It seems you've figured that the real consequence of skipping a day is losing motivation for the next day, rather than a loss of improvement. The number I've heard for how long before you actually start to lose any gains you have made is 6 weeks, so if you get really bogged down for a week apartment hunting, you can get back into it almost where you left off. As long as you get back into it. That's the hard part.

For the burpees, I'd say break them into sets. They exist in this odd category as a mostly anaerobic cardio exercise that require a certain level of strength too. So, like sprints or strength training, I think it would be perfectly reasonable to keep breaking them into sets.
