Is it burnout? Is it creative block? Is it depression? Some combination of the 3? Maybe, but my sense is that once you've been cooking on all cylinders for thus long, being the height of productive and in high performance mode, the inevitable burnout come back as an enormous surprise. This then creates a guilt ridden sense of creative block, that makes you, if not clinically depressed, unhappy. Get a grip. Take a breath. Choose not to panic. Be easy on yourself. Do everything you'll be able to to avoid this not thus virtuous cycle that only ends up in being a lot of out of your groove. Celebrate your accomplishments, irrespective of how small. Re-connect with family, friends and colleagues, ideally those that care very little about your productivity. Re connect along with your self and nature. Of course, bursts of inventive energy/output and the down time in between are both necessary to your long term success as they every have the seed to feed the other. This can be a virtuous cycle you wish to stay going.
Keep pencil & paper at hand to write down down rambling thoughts. Keep a blank page open on your computer for the identical reason. Keep an audio recorder close by if you like to verbalize things. The results of this stream of consciousness would possibly or would possibly not lead to anything useful. The purpose here is simply to stay your mind moving freely and gently. When you are prepared, you'll retreat to within the groove.
Go notice something to try and do that generates its own momentum. For many of us who do a fair quantity of inventive work within the digital area, making something tangible will ease a artistic block. Once you've got designed a lot of internet sites, product launches, and marketing campaigns all in cyberspace, perhaps making one thing tangible will nudge you back into the artistic flow. This notion can additionally apply to those of us who work in ephemeral, performance based mostly mediums.
Making a lovely dinner, a table, a dress, a scribbly drawing, or something that takes you out of your usual artistic space, will nudge you into the creative flow you need. Oftentimes the tangible step-by-tangible step method of making something utterly unrelated to your last batch of work will generate the momentum needed to urge your groove back.
If you are focused on your personal "why" you do what you do, be it in art and/or business, the down time between creative/energetic bursts of productivity is the time to enjoy that "why" being absolutely assured that your groove never very leaves you, it simply needs to rejuvenate itself.
