I’m very surprised that nobody in this long discussion thread recommends to SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP. Burnout is a very serious thing and, even assuming you can detect it before it’s too late, which is NOT a given, taking a walk in the woods or forcing some discipline on yourself probably isn’t going to be enough. And if you detect it too lte, then it takes a very, very long time to recover. Don’t take this issue lightly.

I completely agree it's not to be taken lightly. Having said that most people don't have access or willing to seek professional help (for different reasons). Discussing with friends and even a community such as this one is a good start.
