Video games allowed me back into the mode of thinking without any sense of external requirement. It was all on me to decide how deep I went and for how long. Eventually I played until I achieved boredom after over 900 hours. (Not all at once! Over months.)
From that point of boredom I could see how much energy I had channeled into something pointless, and realized I had recovered. Then I started channeling that work into home renovations and other tangible efforts. Even coding for family projects!
But I never got the motivation back to code for profit again. I’m done with that part of my life.

And as I saw repeated patterns from customers, I started taking on process improvement projects to help prepare orgs in a more general sense for eventual modernization.
