I've plodded through a miserable couple of years and am certain I'm burnt out. I've just handed in notice for my job, and know for certain that one week won't remove the feeling of work life AND home life sucking.
As humans, we bring meaning to whatever we choose. Nothing really has meaning except through the wiring in our brains. It's unfortunate that we concentrate so much on making money, that we don't concentrate on those things that would eliminate the need for it at all.
Maybe personal health (physical and psychological) is the third leg. ONE of the three can be compromised for a while, but if you compromise two, you'll end up losing all three pretty quickly.
Even if it was intended as an attack, it's not the most offensive response I've received to the post by a long shot.
This is a real holiday: not just letting the body take a break but the mind.
To really recover, it is better to live like a local somewhere for a longer period of time. Assuming you are really burned out, it isn't like you are getting real work done anyway. You can also ease back into working from a remote location after a few weeks or months, maybe on another project.
Plenty of places where you can do this cost effectively (under $25 per day), the key being getting out of the tourist economy.
