Antiwork

I can’t tell if I’m not interested in my field or if I’m making a poor attempt at taking back my time

I work long days with a long commute. I find that recently I’ve been less interested in maintaining focus at work all day and wanting to pepper in a personal text/email, take a long dump, watch a video, etc. I know this has probably made me less efficient than my coworkers. Sometimes I take my actions to mean that maybe I’m not as interested in my job as I used to be. But I think on some level it just bums me out that I only have 2-3 hours to myself in the evenings, so I want to take more breaks during the day so I can have energy to do the things I want after work. I felt burned out at my last company and I don’t want the same thing to happen again. Maybe these breaks are an over-correction. Anyone else in a similar situation experience this?
