Ask HN: How do you handle boreout?

Take a whole week preferably 10 days off. Try not to resist the tempatation, you'll expend more effort feeling guilty, and that's equally non-productive.

I know from experience that it is completely counter-intuitive if you care about your project to just forget it for a while, but I also found that I was able to focus better on the real priorities when I dropped the ball, and had to restart.

Take the day off to play video-games!

Sounds like you need a day off to play video games.
