It's an interesting thing to consider. They seem both similar but very different at the same time. "Flow" to me feels like allowing the mind off its leash, but having it be completely focused on one task rather than its normal state of unfocused chaos. Whereas "mindfulness" feels more like allowing the mind to rest and become still. In the former time slips by so quickly, and the latter time can seem to stand still, but with both time becomes meaningless. Maybe what both have in common is this disconnection from time.
