Happiness, sadness, surprise, fear, disgust and anger. I have to admit, I have seen all these emotions on the faces of nonhuman primates, and some other mammals as well. Can you name another emotion? Or ten more? And do they break down to just this six??

What I thought of:
Jealousy. Is anger and fear and sadness.
Ecstasy. Is happiness and surprise.
Boredom. Is disgust and sadness. Or not an emotion, but rather a state of disinterest, a lack of focus or flow.
Confusion. Is not an emotion? Is a cognitive state of uncomprehending.

Maybe?

No one has to do everything but everyone has to do something.

Nice article on the choice and execution of your life's content.
Time for me to turn off this computer for a while.

7 Ways Being Unbalanced Can Make You More Productive
from an article by Zen Habits contributor Jonathan Mead
Short version:
1. Embrace imbalance.
2. Let everything else slide.
3. Isolate yourself so you can focus.
4. Stop caring about anything but what really matters for your task.
5. Triage ruthlessly.
6. Disconnect from the information superhighway.
7. Quit everything that isn't really important
