What do you do to prevent burnout and resentment for your job?

I installed this yesterday. I like it in theory, but I think there's something wrong with its timer - it seems like ten minutes will go by and EyeLeo will claim that only two have passed. I don't think my sense of time passing is *that* messed up.
