When all you can think about is getting back to coding as the 4 day no coding holiday has just killed you from the first minute.

Dedication! I love it.

Sadly it's the only thing I know, burning out at 60hr weeks 8-8 mon-fri aha

Great post! You are a lucky person. Everyone should be so fortunate to enjoy what they do and get paid for it.

That's what home projects are for :)

+1 to side project/hobby project outside of work. It's fun to have a few things going and be able to work on your own thing, if possible of course. It can maybe even overlap with other fields of interest so you're not only coding or working similar things, as that can definitely become tedious.

If you select the right side project it can also make you a better employee by improving your skills.
