Taking a break from something you're pursuing is extremely rewarding. I first noticed this when I injured myself and couldn't run for 2-3 weeks. When I starting running again I was a whole new person. The time off was a great opportunity for personal growth. I noticed this pattern again later in life when I quit my job as a programmer without any solid plans or much money in the bank. Now I'm back and feel better than ever. I sincerely encourage anyone who loves programming but feels burnt out to _choose_ to take a break. If taking a break seems difficult focus all your energy on making it happen.
