It sounds like you're pressuring yourself and that pressure is blocking you. I definitely find sprints helpful (although, lately my idea of sprints is "Just sit down from 5.30pm and write until 6pm, and if you're over it by then, you can go play your game"). I find having a dedicated small block of time to write helps relieve the pressure for me.
When I feel this blocked, I set a time to sit down, open the document, and write whatever comes to my head. I can delete those garbage words because they're only serving the function of unblocking me. Sometimes I will legit write "Wanda walked to the park and this is so fucking stupid sdjfksjklfdfs" and do that a few times before I finally relax, maybe delete it, and start over and write.
Don't think about the fact that you haven't written much last month or this month. Focus on the fact you've sat down, pick a story or a character/prompt, and just let your brain stretch a little. If you write 80 words, that's good! If you write 1000, that's good! Writing 1 is even better.
