Today I am totally "brain dead." I haven't felt this way for ages -- now that I come to think of it, not since I started my sabbatical. Ah well, I must be "back" and things haven't changed! It's a feeling I used to have every 6 to 9 days, when I just knew that I needed to take the whole day off. Then, the next day after my "complete holiday" I'd be ready for adminsitrivia or teaching or research, or whatever combination I decided to do. And even if I took a second day "off", that was by choice, not by absolute necessity.
Today every work-related task was difficult, and as a result I did very few of them. And matters were made worse by the fact that I was totally unprepared for feeling this way. I had a busy day yesterday, but no busier than many others I have had recently. From past experience I know better than to overconceptualize the event. I had an off day, and I took it off.
