“Don't touch the stuff on my desk, everything has its place.”

Desmotado
Unmotivated, low-energy, and disengaged from everything around you. In Central America, when someone is desmotado they have checked out emotionally: no interest, no drive, no spark. Usually temporary but hard to snap out of, especially after a disappointment or a rough stretch.
