Lose yourself in your work.

flow, the notion developed by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (pronounced "me-high chick-sent-me-high"—perhaps the most fun name to say, ever). This Hungarian-American psychologist holds that there is a very satisfying state of mind that occurs when one is totally absorbed by an action. ... One might experience flow while painting a complex landscape or painting the front porch...

Its commonness is why we have so many phrases for this pleasant state of existence: being in the zone, losing ourselves in our work, being on the ball, in the groove.
