I love your points about bore-out, something that I had been facing but like yourself continue to tell myself if it's ok and I should be grateful I have a job in these times.
Approaches I have taken to this has been is there other personal goals I can create, mostly around growing design maturity in the organisation and community building.
It's a difficult situation to be in, because you're comfortable so why change things but at the same time feeling unhappy. It really feels like being stuck in a twilight zone and I agree to focusing on growing in areas that you *can* control is really helpful
I am always looking forward to your articles, thank you for sharing! I felt I also transitioned through similar "milestones" of a working-on-weekends job, a predictable boring job, a more interesting UX job. However I have not found my spark yet. Currently I am trying our new things to see what could be my next direction, so reading this was super helpful!

It can take a while! What helped me find the things I really enjoy doing is also thinking about what I value a lot and how I look to work
