👉 Shortcuts fumes refer to the mental and physical exhaustion that occurs when individuals repeatedly use shortcuts or workarounds to complete tasks more quickly, often at the expense of quality or accuracy. These shortcuts can lead to increased stress, decreased productivity over time, and a higher likelihood of errors. The term "fumes" metaphorically captures the draining effect these practices have on one's cognitive resources and overall well-being, as the brain and body struggle to maintain focus and efficiency when constantly relying on less optimal methods.
