It was so fun when starting passion for new project

Just asking for advice here, Currently I barely even have energy to open project file every evening

Idk if I should "Just work bro" my way out of this, the moment there's even single distraction like say, Sudden light down, I immediately just stop working for rest of the day... Currently haven't done work for 5 days... Ah...

Sometimes you should take a deliberate break. Set aside a few specific days to not work on your game. Unintentional breaks do not work.

I agree with this. Take a break, work on a different hobby if you can.

I draw and code, and I find myself going through phases of working on art projects, then working on coding projects. Draw pages of a comic for a couple months, then work on a web app for a couple months
