I'll say something that sounds really unhelpful until one day it makes sense. You don't really choose the process, the process chooses you. You can't make yourself 'enjoy the process' for something that doesn't resonate, because it will always feel a chore. So the one and only trick is to really pay attention to the thing you keep going back to, and in a way accept that this is a path.

Some people might say "But I only enjoy video games!" and if that's the case, I don't really know what to say to that. All the people I know who have found great alignment with a path of progress are ones where the effort tickles an itch they would have regardless, so might as well scratch that itch.

And there are still goals, that doesn't change.

For people who say things like, “I only enjoy video games,” my usual response is to ask them to think about what aspects of video games they like. Strategy, teamwork, grinding, solving puzzles, exploring, etc? And there may be another why deeper than that. The “why” can often translate to other domains where it can be applied to projects/work.

I probably don't understand everything you wrote. However, I think I don't agree with you. If I just did what I enjoyed, I would quickly fall into bad habits, which would later lead to even greater depression.

I think you’re saying "But I only enjoy video games!". You should reread what the gp said.
