is the feeling experienced by many people who are required to remember an excessive number of passwords as part of their daily routine, such as to logon to a computer at work, undo a bicycle lock or conduct banking from an automated teller machine (ATM). The concept is also known as password chaos or more broadly as identity chaos.
One of the tribulations of internet life is password fatigue. Use a different one for every website and you're likely to forget them. Write them all down, or use the same one, and you risk becoming the latest victim of identity theft.'

Where just **looking** at a task makes you tired, before you even attempt to actually exert any physical effort to perform said task.
During an after-school visit with my teenage "horse girl" chum, she had unwisely played afternoon-volleyball with her fellow high-school-girl students at the gym, even though she had a whole trailer-load of hay-bales parked in her family's driveway to unload and put away in the barn. So when we got back to her house and her weary brown eyes first caught sight of said heaped flatbed, she just kinda stood there and stared glumly at the cart with a helpless feeling of major retina fatigue... after all that strenuous sports-exertion that she'd just put out, she rrrreeeeeaaaallllyyyyy didn't feel up to lugging dozens of ponderous weighty hay-bales twenty yards from the wagon to the barn-loft! So we compromised --- I carried the bales from the cart to the barn, and she put them away. She "paid" me for my labors with a warm grateful hug each time I brought a bale to her, and then afterwards she sat wif me on the couch and let me give her a nice long foot-rub.

Having a barista literally turn around and pour a black coffee then turn the payment monitor toward you where the tip options start at 20% OR having a full sit down meal with mediocre service and when the bill comes the server says "An 18% gratuity has already been added to the bill".
Getting extorted every time you engage in a minor customer service experience where historically there would be no tip expected.

Barrack: "So far today I've tipped the barista, the delivery guy and the guy who held the bathroom stall door open for me and wow this is ridiculous; I'd prefer paying extortion money to the Gambino Crime Family
Michelle: "Oh Barrack, you're just feeling some tipping fatigue, don't get crazy"

When negotiating with someone, and you spend the entire time reiterating a simple perspective, and they wear you down by failing to acknowledging anything you say and bringing up things that are completely irrelevant.

The anxiety inducing feeling and dread felt when around groups of children brought on by loud noises, constant questions, strange and sporadic sounds and nagging.
“Did you hear about Mr. Weebler? I heard he quit due to child fatigue! All that screaming and nagging finally did him in!”

"search fatigue": a term that describes the tiring crippleness that overtakes you when contemplating researching a heated topic using a search engine because of the great black holing of narratives that run counter to the Left. I was afflicted by this mental malaise today when I wanted to research to find out whether all of the China virus vaccines had used aborted fetuses during research. I know at least one of them has. The Left, by censoring search results, may have actually encouraged more people to avoid the vaccines by hiding information, even though the opposite was their intention.
I experienced search fatigue when researching up on all the climate activists that have made pronouncements about ocean encroachment into land whom also continue to buy up future properties which will also soon be under this water.

When someone becomes mentally and emotionally exhausted from prolonged exposure to redpill ideology—typically due to its cynicism, distrust, and combative worldview, especially regarding gender dynamics.
“After years in the manosphere, Jake hit redpill fatigue—he just wanted peace, not constant battles.”
