I might have something that might help. (I'm really not sure, but no harm in mentioning it.)

I'm kind of in the same boat. I don't really like the open-source software I'm paid to develop. Some combination of that, my ADD, and maybe burnout, make it really hard to plug away at developing that software. I have no doubt the ennui seriously dings my productivity.

Then a few weekends ago, I started working with some open-source software that's adjacent to my day job. I get to work at my own pace, focus on the parts that interest me, etc. I'm really enjoying myself.

I see two possible benefits to this weekend activity:

(1) It's helping me to enjoy programming again.

(2) If I'm really lucky, the knowledge and/or software I'm developing will become relevant to my day job. I think that would make my day job a lot more fun.
