Your Definition
A slow, work-related mental and emotional decline that happens when you’re underused and underchallenged—stuck in routine, unstimulating tasks (often admin-heavy), leading to intellectual boredom, professional stagnation, and unfulfillment. It’s often described as the opposite to burnout: instead of being overwhelmed by overload, you’re worn down by underutilisation of your skills and lack of meaningful growth.
