My biggest fear after my burnout was that I'd killed my passion for the rest of my life but I was able to take a year off (after 6 years non stop) and now I'm back at it for 2 years now with the same vigor I had when I started. There is a good chance you can see 80% of the benefit by taking only 20% of the time off that I did. Start with a 2 week vacation and then notice how after 2 days you're itching to get back to work on something. Resist the urge, let it build. After two weeks go back to work and find that your first week back is great but don't get demoralized when your 2nd week you find yourself in the same rut. Your weekends are 32 waking hours (almost a full work week) where you can pursue activities that are not work and can be your own vacation (32 hours ~= 40) if you get up early and get out. If that doesn't work then think seriously about taking 6 months off and see where your hobbys/desires take you. Good luck!
