I tend to be a perfectionist and finding myself burning out. I read a book this past summer -- https://www.amazon.com/Happy-Teacher-Scientific-Approach-Classroom-ebook/dp/B072HM5XPJ It reminded me about focus on what is important.
I found I do quite a bit of what is suggested already- but the big idea for me is SAY NO. I tend to be the go-to teacher for so much and have joked I wish I was one of the guy teachers I see and leave and come in with my coffee cup and phone (mind you that depends on the teacher -- we just have a few guys who I want to emulate the way they can compartmentalize work/home). That is my goal It was hard, but I have rough weeks, but with talking to my principals and teacher pals...it has really helped.
I have talked to 3 teacher friends this week who are ready to leave and they are amazing teachers - you are not alone. Loving what we do is core to being successful with the kids (they feel it).
Museums and other non-profits actively seek educators http://www.aam-us.org/resources/careers
As educators we are kings/queens of organization - particularly music teachers. HR and training are a great fit (I actually came from that side -- and teaching is ALOT harder - with less pay). I used to get a couple weeks to develop a program in non-school world, in teaching it's 45 minutes prep.
Good luck with your decision making. It's worth looking. If you decide to stay, you won't be wondering if the grass is greener somewhere else. I hope you find a place you can go home with just your phone and an empty coffee cup.
