Are you one of the "theorist" NT personality types? It's very common for such
intuitive thinkers to get into these kind of traps. Day-to-day task management
and productivity (especially detail work) become significant stressors. The
best answer I've found is rebalancing in favor of thinking-as-job and doing
more consulting, planning, teaching, and less making or doing. Then the making
or doing can develop on its own in e.g. hobby time.

It's just another mental model or lens through which to view the human system,
but I find it useful. Last I checked the majority of HN were intuitive theory-
types. Good luck.

I suspect the issue isn't that rare, but clinical explanations are worth
considering. Look at a wider range of that menu too. What used to be known as
Asperger's syndrome (now "high-functioning autism spectrum disorder" or
something like that) can have these sorts of issues as a facet, and is also of
particular interest to our demographic.

But I think you would also do well to consider what you do have easy access to
motivation for and if there is a mismatch between your work and your values
about how you want to live.

Hope you'll find satisfying answers.
