You're slower because you're a novice in the artisanal skills of coding: work done with your hands and your emotions and intuitions. The craft -- the art of coding is known to those who love it as "hacking". It's a skill that lives in your eyes and in your fingers. But to start your journey, you first need to free your mind of the ideas you have about productivity. The journey you are asking about is one of unsteady progress, of long slogs and flashes of brilliant inspiration. It is a journey without known destination, and one who undertakes journeys into the wilderness must be wiley and shrewd and accepting that their voyaging will proceed at a walking pace not a sprint. It will involve deep reflection and self-knowledge and having faith in your beliefs. You will learn to read subtle signs and pass seemingly impassable obstacles. But this journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Set down the LLM and go forth into the fearful vastness where you have only yourself to rely on.
