Overcoming Ennui In The Pandemic

Much of life in the pandemic has felt like a rollercoaster ride, with huge ups and downs to deal with. However, as the world has had a year to contend with the ever-changing situation, a new issue has emerged; many are now suffering from a sense of ennui, otherwise known as listlessness or dissatisfaction. How can one combat ennui not just at the workplace, but in the new normal life in general? Sheila Singam, founder of Human Equation, discusses how she’s handled ennui over the past year and how you can identify and overcome it yourself.
