Cold take:
Many things that go brrr are either stuck, unloaded, or broken.
Stuck as in wheel spinning in the mud without getting traction.
Unloaded as in things designed to handle load X going too fast when X --> 0.1X
Broken as in some restraining mechanism came loose

A lot of my pandemic productivity is actually the unloading effect. Since many harder big things are off limits for the moment, I'm diverting that energy to lower-load projects, which are going faster as a result. Ie I am diverting "work" level energy to "hobby" grade projects

This a good thing in the short term but long term it is going to lead to atrophy. Literal example, it’s already happened with strength. Regular weights workout replaced by lighter and more frequent/higher reps dumbbell workouts. Muscle mass lost. Not that I had much to begin with
