I only managed to produce one paper in 6 months of research. How do I survive? (sh.itjust.works)

I am in the field of applied math, and it took me 6 months to produce a paper. And now, I am out of ideas for new papers.

What should I do? How do I even continue? This is sooo difficult..

Thanks a lot, I should talk to my advisor. That said, they are very busy; I took a mistake of going to a busy advisor..

Why are is your advisor so busy? Who is paying them to be busy? Is there enough cash to go around? You gotta weasel yourself in there for a piece of that pie...
