I don't. Life is short. You must choose what you spend your time and energy on. Only you can decide what is worth pursuing with the resources you have.

In contrast to your last sentence, I believe that if you are not using your time off for recovering, then you cannot work with a good capacity.

If you find yourself unable to motivate yourself for coding in your time off, you are possibly not recovering enough as it is, so trying to get better in your time off vs. in your paid time is not necessarily a healthy thing.

You can arrive at burnout by pursuing that path long enough.
