Honestly, quite poorly overall. It's a tad surprising given how much I usually enjoy working from home and what not, and how much time I now have for hobbies and what not... but I guess the repetition and lack of any real routine has actually got to me here.
I'd also say the following three factors hurt it too:
1. The feeling you're wasting your time. If you go by Hacker News/Reddit/Product Hunt/other sites, you'd think everyone and their dog has built some world changing product or service in this lockdown period, and that you're a complete failure for not having managed to do the same.
2. The lack of alternatives. Previously, working remotely was fun because there were other things you could do, and other entertainment you could enjoy if you were burnt out. In this lockdown, you basically can't go on holiday, visit any interesting places, buy things in most shops, eat in any restaurants, etc. There's nothing except 'do work' and 'work on your side projects'
That's left me in a situation where I feel like I'm just not able to do anything, and have little to no motivation to even try to do anything.
