The rests are written into the music on purpose. So are the quiet stretches in your life.

Empty stretches are part of the structure rather than gaps in it. Without them there is no shape, nothing lands, and everything runs together into noise, which holds for a piece of music and also for a week. A quiet season can be doing necessary work even while producing nothing you can point at.

When you hit a flat period, try treating it as written in rather than as a mistake to correct. Use it for what only fits in quiet, rest, reading, thinking. Not every stretch is supposed to be full.
