    You are making some good points, and to be honest, this is not something we thought of when we designed the survey. While it's probably too late for this study, I will make sure that transgender people are taken into account in future research. Thanks for the thoughtful feedback!

    I think you and your colleagues would enjoy this interview: https://news.gallup.com/businessjournal/23146/too-many-interruptions-work.aspx

    Your opinion, that interruptions from people in the same working sphere (project team), are less distracting than interruptions from outside the sphere, is definitely supported by research!

    It's definitely the question where we expect the most ambiguity, and it is the only freeform question. We thought it would be more useful to let people categorize their tasks themselves, although this can definitely be difficult with such a subtle mental state.

    Thanks for the feedback & filling out the survey. It means a lot to us!

    Hi folks, I hope this is ok to post.

    Flow (also known as 'the zone', and others) is a mental state of profound task-absorption that makes a person feel one with the activity in which they are involved - I'm sure many of you have experienced it.

    I'm on a team of people doing research on flow theory, and we focus on people employed in software development. Our goal is to help make the office a better place for employees, by understanding when and why people enter flow. We prepared a survey for some work- and flow related topics, and it would be of great help if you could take and maybe even share it.

    Completing the survey only takes 2-5 minutes of your time, and we will handle your anonymous entries with utmost care.

    Thank you!

    Yeah, I think what helps me the most when stressed or filled with anxiety is to go for a walk or talk to someone. It gets you out of your own head!

    What an interesting concept. I wonder if this will become the de facto standard in industries where working from home or outside of an typical office space becomes more and more common. I can also...

    Incredibly, this growth is largely the result of eXp Realty’s use of an online virtual world similar to Second Life. That means every employee, contractor, and the thousands of agents who work at the company show up to work—team meetings, training seminars, onboarding sessions—all inside a virtual reality campus.

    What an interesting concept. I wonder if this will become the de facto standard in industries where working from home or outside of an typical office space becomes more and more common. I can also imagine that coworking spaces used by entrepreneurs will move to such virtual reality spaces in the future.

    To add on this, maybe the poll creators could be given the option to make all votes public. This would help with preventing vote manipulation on more sensitive topics.

    This seems like a great idea. There could be an option to add a poll after the text, when submitting content. When activiting this option, the original poster could create a simple multiple choice poll with custom options.

    Is there some sort of request for this on Gitlab already?
