Sounds like you are in the wrong job or the wrong company. If the day is that bad every day you need to consider moving.

Either that, or it's just mentally exhausting to be productive for a full day. It might not be that the job is bad, but rather that the amount of energy for certain kinds focus and tasks is limited.

In that case, if the desire to do side projects is great enough, I suppose the correct solution would be to try going for a somewhat shorter work week.

I think I have reached a critical point in my career where I have to choose whether I work to live or live to work. I prefer the prior, so I will be going that route. I'll be resigning on Wednesday.
