A big complication is that often the more enjoyable thing is "less efficient". I've become pretty militant about doing the "less efficient" thing if it's much more enjoyable. When I lived in SOMA I used to walk nearly 30 extra mins to work each day, to walk along the water.
(Round trip, not one way! I don't think I would have made that trade.)
