Narrative: During climb out on the ZZZZZ Departure the flight crew inadvertently exceeded the 250kt restriction above 10;000 ft.  ATC reminded us of the speed restriction and we immediately slowed to 250kts. A short vector for spacing was required with no further issues.This was my first trip back from 4 months off. I feel a lack of current flying experience may have contributed to my inattentiveness/missing the 250kt restriction.[Suggest] perhaps a common departure speed procedure for all US airports?


Second narrative: On departure out of ZZZ; we inadvertently/momentarily exceeded the published 250kt speed restriction climbing above 10;000 feet MSL on the ZZZZZ departure.This was a miss on both the Captain and I. We should have caught it; but ATC caught it first and reminded us to maintain 250 kts. We slowed and were assigned a short vector for in-trail spacing; with no other issues during the flight; or further comments from ATC.There was no excuse for this bust; and although it seemed to be a non-issue in the grand scheme of things; I wanted to take this opportunity to note that in light of current events and due to the unexpected changes to our sequence due to operations; manning; maintenance; weather; delays; crew-rest; sequence changes; etc. We found ourselves on personal high alert trapping one external/potential threat and error after another from the start of the sequence. Like any flight; it is our job to catch these. However; this trip presented a greater number of threats then normal; and it seems to be becoming the norm as of late. I think it is worth noting some of the causal factors we were up against on this trip. - This was the captain's first trip coming off of a 4 month leave of absence. - Delays due to the extreme severe weather that moved through ZZZ delaying us several hours; pushing us up against duty limit (departed 3 min prior to duty limit); forcing Operations Control to get creative.- Maintenance issues with the air conditioning system in ZZZ1.- Delaying boarding in ZZZ1; then boarding only to deplane due to air conditioning issues and the constant rolling delays due to weather in ZZZ.- Unhappy passengers and ZZZ1 gate agents trying to deal with that; all while having customer service managers hovering around them pressuring them to board while constantly asking us what the plan was. - Dispatcher trying to file us through the weather into ZZZ; debating that with them; only to get a re-route from ATC; which changed our duty limit again.- 4 different duty limit changes (did not agree to extend) but none of the operations desks seemed to not know what our duty limit was; and each position (coordinating; tracking; customer service; dispatch; etc.) had a different duty limit/plans for us. This drove the Captain and I up against our actual duty limit; and forced us into the charts to do our own math to protect ourselves. - We felt like this rolling delay started to push us into a corner from all the external factors; and we pushed back where we could. Although we were fit for duty; the distractions were starting to pile up.- Landed late into ZZZ only to find out we were reassigned via voice mail and lost pay and credit for our re-sequence. - During my pre-flights in all locations (ZZZ2; ZZZ1; ZZZ); I spoke with numerous ground crew and flight attendant personnel to check on how they were doing. All but a few all seemed to be distracted by the potential/impending layoffs/furloughs. This made the Captain and I extra observant on preflight and with procedures just to make sure all operations were normal on the ground; and in flight; making sure nothing was left undone; hatches/doors correctly closed; FOD removed; procedures were followed by all crew members; etc. - duty limit changes/difference between what was on the dispatch release; what was printed off the aircraft printer; what the crew supervisor had; and what tracking had. - Undermanned ATC centers; towers; ground crews forcing them to monitor multiple frequencies forcing flight crews to be more vigilant especially in critical movement areas. - On departure out of ZZZ; we took off with a slight tail wind; going a different direction then planned due to ATC limitations. We had to ping dispatch for new numbers using runways opposite to what ZZZ was using from what was on the Dispatch Release. This caused more delays on the ground and we all know how much ZZZ likes that. This brought more heads down time and gridlock in a critical movement area/airport. This seems to be normal these days; making crews wonder if dispatch is paying attention to the current conditions at airports or along the route. In conclusion; we are seeing a high number of threats in light of current viral and economic events. Put this on top of the already ongoing threats; to include lack of proficient crews; aircraft coming out of storage; new dispatchers; and Operations Control personnel relying on past computer models to plan flights with little or no regard to current conditions; and ATC centers/facilities being minimally manned; it can be quite distracting; fatiguing; taxing; and demanding for flight crews to stay ahead of it all and catch every threat and error out there. Thank goodness there is two of us up front; but even then we falter at times; so for that; we own our mistake and will do our best not to let it happen again. If the world would just get back to normal that would be the best thing... In general; pilots doing our best to get back to proficiency and paying attention. Pay closer attention to individual characteristics of airports that differ from the normal procedures elsewhere. Especially airports we don't operate out of often. (I've been to ZZZ just a few times over the past year). Don't let external factors push us up against safety/regulatory constraints/rules to hack the mission. Operations Control needs to get all of its desks who operate the same flight on the same page. The new dispatchers actually need to learn their job; and not push back on flight crews requesting or recommending changes.


Synopsis: Air carrier flight crew reported exceeding an airspeed restriction during departure. The crew cited several factors as contributing; including lack of recent flying; and multiple delays and distractions.
