So our friend Adam Grant,
Sometimes uses the word languishing to describe this, a variety of this experience.
It's a beautiful word, but it's something beyond just feeling stuck or stagnant.
It's also an experience where our nervous systems are jacked up, but we're not getting any payoff for it.

So there's part one, the exhaustion, which is this deficit of life force, the burnout, the part of work that is feeling unsustainable because we don't have enough energy.
energy holding us up.
And then the second part is how to replace that deficiency with something else, something bigger, something more ambitious, something that's going to more reliably create, dare I say, a surplus of energy where we might even be jumping out of bed to get after it in our experience of work.
