Maybe a vacation or sabbatical? Or if you have spare time and some other type of work piques your interest work some on a different project. I've worked in groups where when it's a down cycle, it's really really down... like boring me to tears down. So I started trying to learn stuff that I never deal with at work, even when it is busy. When I would go back to the regular gig it was nice to look at the same code with a "new set of glasses".
