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?

Same, and I'm trying to fight against it. I've noticed that when coming home I am not just procrastinating, but actually exhausted. Idk if it's due to concentrating all day, or something with me, but I do know that I am tired.

I've started to actually embrace it, and for the time until I get dinner, I just rest. Might sleep even. There's no point in fighting, as I aren't in the mental space to do things. Then after dinner I'm back to do stuff, maybe even later in the night as I am more rested from my nap.

Although another take on it is that things are lot more enticed to do things when you can't/don't have them.

I am not a doctor, nor claim what I do is healthy, but that's just my experience. If anyone got tips I'm listening

I often do that too. Sometimes I literally lay on the floor. I'm becoming more and more aware of my limited capacity and I'm trying to figure out better ways to regulate it so I don't feel entirely zapped all the time.
