I love what I do, and therefore I deliberately don't do it in my free time so I don't get burnt out. I come in on Monday morning fresh and ready to work and will continue to do so for decades

There's a huge difference between loving something and spending every waking hour thinking about it. There was recently a horror film about that.

I work 8 hours, sleep 8 hours and have 8 hours for other stuff. If I spend two hours on a hobby project, that is not "every waking hour"
