Focus and Happiness

Just read an article that I really enjoyed. The article, Will Focus Make You Happier, talks about how when someone is focused on a task they tend to be happier than when they are kind of floundering. I found this article to describe my mood at work to a T. When I am focused/invested/engaged in what I'm doing I find that I am much happier than when I'm not. It's interesting, though, that I often find it very difficult to get myself engaged in a new project. It's hard to find the energy to get things started but after reading this article is seems like by not investing my energy and focus into projects I'm keeping myself from being as happy at my job. Overall, just kind of a really interesting article.
