I think it has something to do with the background anxiety. Even if you're not particularly scared of the virus because you've been practicing impeccable social distancing and you still have a job, the uncertainty of it all can completely kill flow. And if you have a partner or kids, household management is disruptive even in the most organized families.

I've been blaming myself for the drop in my productivity and thinking something is wrong with me. It just realized that I must be kind to myself during these times.




Background anxiety is a perfect way to describe it, in fact that's what I'm going to say from now on, thanks.
