I also recently dealt with my first burnout. What helped me most was a trip away to a (somewhat dull) area with my close family Avoided looking at any of my screens, temporarily ban any work-related thoughts for a few days; went on hikes, made good meals

Was a bit bored but being able to pause and rest made a world of difference

It's counterintuitive, but I think feeling bored sometimes is a good thing. I think being overstimulated all of the time can have negative effects on our health that we do not yet understand.
