feeling like my brain isn't getting a workout these days
I wonder if anyone else has experienced this, at least professionally: the feeling that, despite being capable of so much more, the work and projects given to you aren't all that engaging.
I think I thrive on solving problems, issues, or projects that really interest me. Currently in my office, I'm not seeing too much of that. It makes me think "maybe I should find another job!", but simultaneously, I have had the most amazing work/life balance of my life so far.
I'm able to take a month off and just disappear if I wanted to, and everything would (generally) be okay. So I suppose that's the tradeoff. But am I really growing in my field? My career? I'd say not so much. Maybe I do need a new job... hmm...
