Maybe it’s too much focus on work and not enough relaxation or vacation to let new ideas flow in? You could be the best at x task but there are only 5 positions in the middle of nowhere that require it so why spend time on it? Otherwise, audit your time in 15min increments for one week, reduce entertainment, and get enough sleep/exercise/etc. Use a dumb phone. I’m not sure if you’re in a mid life crisis or pre-retirement one. I sat down then wrote a 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 year hypothetical plan and realized I needed to change it all because of the retirement date as well as value for spending my time doing it all.
