Anyone love singleplayer games more than anything but find themselves mindlessly playing MP games instead of finishing their backlog or current single player games?

Ive had a lot of time to game recently, and one thing that has been bothering me is that, now that i finally have all this time to play and get immersed into these single player games ive been wanting to play for a while now, namely Death Stranding 2, Crimson Desert, many indie games and the like, I find myself just mindlessly playing overwatch or CS2, instead of making progress on those single player games, even though ive been looking forward to it and really want to play them.

It just bothers me because i feel as if im just wasting time vs making progress in those SP games. I am the type though, that only plays those games when I really feel like it because I want to get every ounce of enjoyment and immersion out of them, instead of slogging through them for the sake of it. It took me 6 months to beat Witcher 3, and about the same for RDR2, I really take my time with these types of games, but I have to be in that specific mood and have the mental bandwidth for it.

I cant say I regret the way I play SP games, but as I have less and less time now, that method feels less efficient compared to just playing them all the way through at once. Am I overthinking it?
