I've had a hard time as well, but I think the reason is different.
Software work feels very similar to the games I enjoy and I do that 6-10 hours a day. Games effectively trained me to be able to understand and build complex systems, which is great, but now they're just games.
I prefer hobbies that get me away from a computer. It's a pretty limiting constraint -- computers are super useful.
