Having one of those days where I'm so tired and burned out I can't get anything done.

This may not relate to your dilemma whatsoever. But here it is:

I'm an old man, and since my wife of over a half century passed last summer, I've had many lackluster and low energy days. What is helping me is returning to some of my root interests, which for me are physics and astronomy.

I watch some educational documentaries, or read some books (that's harder) or watch some "Great Courses" lectures on interesting subjects, or on clear nights I stargaze .

It all helps activate my mind and get me out of my doldrums.

@taylorlorenz I recommend meditating. When I say that, I mean do it in the easiest possible form. Allow yourself to be "bad" at it, especially at first. Just sit quietly and don't judge the thoughts that just naturally come to your mind. A lot of people describe it as clearing your mind, I actually don't think that's particularly helpful It's more about letting thoughts happen but also being able to let them go. That's how it works for me anyway.
