my tactic: if you are burned out on coding, stop and do something else positive:
* go for a run
* do an errand that has to be done anyway
* balance your checkbook
This gets your mind on something else which is probably the problem - we aren't meant to stare at a screen doing exactly the same things over and over for 8 hours.
And remember, you are not alone in this. No depression allowed - you are not weak, you are human.
Doesn´t work for me. After I get my mind off the issue at hand and do an errand, when I come back I´m at the same position I was before. Sometimes even worse, because of the context switching.
