Absolutely agree, it took me most of my adult life to understand I was attracted to programming as a kid because of the creative flow it gives. Also why the usual day job at a bigger company in tech is not even close to fun as it is during the times I'm working on a pet project.
Anything too passive like watching films/series, or playing single player games which takes 40-80h to complete can bore the hell out of me but skill-based games are almost like crack. Same to creative efforts, making music (while trying to improve on it), photography, woodworking, they all put me into hyperfocus mode easily.
