Ask HN: How to get motivated after burnout

I've been interviewing for two months (the Leetcode variety) and didn't get any offers. I find that when I can't understand a piece of code, I spend a lot of time on one question. This is what happened at my last job. I often spent a lot of time figuring one thing out, and there wasn't enough help available. It seems to take me a longer time to figure things out than other people, and it seems like most teams just expects you to figure it out and then deliver. Usually after the honeymoon period, I cannot maintain interest in anything, and even though I know I need to, I just can't no matter what. It's probably an attention/cognitive issue. Anyone has experience and found a solution for that? Also, at what point do you decide that a particular career is "not a good fit for me" or "just difficult in the meantime"?
