That's normal. If you're doing the same old thing everyday, you're bound to get tired of it eventually. Sadly, it's our job. And a job is rarely meant to be enjoyable, it's often just something that we need to do to be able to pay the bills and buy the things that we want. Even in my current job, which is the best job I've ever had, there are days when I just don't have the drive.
What works for me is having purpose. Knowing how to use a hammer is not going to be fulfilling. The fulfillment comes from what you build using the hammer. Like the hammer, coding at its very essence is just a tool, it's not the end by itself. I find purpose from the things that my code enable, and the impact the software I helped build brings to people.
I also have hobbies outside work. I swim, I create content, I maintain a newsletter, I travel. My day job pays for all my hobbies. My hobbies help me refresh for my day job.
