Whatever you do, you are spending your time. You will never get it back. No amount of anything will give you one more chance to live your life again.
This is why doing anything you hate is stupid, and no matter how you force yourself, through discipline or any other crappy tactic, you just waste your life.
Instead! You can analyze what is interesting to you and what your meaningful life would look like. And you can pursue that.
But! Be cautious. To get the energy required for your existence, you need to create at least a comparable amount of value. Just having fun consuming resources may not work.
"But that's the problem! This is why I work the job I hate, to create value for my existence." You can create value doing other things, too. And you can do it by an activity that is interesting to you. Value can be created in any area with a variety of activities.
Ultimately! You can ask yourself: "Is this what interests me? Is it what I love doing? Does it make me better? Will I be happy I lived this life?"
