For the past couple months I feel like I am doing nothing.

I'm part of the research team, but the only 5 people I was managing were moved to a different project.

I've been working with the same company for 5 years, and I've build a lot of stuff, and I guess I'm at a position where they just pay me before I become relevant with some new project.

What do I do? I talked to my supervisor, and I'm suppose to conduct research in AI, but I don't even have a proper hardware to run training, or enough space to download datasets. I just so easy to procrastinate and do nothing.

I'm also going through some hard personal time, and it's impossible to focus on research while alone at home.

Should I just take time of to recover and don't do any work? Should I change my job?

I feel like I have lost my function at the company. Is that normal from time to time? Maybe I should just enjoy the freedom while it lasts

I hope there is someone who went through that, or someone who can give me some perspective. I'm 30 yo & company pays me great money.
