Why do you feel tired at work? What are the common reasons for feeling tired at work?

Most people have complained about how tiring and hard work is. Why do people get tired so easily even if they sit in an office every day? Why do people feel so exhausted even though their work is not busy?

1. The work is repetitive and boring

I think no one in this world hates novel and interesting things, and no one likes boring things. Whether it is reading a novel or playing an exciting game, as long as it is interesting, we can easily concentrate on it. Even if it takes a whole day, we can still be diligent and energetic.

In fact, the same is true at work. When you feel tired, it may not be because you have consumed your mental or physical energy, but because your work is too repetitive and your brain is not interested at all. It is protesting to you: Hey, this kind of thing is too boring, I can't find the meaning, I don't want to do it anymore!"

2. Suffering from occupational burnout

Occupational burnout is a psychological exhaustion phenomenon caused by work. It is the feeling of physical and mental exhaustion and energy depletion experienced by office workers under the heavy pressure of work. This is different from physical fatigue and exhaustion, but is caused by psychological fatigue.

When a person works in a certain profession for a long time, and repeats mechanical tasks day after day, he or she will gradually feel tired, sleepy, and even bored. It is difficult for him or her to be interested in work, and he or she can only work out of inertia. Therefore, the famous Canadian psychologist Christine Maschler calls patients with occupational burnout "corporate sleepers."

3. No interest in work

Who can always devote themselves to work with passion? There must be those who love their careers very much. Living in a society of interests, we know that external motivational factors are indeed very tempting. Work performance, promotion and salary increase, bonuses... are all the profit goals we strive to pursue. However, if a person wants to show extraordinary excellence at work, the key driving force does not come from the outside, but from the heart. If a person finds work boring, the brain's activities will also be confused because of anxiety. How can he talk about "flow" and enter the state of selflessness?

The deeper reason for feeling tired at work is that you may have also vaguely realized that you are doing a job with little future, and the only value of your position is to take on some work that others are too lazy to do or don't want to do. You have wasted another day of your precious years here today, and this is a day in your best years. What's more frustrating is that even though you are fully aware of this, you will still be sitting here tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

You feel tired because you are unhappy, and you are unhappy because you cannot deceive your own heart.
