Yes bro I think too. And I do a lot of overthinking; I'm angry at myself for having such 'problems' but yeah, sometimes I feel like shit and depressed. Really tho.

I have a similar situation like you. I have 2 part time jobs (one is a Judo/BJJ instructor , twice a week) only because I like it, I don't need either of them, but it puts my life in order.
My morning job is 11 to 3 just so that I have health insuramce and because I really like working here.

The problem is between 8-11 in the morning. My fiancee is a teacher so she has to be up at her job at 8 so we wake up at around 7:30
Here's my solution:

I bought a house last year that was semi-complete. Every morning I'd wake up and work on the house.
Paint, put laminate flooring, electrical stuff, some stucco work, insulation on the roof, gardening (installed the automatic watering system myself and planted the lawn, all done manually) .
I probably saved more than 20.000 eur doing all the work myself. Now, I want to put stone covering on my garden walls and my fireplace. I'll get a craftsman to do the fireplace but the garden I'll do it myself.
In April I'm completing a transaction and getting a 2nd property to rent very close to where I live. It's in a similar condition. It hasn't got windows, needs stucco/painting, also needs a kitchen and some work on the roof. Except for the kitchen which will be installed by a carpenter, some little electical work, windows and doors, and the electrical appliances, the rest I'll do myself.

Now that it's the winter I don't really do it, but in 1-2 months when the weather will be better I'll pick it up again for the new house.

My point:
You already have your hobbies and education sorted. Find something that makes money and it's challenging. It's a great motive to wake up in the morning.

When the house was a mess I was super motivated to wake up every morning. Now that it's 98% complete I don't really care........ HOWEVER, once I have the contracts for the new house completed and the weather will be good, I know I'll wake up every morning all chuffed.

I had the same problem before and a co-working space was the solution for me.

My problem is that I don't like waking up at 8 am for example and then working on the laptop after having breakfast immediately. My mind doesn't feel so sharp and motivated early in the morning in the home.

What I have been doing and working so well so far is having breakfast and then heading to the co-working space from 10 to 3 or something like that after that I go to the GYM and then back to home and continue working if needed for some more hours.

That's how I keep myself busy and do all the required work I have to.
