Sometimes you just have to stop taking photos for a bit. I know that's not usually what photographers say.

I guess it's similar to revising for an exam - no matter how much you like the subject eventually simple words lose their meaning if you don't step away for a bit.

I don't know how many paid gigs (obligatory photography events) you have coming up but it's good to put the camera down for a couple of weeks.

If you can't even stand the thought of picking it up in that time - that's fine. Be in life instead of worrying about capturing it. Sometimes it's nice to go to do stuff without having to pack a bag and look after your gear. Have a laugh without looking for a good reaction shot. You'll see some great moments again.

With a bit of time you will start to want to go & explore and take a few photos - and editing will be a breeze because it's only 50. Not 3000 with a short deadline.

If you can't take a break from your bookings - perhaps it's time to start to pass the business tasks over to an assistant to free you up to just be creative.

If you're not in a place to take someone on then perhaps a review of your workflow, schedule & pricing would help you scale without maxing out your creative energy on business decisions.
