Take time off (PTO, sick days, etc.); you need to plan time off and also recognize when your body/brain just need a break for a day
Recognize your limits; it's okay to say that you can't take on additional tasks
Have mentally stimulating and mentally relaxing hobbies; zoning out and watching TV for a bit is good, but you also need non-burnout things to do that make your brain work a bit
Exercise; physical activity is so incredibly important for health and happiness, it doesn't have to be going to the gym, but you need to be doing something active regularly

Some of these things are easier if you're lucky enough to have the right job. Don't be afraid to change the main contributor to burnout by seeking out a new job that works better for you.
