I can only speak of my personal experience and I agree with others here that powering through a burnout is a bad idea. If you have to keep working though one thing that can help is becoming more efficient. Spend more time just thinking and planning what you want to work on, and figure out ways to reduce the amount of time and effort it takes. Prioritize work, decide what is essential, ask for help. Sometimes you can figure out software bugs by just reviewing the evidence in your mind and thinking about it, which seems to take a lot less energy than staring at the code and wrestling it. Gather info about problems, then set them aside for a day and let your brain integrate the information. The brain seems to have some ability to figure things out on autopilot, particularly after sleep. Note which things have the biggest effect on you and try to minimize them. I found I was working on problems continuously until I had fixed them, sometimes staying focused for many hours, which was becoming painful. Take breaks often, switch tasks. You may end up only digging yourself more gradually into a deeper hole, but if you see no other choice it may buy you some time. Burnout is most likely not going to go away magically if you try harder, the opposite seems more likely.
