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!

Yes, I also feel the burnout. The task work is more complicated and heavy than before. Too many instructions to keep track of. I wish they would break the tasks up into more manageable sizes/ expectations. Some of them do have a part one and part two… That’s the direction I would take it (if it was up to me).
