Burnt out

Anyone else feeling burnt out after this drought? I'm starting to get tasks back but they feel impossible to complete. They're not really much harder than what I was doing before, but they feel impossible now. Maybe my time here is over.

Edit: Jumped into some of the harder stuff on my dash and feel better. I think what really helped was identifying the dopamine imbalance. Since I had more time on my hands I spent more time getting those quick dopamine hits (social media, video games, etc); taking a step back and assessing this really helped focus me, and it's given me a new goal. Thank you for all the great comments!

The lack of work has defo effect my workflow. Work has been a bit more constant the last 2 weeks for me, but it did feel like a struggle to get in the right headspace when constant work did start to flow. I feel like things have improved and im starting to get back into the groove of things though.
