Yes. I have had many weeks, and sometimes even months when I have done nothing.

The root cause for me is ADHD. I'm often distracted to an extreme level. I'll get into work, boot up my computer and then realise it's 5 in the afternoon and I've been reading datasheets for LEDs all day instead of writing code related to work.

Of course this then triggers the anxiety. How do you tell your boss that you haven't done anything? Especially when you have no good reason.

I advise you to nip this in the bud. Try to work out if there was anything internal or external holding you back but if not, don't sweat it. Get away from work, rest, relax and then try again tomorrow.
