Like, if you're cleaning a house, you can listen to music at the same time.

that I spend on my phone because it's easy to sit down on the sofa

and spend an hour of 30 minutes

or even 2 hours just looking at people's Instagram posts or just scrolling on Reddit and that's not productive at all.
78
I mean, it's okay to spend 5 or 10 minutes on it,

delete or clean up apps that I no longer use.

84
all the ingredients that I need to make the meals for this week.

And declutter a small area like a drawer, Or a room.
86
I usually do this on a Sunday.
87
And then I feel more prepared for the week ahead.
88
There are other routines that I also stick to like drinking enough water every day.
89
and making sure that I go to bed on time and try not to use screens before going to bed,
90
which is quite difficult.
91
And lastly some other things that I do on a Sunday is doing the laundry,
92
cleaning the kitchen and the bathroom watering my plant Thank you.
93
and going grocery shopping.
94
I like to do my grocery shopping at the weekend Like I said before,
95
to make sure that I have all the ingredients for the meals that I'm going to make the following week.
96
I might have to go to a shop

like on a Wednesday or on a Thursday especially for fresh food like fruit
98
and vegetables but generally I go shopping at the weekend for the big stuff like pasta,

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
