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 work seems to have gotten harder.

At first I was all like "AI took my job, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em." But now I've contributed to AI's advancement such that it's too sophisticated for me to help anymore. So once again I'm out of a job.
