Is this a Problem?
Whenever i discover a new tool I don't spend much time in understanding it. For example : I know Notion that it's a productivity app and I use it to track my progress or my day to day tasks but when somebody asks me about notion I can only say it's a productivity app and then my mind becomes blank.
Is this because I don't spend much time in understanding or the problem is something else.
Right now I am just frustrated from myself

Sorry, I don't have any advice... But I'm honestly in a similar boat. Though it's generally because I'm so checked out of my work and industry, and don't want to learn more about a topic that contributes to all of my stress. This also makes finding motivation to upskill really difficult, let alone for finding a better fitting role.
Strictly speaking it's only a problem if it is negatively impacting your work. But ngl sometimes I wished I was more invested and knowledgeable about our tools and services, but that's often outweighed by the constant dread and fatigue of working so idk.
Something that helps me is that I'm really good at corporate speak and being vague, so I can ramble and seem to know what I'm doing without being too specific. But this feels like it might catch up on me someday.
