It's hard after a full day's of work to get back home and study/learn/practice a new skill, it's just tiresome, at least for me it is.
I work as a Linux Inftrastructure Engineer therefore I work on support not development/programming, and I have days that are tiresome, too many tickets, too many meeting and so on.
But, if I force myself to study at home for 40 minutes after a full busy work day, then it will be easier for me to study for two hours straight on another day or during the weekends.
I feel you man, I know it's tough, sometimes I don't have the drive either...but, pushing it when we don't feel the need to, it will make it easier later on.
There was that quote, I don't know where the hell I heard it first , or read it first, either it was on a Joe Rogan's podcast, or some article on the web, regardless, the quote goest something liek this (if I remember it well)
"It's always better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardner in a war."
"Sweat more in times of peace so you can bleed less in times of war"
It's hard to live by these two statements...yet...we must push ourselves in order to have a nice cozy life after that.
I progressed so much in the past 10 years that I finally got to a spot where I can finally say that life it's getting easier now, yet, i need to make sure that I don't procastinate, otherwise I risk to be irrelevant to the job market and lose my job, as much as I strruggle to remember things, i need to practice over and over again, so that I don't get pushed aside by someone else and lose my job.
Regardless, the bottom line is that i know it's hard and it's hard for me, but in time it gets easier and I am sure that in another 10 years I'll thank myself for pushing it now even though I don't necessarly have the drive.
Anyway, good luck to you brother and stay strong, you got this, only you can "break" or "make" yourself.
Stay strong , it's fine to have days when we feel down, it's part of human nature
