Whenever I feel I'm spiraling myself into a burnout cycle, I do a lot of house keeping.
One of the things I've noticed is that the bigger (and older) a certain project gets, the more frustration and stacked up todos I get on my wish list for that project.
So before I get myself head deep into a burnout, I set apart one or two days for reviewing my project in it's entirety, and try to organize it, by cleaning all those old methods, comments; implementing those small tasks that I have planned to build never did (perhaps that cool script for bootstrapping a test environment in a docker-compose file). In shorter terms, I stop with my daily basis tasks and try to make the project a little more fresh, cool looking without more tools that will aid my daily tasks.
Now, I work from home and I run my own business, so I'm more flexible than many of you may be to go about doing these things.
In the long run it seems that it helps me, as it gives me a sense of having a better version of the project.

I hope I helps. Just my fifty cents.
yes that's one of the things I should implement (review days)will probably help with the larger perspective of a project
While it does not solve all the problems, it gives one a refreshing feeling about the project one is into
