Tell HN: Can't turn off “grind mode”

I feel like my mind is always in "grind mode." The mode where if I'm not working on some project or startup idea, I feel stagnant and useless.

If a project I'm working on doesn't take off or I can't deliver for some reason, I'll actually get depressed and start getting desperate for the next thing to launch.

Not sure if this is the product of how I was raised or just the tech culture I'm in, but it's honestly exhausting.

How do you turn this off? How can I just be happy with my well-paying job and focus on hobbies after work instead of startup ideas?
