Words to describe the absorbing energy which causes one to fail to notice the passage of large amounts of time. 1

Time flies when you have so much fun, so you lose track? How do I know if something has caused me to lose track of time. I am still searching for a word. Here is a word that it can be used similarly to something

like: It is a very time-consuming activity.

However, I don’t want the word to imply an activity necessitates a large amount of time. Rather, it should imply that the activity is absorbing enough that one spends a large amount of time doing it, without noticing if it’s been a long time. I feel when I find the word that I need to answer just on the tip of my tongue. So how do I find the right word? I’m sorry if some of my examples made little sense. All my questions are answered

in 1 hour. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Is the question “All in one?

The activity allows one to enter flow.. “the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity” (link and quote from Wikipedia).

I am a woman, and I only have a few seconds to try to have a period if she doesn’t care about a person’s nutrition during her whole life, besides urinating, or waking up from numbness. What seems to me to be the reality is that I have not fully eaten and urinated or made other basic needs for her, and out of nowhere by, everything. I am not feeling any pressure, either.

I have observed a certain flow in a game I’ve run but not necessarily given a different flow in an experience.
