Why do you think the standard advice is incorrect? It isn't. No changes in routine or other tricks will resolve true burnout. You need time off. You can make changes in your routine when you come back to avoid burning out again, but you cannot shortcut recovery.

Maybe they mean standard advice is good, but what else to layer on top? Vacation plus therapy? What sort of Vacation? Travel the world, beachy relaxing Vacation, volunteer?

  Take a relaxing vacation, preferably one where you dont have to think/stress too much. After that anything else you do will only marginally improve your situation

      Sometimes you can withdraw from the one thing that bugs you most, and that can make a world of difference. If you can't do that, the next best thing, or maybe even better, is to slow down enough to fix that one thing like you haven't had time to do earlier. For that you do really have to slow down, so what would have been more work before is very approachable, but the clear goal is the satisfaction once the worst annoyance is behind you, hopefully for good. You may still be doing technical work, but on the whole your tech/non-tech balance can lean strongly toward the non-tech goal of reduced annoyance & stressors, and that's where progress should be maintained. One problem can be when tech goals are so overwhelming it actually requires halting all other efforts. This can be essential to overcome some obstacles. But you can't do this forever. Or endlessly, which seems like forever, and you're not a wimp for when your strength crumbles at different times, for different reasons or in comparison to others. Nobody can actually take it, and everybody is a different camel sometimes lugging large amounts of straw on their back more than others. Maybe what helps is attitude adjustment and building up a tolerance to things that most others would not, that might even be what it takes a lot of the times to accomplish things that others would not. You just can't do it in a way that takes an intolerable toll.
