English and Beyond: Advanced English for Fluency & Communication

E14 Ennui and Toxic Productivity - Deep conversations to improve your advanced English comprehension


Listen Later

Feeling unmotivated? You’re not alone! In this episode of English & Beyond, I explore the common struggle of losing motivation—whether in work, hobbies, or language learning. September is usually my mini New Year, but this time, I’ve found myself stuck in ennui (a perfect French word for deep boredom and dissatisfaction).

César joins me to discuss how to stay productive when motivation disappears. We share strategies for building strong habits, keeping up with goals (like learning English!), and finding your "bare minimum" to maintain progress. If you’ve ever lost momentum in your studies, work, or fitness routine, this episode is for you!
