👉 Flatline is a term used to describe a situation where someone feels like they're stuck doing the same thing over and over again, with no improvement or change. It's often used as a metaphor for something that doesn't move forward in any meaningful way.
For instance, imagine you have a job interview where your boss wants to know about a project. You've already worked on it for a while, but you're not sure how to proceed. Another flatline scenario could be trying to find the best route to reach your destination from point A to point B, only to realize that every option is going in circles or has a long wait time. Using 'flatline' in these scenarios can add an edgy or unsettling edge to discussions about progress and change, making it seem like a constant struggle rather than just a matter of getting something done.
