I think the best for me is to be heads-down working on something with good people on a product that people love, without a lot of bullshit in our way. I'm pretty fine with working long hours as long as there are longer breaks to reset in there (i.e., a real vacation).
Short-term things that seem to help are in the physical realm: playing soccer, going skiing, or doing some runs. Endorphins are a thing.
It's been a couple years since I've been happy, though, so don't take my word for it.
What are the biggest factors in your happiness, professional or semi-professional (i.e. working sustainable hours)? Have these changed much in your career? Has there been anything you've been very right or very wrong about affecting your happiness?
