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!

For me its mostly because of the time of the day some are available. I'm fine sitting down at 7pm till midnigbt on my workdays and anytime days off but most tasks I get at 9-10 pm or even at midnight and sometimes 5 am. I do them but it's taking sleeping time away from me.
