I’ve never burned out but my productivity fluctuates drastically. Perhaps I would describe it as having frequent but very minor burnouts (no, I am not bipolar).
The biggest contributor to akrasia for me is a subjective lack of mental energy. I can greatly temporarily increase my productivity with caffeine but usually avoid it for health reasons.

For what “health reason” are you avoiding caffeine? Depending on your answer, there may be some close substitutes that you can try.
Bad sleep rhythm, anxiety/stress problems. My tendency to start taking it late in the afternoon before sleep if I take it at all.
This. Other drugs used correctly to balance out the after effects of other drugs and caffeine as well.
