If you're burnt, the best thing to do to fix that is take time off. Try walking (1hr/day) with out your phone and just disconnect to see if that helps immediately. Try to spend more time outside or in nature if possible to help you decompress and recover faster.

Strongly second this -- disconnecting from tech and stressors has been helpful for me in the past. Lots of walking, reading physical books, and just going places and thinking (I'm partial to a nice waterfront but your mileage may vary)
