When was the last time you had a vacation? And I mean a real vacation -- not just a day off to work on home projects. Also make sure the vacation itself isn't too much work (i.e., trying to cram as much activity in as you can).
Personally, I bought a camper that I leave parked at a local campground that is within an hour from home. I'll sometimes take off early on Friday and head up there for the weekend, other times I'll take a week off work. But my favorite is to take a 2 week vacation to someplace with an ocean and beach, and spend quite a bit of time either in the water or just laying on the beach listening to the waves.
But the best cure for burnout that I had was when I had a job that was regular 40 hours, that I got laid off from (6 years ago during the height of the last recession). Spent 4 months in the summer with only a couple interviews, but then when I started my new job I was totally refreshed again. It's only been in the last year that I've started feeling bored/tired again, so maybe it's time for another layoff.
