Partly from watching other people go through it, partly from getting close to it myself a few times. I recently finished writing a book, while working full time and helping to run my wife's web business. Oh and two kids. I just got back from two weeks holiday, and that wasn't anywhere near enough, but it'll do for now.
Burnout is typically caused by long, relentless periods of overwork and stress, and takes an similarly long time to get over. And yes, it is quite possible the OP is not recovered from his burnout, but I'd rather not see people claiming that it's possible to recover from it by having a couple of days on a beach somewhere. There are enough heroics in IT as it is.
