>... I know I'm early in my career but I feel tired and unmotivated at work. Work seems like a never-ending treadmill of tasks, many of which are more bureaucratic now and don't interest me. What should I do?

Indeed, time off or time out is a reasonable way to try restore your energy levels and shift your attention. I hope your boss is observant and rational to offer this to you.

Meanwhile, I'd try to review some of your past successful accomplishments, those that consumed your sweat and efforts. Often we underestimate our successes. It maybe a morale booster for you too.

Also, helping others may be another way to reset your perceptions. Given your experience, you may try to ask if you could mentor someone or onboarding. In a way, it's a step in the leadership direction.
