I had a burn out and had been home recovering for about 4 months from January, and only slowly building back up since May, and have been back fully since late August, so it definitely feels like this. Time passes really quickly and unremarkably when you sit at home doing 'nothing'.

Yep, I remember reading that novelty makes time feel longer, because your brain doesn't have to process as much when you're doing something you've done a million times.
