I think it is safe to assume we all have pretty specific goals in our professional lives. We are graduate students for some reason, right? I certainly have very specific goals, both short term and long term, that relate to my professional development. And, sometimes I feel burned out, it happens. There are so many factors out of my control that sometimes I just loose motivation or I get frustrated, but in the end I want to remain focused on my goals and I want to stay steadfast in my pursuit to make them reality. Here is a good article addressing some zen-like points to help us stay the course and remain dedicated to reaching the promised land.
I also watched a short video of Milton Glaser talking about drawing. That inspired me greatly. The man is so calm and brilliant. Even if you think you can't draw, I have to agree with Milton, I find it a great way to solve any design issue; drawing gets my right-brain fired up and I can see things differently and find better solutions than just brainstorming. Give it a shot.

Thanks Milton, I drew for at least an hour today, and came up with a cool concept for one of my projects.
Dear Milton, I'm going to draw again right now. Thanks for the inspiration.
That zen list is priceless . . . especially # 3
