Not this will help you much at all, but I'm in a similar position. The pandemic has exerted some pretty unexpected effects on me career-wise and even though I enjoy the freedom of working from home, my ambition and productivity have taken a hit. I still do my best to make sure I am not taking advantage of my employer, after all, they pay me to do a job, but my lack of enthusiasm and drive this past year or so are very uncharacteristic as I too have a history of exceeding expectations. I don't have any advice, just letting you know I feel your pain.
