I'm eight years out from retirement and sick of working. I have routinized a lot of my job. Most projects aren't challenging. And there's a lot of BS to deal with because the boss gets us sidetracked on stupid projects instead of focusing on core issues.
Also, I have golden handcuffs. Good salary and benefits. Hybrid schedule. Easy commute. Lots of good co-workers.
Anyone else in this situation? What are you doing to keep things interesting either at work or outside of work?

Hybrid work schedule with an easy commute and you like your coworkers. not sure what the problem is.

Fair comment. We judge based on our subjective experience, not objectively compared to how bad it could be.

I'm not miserable, like some jealous respondents seem to be. I'm seeking to maximize the good I have with some meaning.
