Great news, it can be fixed/changed. But you need to change your requirements.

I too build side projects and worked full time until recently. I burnt out very hard, I started struggling at work and hating building and coding, and dreaming of becoming a gardener or sailor… lol

I asked my company to drop my work hours to 32 hours across 4 days.

Less pay but I feel so much better now. Shorter work week, longer weekend, full day for side projects.

You absolutely cannot work full time and work on side projects without burning out. The money is not worth it.
