Bored
What is Bored?
The work you're doing no longer requires the full extent of your abilities or engagement. Days feel repetitive and the absence of difficulty has become its own kind of discomfort. Boredom at work is often a signal that you're ready for something more demanding.
When you might feel bored
Bored is a specific form of unchallenged, which itself is a type of stagnant. You might experience this feeling in situations where stagnant is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define bored.
