DAE feel like theyre just eternally burnt out?

I dont mean depression or anxiety (this feels different), I mean feeling like you never really recharge, like youve never gotten time off ever. Which I think is partly due to a tendency to put literally 100% into something until you feel fried, move on to the next thing rinse repeat. Even "down time" doesnt really feel like down time because I am stuck between either boredom, working on yet another thing or thinking about things in general.

Find a hobby, an actually hobby and something else yo.occupy your time.

Gardening, where you can't force time, you have to plant something and wait, but not forget which is key

Anything that you like, but has to be a hobby

I got into yoga. It's physically exhausting and I need to focus on not falling over so my mind is "busy", but not on a mental treadmill.

Whenever I've gotten a fun hobby I just think about it all the time and it becomes so hard to focus on my job and even harder to force myself to do the same boring shit every day. Can't wait to get home too finally do something fun and interesting with my life.
