I think you've made an important step in identifying something you are doing which you feel is unhealthy. It might be worth investigating this through the lens of mindfulness and learn more about yourself here.
You are most likely turning everything into work because your mind is seeking comfort there. You also might already have good ideas about having fun. Hell, you have good ideas for what fun means _to you_ because you know yourself so well. In this case, getting new ideas about fun might not be the solution here.
Think more about whats blocking you from having fun in ways you already know about. What opportunities are quite accessible to you, and rationally they seem like great ideas but you can't "go there" for whatever reason. Pay attention to moments when you retreat back into your work. What are you avoiding? Or what are moving towards?
I think it's great you recognized "a bug" in some sense and want to fix it. Sometimes we just need to run our lives with a "debug build" for a while. Add some overhead to start paying attention to yourself. If you notice something there, make small changes to tease that bug out of your life.
I think if did this for a few months you would find yourself having more fun. In ways you already know ho to have fun and unwind. And you would be more energized at work.
- kubanczyk 4y ago> make small changes to tease that bug out of your life Highlighting what always worked for me. When feeling stuck, do not overanalyze statically, use your intuition to make changes, any changes, and observe the dynamics from within. Anecdata, YMMV.
