I kinda relate on the feeling of it in the beginning. When things were shutting down, I don't know if I'd say I was happier exactly but I got way more productive in a way that flies in the face of mentalities that would claim scare pressure is needed or people won't do things. It felt like a lot of pressure I had on myself was temporarily lifted and I did like a draft of a novel, some game project. Idk, it's a weird thing. I often feel like time is running out in one way or another, but for that brief period, it felt like I had time and I used it. Maybe some of it was the slowing down feel of things like you mention. I do tend to think the high speed internet / telecomm tech aspect of things has made people more angsty in relation to time, but the number of hours in the day hasn't changed. The main difference is it's easier to ping somebody instantly from anywhere and it's easier to burn time with engrossing distractions like internet content.
