I felt something similar last year, and negotiated with my boss a few months off work. I went travelling round Australia, NZ and SE Asia and completely removed work from my mind. I just returned this week and I'm feeling enriched, refreshed and eager to get stuck into work again.

Time off like this really helps with burnout, I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I was away for just over three months (16th December to 1st April)
