Anybody got bored of development?

When I discovered programming, I really liked it. The ability to build something or to solve problems yay... However, after a while I got a job where I was doing bare minimum - there was almost no work, instead of proper development I did css,html and tiny javascript fixes.
That's when it went downhill...
I didn't have any external push to learn anymore, to do anything creative or fun.
When I got laid off it became really difficult to keep up with new updates in technology.
Because as an ADHD person it is extremely difficult to follow a long course and stay focused, especially without the external push..
Now I feel like I am so behind and honestly not sure if I feel motivated enough to pick it up again... anyone in the same boat?
