I write programs at work. I don't do a lot of coding at home. I have a "Cybersecurity Esq" type job, which involves coding about 75% of the time, and the other 25% of the time is boring work. When I don't get enough coding time, I usually find myself working on projects at home. If I'm not coding, I work on fixing up some vintage computers, or soldering together small projects (that I can then code later). I don't think "hmm I haven't done enough coding this week" I just do what I want, and generally if I do a lot of coding at work, I'm not so interested in coding at home. If you're spending your coding energy at work and not at home, is that a problem for you? Get a hobby, it doesn't have to be coding. One thing I like to do is practice DJing (I suck at it, but I try), or fix up old game consoles. I think it goes back to why you got into programming in the first place - was it instant gratification, or did you think you could make things work in new ways, infinite possibilities, optimizations, or what? For me, I like the problem solving aspect of it, and it turns out I can get my 'problem solving' fix from repairing broken electronics as well.
