Anything that you do every day will eventually get boring. Even the things you love doing will start to feel like a chore (and may actually be one). So you are faced with a dilemma: Do I keep doing it or do I take a hiatus?
At first glance, the answer seems easy. If you are burned out, take a break. But how long should it be? One day? Two? A week? Until you feel inspired to do it again? As it turns out, not doing something is way easier than doing something. And the longer you go without doing something, the harder it is to start back up again.
This is why there is the advice to work through the burn out By keeping ourselves regularly working, we will push ourselves through any roadblocks and will have the faster recovery time from burnout because we will never have to fight the urge to stay inactive.
The flip side to this is that vacations actually are very refreshing. A hiatus can give you time to recharge your batteries and restore your desire to do that thing that you love. The best thing to do is to learn about yourself. Find out how your mind and body function and choose the method that yields the best result in you.
