I find it amazing that people can program full time and then want to go home and program even more. I enjoy programming too, but I want some variety in my life, and perhaps even get out of my chair from time to time. If you're not motivated to work constantly at it, join the club. There are lots of us out here. Side note: I actually started to find my day job tedious, too, and then got stuck in bed bored with COVID for a week. After that boredom, I actually started to miss it again. A long digital detox couldn't hurt -- allowing yourself to feel actually bored for an extended period of time, without any screens.
