Re:Ask HN: How to get back hacker's mentality and joy of coding by yugene on Monday April 26, 2021 @10:16AM (#26942732)
In my case the only thing worked out fine was: stop forcing yourself to do the things you don't want being doing. Or better rephrased as: do only the things you enjoy doing.

This approach required a lot of courage, because I had to change a lot in my life. At some point I had to even accept that I might end up never coding again. But that proved wrong after several months of being mostly away from computer, reading books, walking, drawing, making yoga, doing all the enjoyable things that came to my mind. In my case F. Perls with his approach to living in here and now had helped me to switch to the new style of life, directed by true inner desires.
