Yes! A few months back I was feeling quite burnt out over this feeling.

Taking a step back and focusing on a wider variety of work / hobbies / projects did wonders for my work motivation and ability.

It seems to me that taking on a larger, wider variety of mental tasks actually improves ones ability to focus on a single one, instead of spending all energy on one task (or job).
