I do it by exercise, or going out in nature. Particular fishing. Being a developer its mostly software programming that I get burned out on. Funny if I start working on networking skills at home, with also tackling Ansible for configuration management. I find that programming burn out dimishes in a couple days.

Good point Nicholas, I definitely get burned out more quickly when doing something for longer periods of time without switching to something else. I often have research I want to do, and I noticed that if I switch between my regular day job to doing some research for a while it helps me preserve some energy and stay more engaged.

Thanks for sharing!!
