In depression, as in "depression rooms" it is generalised fatigue (I would say fatigue with life).
In executive functioning issues, as in "doom piles" it is something they say is akin to decision fatigue, but all the time.
The solution to both as I read it is "do a small part of it", which is essentially depression advice (baby steps, everything is an achievement).

I liked the insights but I must say it was a lot of text for a pretty simple set of things that were talked about. Perhaps the human angle (there were some experience bits more related to people) might please another reader.
I spent more than a couple days in a hotel room recently and was surprised how empty it felt when I was doing more or less nothing. At home I could have done the same and not noticed how much time I was wasting.
