Life Well Lived: How do you stay happy and engaged while working?

As part of BlogHer's "Life Well Lived" blogger panel, I was asked to answer the following question:


How do you stay happy and engaged while working?

My answer:
Most of my work involves writing, so it can be very easy to get distracted by facebook or web surfing. I set a timer for 15-20 minutes or give myself a page goal for working uninterrupted. I then take a short break for fun before getting back to work again.
