Used to do a bit of this. I would take my draft and have someone marginally familiar with the item/process try to follow it. They would often hit a wall. I'd then go back to the subject matter experts and it was invariably a step they had skipped over because "everyone knows that". No they don't. That is why I'm writing it out.

Sadly, not everyone can achieve it. For some, it’s because they don’t have enough work-life balance and get fatigued at work; others feel that there is no purpose in the job they’re doing; maybe they’re underqualified and struggle to succeed or overqualified and think that they don’t utilize their full potential. The reasons can be numerous, for each person their own.
At the same time, some people are determined not to tie their full happiness solely to their job. For instance, they don’t expect the work to fulfill them and view it only as a way to make money they could spend on something that will.

As this Reddit comment pointed out, tying happiness to a job is dangerous because you can always be let go any second, and with that, the fulfillment would go, too. There’s simply too much that is not in your hands.
Another comment said that as long as the job isn’t horrible, unethical, and with a decent salary, it’s good enough just to be a job, not a source of fulfillment. And there’s nothing wrong with going by such a philosophy.
In fact, if you’re one of those people who would like to have a job that’s comfortable but doesn’t have to be the most exciting one, this list is just for you. Essentially, it’s a catalog of professions where you can work from home and get nice pay, but simultaneously, it is pretty monotonous.

For example, jobs in data entry and management are dubbed to be the most boring professions out there. It’s because most of the work days look the same for people working in this sector, but if routine or even monotony doesn’t scare you that much, you surely can consider it.
Actually, even though we dub these professions as dull, maybe they wouldn’t be for you. After all, you know the saying that we all are distinct and we find different things amusing and boring. No matter how cliche it is, it doesn't change the fact that it’s true.
