If you're getting burnout doing agile, you're doing agile wrong.

Don't do sprints. Have a continuous backlog. Don't do overtime. Don't make estimates. Always do the simplest thing. Only ever do the most important thing, as defined by the stakeholder.

I've written and talked about this at great length. The fact people suggest agile gives you burnout reinforces my experience that Scrum is largely misinterpreted and people incorrectly focus on sprint commitments. If Scrum is so commonly misinterpreted, it is flawed.
