Tujoneihin

Tujoneihin is a Finnish neologism that emerged in the early 2020s to describe the collective feeling of being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information and tasks one encounters in modern life. It is not a formal psychological term but rather a colloquial expression reflecting a widespread sentiment. The word is derived from "tujuttaa," meaning to stuff or cram, and "ihin," a common suffix in Finnish.

The feeling of tujoneihin is often associated with the constant influx of notifications from social media, email, and various news outlets, as well as the pressure to keep up with work responsibilities, personal projects, and societal expectations. This continuous bombardment can lead to a sense of mental fatigue, decreased focus, and difficulty prioritizing. Individuals experiencing tujoneihin may feel perpetually busy yet unproductive, struggling to find moments of calm or deep engagement.

While not a clinical diagnosis, the concept of tujoneihin highlights the challenges of information overload and the mental strain it can impose. It encourages a discussion about digital well-being, the importance of setting boundaries with technology, and the need for strategies to manage cognitive load in an increasingly complex world. The term has gained traction online and in popular discourse as a way to articulate a shared experience of modern living.
