Do you suppose you may be suffering from burnout? What you have just described sounds a lot like that. > What's odd is that I have been capable of nearly inhuman levels of focus in the past. > It's like a mental block and it's been going on for weeks now. I struggled with this before but powered through it. These lines signal to me that you may have an unsustainable relationship with your duties. Some questions will help you reflect ans self-assess how severely you are suffering, or if it is something that can be isolated to your current tasks. Have you recently sacrificed time with family and friends, or scheduled personal leisure time for your duties? Have you sacrificed your hygiene and personal management for your office duties? If you have been unproductive lately, have you seen an increase of unscheduled and unenjoyable leisure and free time? Have you been waking early but still feeling vegetative and sluggish lately, if you are not a consistent early riser? Back to the task, it depends on how well you understand the problem and how well and accurately time-costed it is. I'll let someone with better experience managing uncertainty in projects reply on that.
