many games that captivate you in a way never seen before. But none of them are as good at it as online pokies. These games invented over a century ago, have evolved from simple mechanical devices into today's sophisticated instruments of entertainment. More people are having
mobile pokies fun today than ever before. And the games themselves are built to take you away, immerse you into a world of color, sound, and undisturbed online entertainment. Playing them will get you to the Zone faster than any other game, and keep you there for longer - not focused on any one task, but in a relaxed state of mind.
Writing in the Zone
Writing on a computer can be a nerve-racking experience for some. Simply staring at the clean slate in front of you can be overwhelming - especially when you know you have to fill it with meaningful content. This is where Flowstate, an app available for OS X and iOS, comes in handy: it makes you want to write.
Flowstate is a simple, distraction-free writing app with a twist. First, you'll need to select a font, and a timeframe, between 5 and 180 minutes. Then you start to fill that clean slate with words. But after a while, you become distracted by anything around you - and this is where the "twist" comes in. If you stop writing, the words you typed start to fade away. After five seconds of inactivity, all your work is deleted.
Flowstate is an app that will get your brain into a "flow state" - a highly focused mental state, where your attention is only on a single task. While it's not ideal for research-based writing, where you have to quickly shift between your sources and the article you are working on, it is the perfect tool for creative writers to get into the Zone and fill page after page with meaningful content.
