I'm born in the 80's and have kids. I don't recognise at all. I play no more than three games at the same time. When I finish one, I pick up another one in my huge backlog. I always finish them. It's a passion.

Yup, my solution too. Stick with a game and beat it.

I also used to idle, watch videos, doomscroll, launch and quit the same three games. I've realized that if gaming is a hobby of mine, I have to be willing to put in effort to engage with it. So I make the effort, nearly every day. Sometimes it's hard at first, but once I am in the swing of things I am much happier for it.

I have probably completed more games in the past few years than my entire childhood at this point and I am having a great time.
