This may be a little off from what others are saying but when I was burned out of tech, I got a job at a Starbucks. An entry level barista. I worked there a year and at the end I was ready to hop back in the saddle with programming.

I learned a lot a Starbucks about people, how people think, how to be adaptable, compromise, etc. These skills directly transfer to to being a geek.

I work on my own things now but those were fond days for a lot of reasons. Most of which gave my brain the rest it needed and then the energy to stat up again.

I hope this helps. I'd love to talk or answer specific questions.
