Work is 80% powerpoint and 20% coding for me. There's no problem with lack of motivation for private projects that involve coding, as long there's some practical usefulness or code is somewhay interesting (why else would private projects exist...)

What is limiting of course is time. Work soaks up too much of it.

But the biggest problem for my list of want-to-create private projects is that the more interesting ones involve some form of soldering, glueing, screwing, ... where I can simply create code without much planning ahead, whenever anything hardware is involved there's something that is stopping me from moving. Too much afraid of failing or something like that.
