When you're at work, do you ever find yourself fantasizing and being hyper motivated about being home to continue THAT thing you're really excited about or should be doing. But then once you get home all motivation evaporates and you end up doing nothing and feeling guilty about it?

Sometimes I get obsessed with something at work, an issue or something that I can't get to work and sometimes I continue what I was doing when I get home, depending on how tired and frustrated I am.

I work in IT.

This doesnt exactly translate to your experience bc I am a student but last semester I took two upper level math courses and because of how much homework I was doing in those classes and how interesting I found the subject to be, I would end up seeing and thinking about that math until I fell asleep those nights. I dreamed about fucking math 😭. I would go to my girlfriends house an hour after finishing my homework and in the middle of hanging out I would have to stop and go finish a problem I was trying to solve before but couldn't because I just had a new idea

I still do this too, but I try really hard to resist the urge, because it rarely leads anywhere good
