I'm Abhijit, a student and a growing web developer from India.
Sometimes I feel the same way about work too. It goes like this for me: I overwork one week and the next week I'm completely burnt out. I feel like I've come to a halt.
I want to make it clear that I am not employed and am a student so my methods could be of little use to you 😅 (I hope you find them useful though).
The ways you can avoid burnout are:
Take breaks between works. I don't usually follow any Pomodoro timer or anything like that but you can try them!
Play games (I'm playing Baba is You nowadays!) and watch YouTube videos. They may or may not be unrelated to tech. Learning a new skill from YouTube doesn't feel like work to me but you might feel different.
I sometimes help my mother with house chores. Feels good. =)
Also, I've assignments from my college. Completing them takes a lot of time so I'm inspired enough to code again!
P.S. I don't follow the above steps strictly. I sometimes come into a slack after working a lot too. But I hope you find something that suits your needs!
Hey Code! Nice to hear from you!

Take care and welcome to Dev! 😄
Hey Abhijit, nice to meet you! Thanks a lot for the tips, I'll give them a go and see what happens. Thanks!
