When fatigue sets in, instead of forcing myself to play something I draw, read magazines, catch up on the olds around the interwebs, do some cleaning around the house, read books, all such things. To me it happens when the last game took a very long time to finish. Sometimes that last game has also become very special making it difficult to find another to fall in love with. There is also the rare case of indecisiveness where I am unable to pick and play the next game in my library. I overcome it by installing ten games and play them in a random order to see which I keep playing which is the next one likely to be finished.
I never force myself to play or start thinking and feeling guilty for having thousands of games still to play. This would only drive me away from gaming for even longer when I don't particularly feel like it. Gaming has its place in my life and will always have even though I'm not playing anything for weeks or months. Since it isn't the only thing in my life I can very well live with the time it takes to go back to it so it doesn't feel particularly difficult to stay away. :-)
