I worked from home mostly anyway, so used to find time during the week to practice and record whilst I was the only one in. Now though, my wife is also working from home and due to a small house, there's nowhere I can play that wouldn't disturb her working. She's crazy busy so at her computer 7-7 5 days a week.
Weekends I've been busy with DIY or gardening, though I have found some time to play.
There's also been no band practices or gigs
What guitar I have played has been acoustic though
One Brook Torridge, one Bourgeois OMC, and a Yamaha LS26 later....
I really need to sell at least one.
No criteria per se, just sat playing them all for 6 hours and thinking to myself which one I can bear to part with (and what would make the most sense, financially).

Lowering my expectations has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.
I've been playing (badly) for 16 years and this is the first time that I've been properly giving acoustic a go.
I'm lucky enough to have a mahogany concert and a rosewood dreadnought, so it has been lovely switching between the two.
After a bit of research I bought a relatively cheap new Revelation RJTL DLX (based on the Jazzmaster) lefty and it has worked really well, despite the narrow 43mm nut width.
Then I went for a lefty Variax 500 on eBay in great condition - which has a 42mm nut width but didn't feel uncomfortable for fingerstyle. This opens up a huge range of possibilities to experiment with (particularly coupled with the Line 6 XT live which I also went for).
However, I can't see myself deserting acoustics. You can't beat the tone, shape, convenience and feel of the vibrations of an acoustic when playing.
