> Should I take time off? How much? Or should I try to work reduced hours? I'm hesitant because I don't have many hobbies (if any) and in the middle of the pandemic there isn't much to do anyway. I don't think running out of things to do would be any better for my health than continuing as-is. I've been there before and I don't handle boredom well.
I had a similar mindset, I've been very cautious with regards to covid and haven't taken a real vacation since 2019. Since I banked a lot of PTO, I ended up taking every Friday off from September until January. I still have feeling of burnout, but it definitely helped to lessen it.
It can feel like a half-meausure, but it may be one that doesn't feel as extreme for you or you boss/job which may be helpful.
