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&#x27;t too much work (i.e., trying to cram as much activity in as you can).<p>Personally, I bought a camper that I leave parked at a local campground that is within an hour from home.  I&#x27;ll sometimes take off early on Friday and head up there for the weekend, other times I&#x27;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.<p>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&#x27;s only been in the last year that I&#x27;ve started feeling bored&#x2F;tired again, so maybe it&#x27;s time for another layoff.
