Oh man, have I. Just starting to get out of this phase. Here's what's helped me out:
1.) Disconnect the tech stuff. The more I sat around doing technical things, the more it still felt like I was at work.
2.) Take time off. Really, take time off. You likely get it as part of your benefits if you're with a company, so do it.
3.) Get a hobby--a non-technical one. For me, it's brewing.
4.) Don't spend a lot of time around other burnt out people--this is where the inevitable burnout feedback loop starts.
5.) Scale it back--I realize this isn't always possible, but when you can, take it easy. Continuing to push won't help you out in the long run.
Also, pop over to burnout.io. They've got some good things to say on the matter.
