I interpret it differently; it’s usually a signal that my current approach to an activity is not effective. And it’s not static. For example if I feel this signal when practicing piano songs I otherwise want to improve on, I will try an entirely different or new sheet. If I still feel it, I’ll just do some technical practices and then stop. If I feel it when it’s a chore I know I should do, I give myself the option between that chore and another. Whenever I challenge the feeling like this I end up being more in control than simply giving up altogether.
