I downvoted your original post because it was the top post. It did not answer the OP's original question. It should be one of the answers but not the top answer. You should to some extent enjoy what you are doing particularly when what you enjoy is in line with what you want to get out of life. The OP asked for tools for focus. Most of us need tools to gain perspective because we are so busy day to day that we don't see how it will fit in with a full life. We all need tools to periodically take a step back and see how everything fits together. I think you do that naturally but it was not in your post. BTW - I can tell you do not have young children. They will completely change your perspective.
