I can say some things from personal experience. I’ll preface this by saying I don’t presume any of these things are your problems this is just personal experience.
When I’ve lost my intellectual drive it’s usually due to the fact that I’m not meeting some other basic need. I’m either not eating well, sleeping, exercising or I don’t feel secure in my relationships. I get my best production when I’ve had good habits, no sleep issues and I feel loved. It’s tricky because for me all of these things need to be met otherwise it can become a grind to do something productive after like a 30 minute rush. It’s also easy because these needs are mostly under my control. Good sleep and strong relationships are for me the hardest to come by but they come with good habits and learning from experience.
