I was burned out last year. There were a variety of reasons, but chiefly, I realized the one nagging issue I had was not getting anywhere with both of my two 5-year goals I had set myself in 2015. I tried a variety of things to fix this:
Looked for a new job:
This looked like a fair compromise given my dissatisfaction at work. It didn't quite work out immediately.
Learned a new technology:
I grabbed the first opportunity I got at work to learn a new skill and gave it my days and nights. A month into that project, and I felt I had accomplished something.
Took an impulsive vacation:
This just gave me the feeling of being in control, and after I returned I was able to be more decisive about my career.
All this while, I kept reminding myself that I have previously overcome challenges that seemed insurmountable and this shouldn't be different.

Thanks for your sharing! Keep it up.
