We're all dealing with a lot of new things right now. Each new thing takes extra mental effort, just because it's not routine habit yet. I've noticed new recipes take 2-3 times as long as familiar recipes, just because I have to pay close attention to the recipe vs. 'collect ingredients, measure, stir, pour in pan without even getting out the written recipe'.

So each new thing is a bigger project than if it were familiar, and the more new things we're dealing with, the closer we get to 'brain full, must reboot'.
