Ask HN: How do you get out of a rut?

Software dev of 12+ years.

I'm in the worst creative and motivational rut I've ever been in.

I can't get excited about code anymore, and creative solutions simply will not come to me. Every single coding task feels 100x the effort that it actually is.

I desperately need to get out of this rut, as it's killing my mood and causing me to spiral downward. I've always been a great engineer but something changed in the last few months.

How have you gotten out of ruts in your life?
