A Side Effect of the Covid-19 Pandemic? Reading Got a Lot Harder

I have actual data on my writing productivity to back this up. There's a chart at http://www.dahosek.com/writerly-resolutions-march-status-qua... which shows my progress on my novel for the month of March. Once the quarantine began, my progress collapsed. April has not been much better. My reading has not necessarily fallen off, but other productivity has.

This is really refreshing to read. I feel like despite being home nearly all the time, I'm simultaneously logging less work hours, getting fewer chores done, exercising less, and overall more tired. I think I am playing with the dog more at least but I feel like I'm in a time warp.

I am currently chalking it up to the monotony being quite exhausting subconsciously, even if it doesn't seem like it at first.
