mental state
Jsem unavená a bez nálady, nechce se mi nic dělat.
Is there any nice English expression for "bez nálady"? In the sense of being tired, not wanting to do anything. Not in the sense of feeling blue or depressed.

to not be in the mood
If you use this, you aren't saying you're depressed, just that you don't feel like doing something for whatever reason (lazy, tired, etc.).
Example sentence:
I'm not in the mood for cooking.

: Problém s vaší odpovědí je, že je předložkovou vazbou, a proto vyžaduje sdělení nač dotyčná není v náladě. zdrojová věta není v tomto smyslu specifická a proto neumožňuje užití vaší předložkové vazby.

I see your point and it's a shame because I think it works well. However, I'd argue that you can say it if context is implied, if it's a response to something, or if you write, "I'm not in the mood to do anything."

listless
Překlad celé věty: I am tired and listless, I do not want to do anything. Podle mého názoru tento výraz nejlépe vystihuje mínění věty, a dovoluje elegantní a dobře plynoucí překlad.
Example sentence:
listless = apatický, lhostejný, netečný, bez zájmu
