I've had the opposite effect. Being isolated at home, I had decreased needs of quickly consumable media (no commutes), a decreased need to keep up with hot topics due to less small talk with friends, and more free time. This has allowed me to engage in more activities that require deep concentration, like reading, learning piano, or studying foreign languages (hobbies that I had put on hold for years). I feel way sharper these days mentally speaking, and for the first time in a few years I'm thinking about my life long term (am I ok at my job? what comes after? I am ok with my current social circle or should I change things?, etc).
