I am having trouble relating. As an engineering manager, not jumping in and doing what the team should do is a major challenge for me. It turns out that as a manager I've greatly increased team productivity, been able to stop them working every other weekend as a result, and the team skills and happiness are visibly improving. But I just have a constant temptation to code instead of work on all that because I love it to the point where it is almost compulsive.

To satisfy that I get up early 3 days a week to work on side projects to satisfy that desire.
