Been working for 7.5 years in Software and Gaming. I've been feeling burned out for a while now and with occasional time out,I come back fine. This time, I'm really done and want to take some time off. I'm more interested in creating content, design, making products and so on. How should I proceed? I can survive fine for tbe next 6-8 months fine without a job.

    Do nothing the next months, nothing productive, you end up where you started. Enjoy your time, breathe out and dont stress yourself with the next enterprise being productive, creative etc. Do yoga or meditiation to get rid of what you brought to this decision.

    Try to take leave over quitting.
