is it burnout, or could it be 😶 boreout?
S T O R Y
Does this sound like you?
I’m going about my day feeling like I can do it all with my eyes closed. There's little that challenges me, excites me, uses my strengths. I’m clock watching and coasting and bizarrely wasting time even though there’s plenty of stuff to do. I’m googling or social media scrolling when I probably shouldn’t be, I’ve got very little motivation to do the stuff I am actually meant to be doing - and it all feels so meaningless and purposeless. I’ve got very little to look forward to, and what I’m doing is literally draining the life out of me.

If this stuff resonates with you, then it’s like that you’ve got boreout. A term that’s used describe extreme dissatisfaction, disinterest, or boredom with one's work. It's often accompanied by feelings of under-stimulation, under-appreciation, and frustration.
Boredom can lead to feelings of frustration and hopelessness, which can contribute to job burnout. While it might seem counterintuitive, doing nothing or being unengaged can be just as stressful as being overworked.
On top of this, chronic boredom can negatively impact your mental health, leading to issues like depression, anxiety, and increased stress.
