I completely burned out about three years ago and took a break. I was working at a digital agency and the work was good but the hours were really crazy with tough deadlines. It was all exciting but then I just burned and couldnt just write anymore.

I decided to take a break, went into banking - Yeah! Worked in the front office and doing clerical tasks for about a year and it was extremely refreshing. It was a huge bore a lot of the time but the break was helpful because I had plenty of free time compared to previous job so I could spend the time doing side projects and learning a lot of stuff online.

After one year away, I had spent the time learning new things and tools and was really excited to get back into full time development again. And now pretty happy I did that. I guess I needed that.

You dont have to take another job or career change. Just take some time and do the things you liked about development or try new things and you'll get the mojo back. But defn take a breather I guess. A couple of days away
