IMO it's very similar to what I've seen with writers.

There will be literally days sometimes where I just can't get past a "block". Generally they come at points where I need to start something new, or work on the next "phase" of a project, and I just can't get started.

But then something will "click" and i'll be hyperfocused on it, and before I know what happened it's 7pm and even if I stop now my mind won't let me stop thinking about it. I'll lay in bed thinking about it, i'll dream about the project, i'll be excited to get to work in the morning to do what my mind was toying with the night before.

And then i'll start to "clean up", start to dot all the i's and cross all the t's and i'll get it to a point where that part is "done", then i'm back at square one.
