Ah burnout i'm sure we have all had it at least once in our lives. Yes you are right the best way to get over it is by doing something completely different and taking a break. Good article thanks for sharing.

Burnout is generally pretty nasty. And I am baffled by how many resources that talk about getting past it offer advice that can be summed up with "just do more".
For example, "oh, you are exhausted and you can barely get out of bed? Here is a 32 step morning routine to get you going".
While cleaning your living and work area is so helpful, battling burnout by adding more responsibilities and higher expectations is so damaging. The way I was able to snap out of it was by taking two weeks off from work and university altogether. I went on vacation, explored my hobbies and spent time with loved ones. In addition, I removed all alarms and I slept until I woke up naturally every day, even if that ends up being 12 hours. I also didn't wait for my exams to pass, but rather took a break when I needed one.,
My body was begging me for rest, variety and generally a fresh start. Yet, even after all this, I still carried fatigue over to my work when I got back.
From that experience, I learned that sometimes it is ok to just stop trying so hard and take a step back. Just dump the "do-more" mindset and take a break from it all.
