I've experienced burnout a couple times. For me, a week of TV will make the world start looking brighter again. However, if I try and actually work for more than an hour or two, that murky grey feeling of dread pops straight back.
Both times I've gotten properly burned out its taken me ~3 months to recover properly, and really start enjoying my work again.
