3. Go on vacation. Again, do minimal or no work while gone.
4. Take breaks during the day as if you were at a normal job. Work 2 hours, 15 minute break. Lunch an hour, and when possible go somewhere else to eat versus sitting at computer. You need a chance of scenery.
You will find yourself rejuvenated and read to work once you get back. You will find yourself amped up in the morning to work knowing you are trying to get it all done before 5 or whenever your cut off time is. I also get up at 4-6AM every day. I am simply more productive than getting up at 8 or later.

Keep your workspace clean, your contracts filed, everything dusted, your coffee cup on a coaster, a comfortable chair, and when you are done for the night, walk away from the computer and that's it. These things won't cure burnout but it sure helps prevent it.
