Anne-Laure Le Cunff

Anne-Laure explores a three-step 'Slump Mode Protocol' to help regain motivation and focus when feeling lethargic: body movement to boost endorphins and mental clarity, curiosity stimulation to refresh your mindset, and an anchor action to create a sense of accomplishment. Drawing insights from psychology and biology, she explains how factors like circadian rhythms, stress, dopamine levels, decision fatigue, and emotional exhaustion can contribute to slumps. Rather than powering through, she advocates designing a personalized system with unique activities from three 'buckets' - physical, intellectual, and purposeful - to gently reset your energy levels.
