I don't want to offend you, but from all I understand about the burnout syndrome it's hard to 'feel some burnout' (either you crash or not. Struggling with work/life is a different thing) and next to impossible to get back on track in 3 days, whatever those involve.
Good that it helped you and I second the advice of stepping away from the machine and doing something involving manual labor.
No offence taken. Sounds like burnout was the wrong term to use. Maybe I staved off actual burnout from developing later on by taking this time off. Either way some manual labour felt good :)
