If you're on the brink of being burned out creatively, the simplest solution could just be to change your environment in some way. Tech blogger Scott Berkun has more:

You spend 8 hours a day in that space: it's worth taking a couple of hours to improve it by even 5 or 10%.

What is your coping mechanism for getting through burnout? Let's hear in the comments.
