1
Did you ever feel like you wanna be Someone else for
2
just one day Did you ever feel like you wanna see
3
Through another pair of eyes Did you ever think I might
4
wanna be With anyone else for just one day Did you ever really think of me When I walked away The book, the dunks
5
and the bottle of Jack The smoke's a slob jar in my eyes Now you think you know what you think,
6
you're fine You think you'll figure me out tonight But you'll never know what I won't share Cause I don't care,
7
I don't care You think you'll figure me out tonight But I don't care And I wonder If I'm just killed Alright,
8
I just picked up some breakfast from Pura Vida.
9
There's like a few things that I need to do every day to feel like I had a great day, and one of those things is hitting my calorie goal for the day.
10
I'm doing like a little bulk right now, not an excessive one, and so I'm trying to hit 3 ,800 calories per day,
11
and usually if I eat this fire egg wrap from Pura Vida with some turkey bacon, it's like 900 calories, 44 grams of protein.
12
Sometimes I'll eat at home, but if I'm in a rush or if I have nothing in my fridge, this is kind of like my go -to.
13
Getting the big breakfast in for me literally just helps me hit that goal.
14
If I don't eat this big breakfast, I'm just cooked for the rest of the day.
15
I have to like eat basically every second.
16
But yeah, a thousand calories first thing in the morning.
17
I can just eat like a normal person for the rest of the day.
18
I've been pretty locked in recently.
19
This year I started trying to wake up at 6 30 in the morning
20
and i've been doing it on and off depending on travel like sometimes i'll travel
21
and it'll get all screwed up
22
but today i woke up 6 30 a .m it's getting cold now
23
so honestly the mornings are getting tougher
24
and depending on whether i eat breakfast at home
25
or not i try to leave the house by like 7
26
30 i just feel like i have to go somewhere to work in the mornings
27
if i just stay at home it just feels
28
so slow all right i just finished my breakfast i'm actually
29
about to go in here to work this is a hotel lobby i'm not going to say which one
30
but i've been coming here in the mornings just to work
31
i love the feeling of working out of a hotel lobby
32
when i'm traveling so i get to recreate
33
that feeling here in new york i literally just order a coffee
34
and i work out of there all morning
35
but yeah we got our early morning wake up we got our big breakfast in
36
and about to get a work session in
37
so we're off to a good start on the morning
38
but we got a lot more to do today
39
so i'm going to take you guys along share my formula for a really productive solid day all Let's do it
40
All right, just finished solid work session.
41
It's 1 p .m.
42
Now.
43
I'm so hungry and tired Got a lot of work done.
44
Still have more to do though.
45
I'm here with Vince
46
Vince from Taiwan
47
Vince and I have been working together a lot It's been really good honestly
48
Because I used to just work alone And working with someone is
49
so much better than working alone I feel like I'm pretty used to working alone
50
But I have lots of friends who also work for themselves
51
Or maybe work remote So it's just nice to like meet up with friends
52
And get work done together I feel like the co -worker experience Is something
53
that I never really got to experience So getting some work done with friends.
54
It's kind of the closest thing I have to
55
that anyways I'm gonna go home for my lunch break now since I've been going for like five hours, and I'm starving Yeah, I'm gonna go.
56
Are you gonna leave soon?
57
Oh, you are?
58
Okay.
59
Oh my god Alright, see you in a bit.
60
Bye All right, I got this package.
61
I think it's a tripod that I ordered I don't know why
62
but I keep breaking on my tripods all right this is
63
the new feature of the new tripod are you ready oh
64
sick it just opens up now you can put it down
65
it's kind of fun just do this that's pretty useful actually very quick
66
which is something I need all right for lunch today we
67
have a chicken shawarma bowl it's 800 calories got 38 grams of protein
68
and it's from this meal kit service
69
that I get once a week I like that it has the calories
70
and the macros listed here
71
so I can just type it into my nutrition app I
72
feel like calculating reading the macros on things is kind of hard, unless it's.. already written out for you obviously you can make an estimate
73
but i like knowing exactly what i'm eating also just really
74
convenient i guess to have meals ready especially during the week i feel like i don't really have
75
that much time to cook and yeah it tastes good so no complaints check it out yum i'm starving
76
all right i just had lunch that's my new poster by
77
the way i just put it up the other day i
78
feel like i can add some more like over here maybe
79
but i've just been busy i have not had the chance
80
to figure out what i want to do with the apartment like i need to buy some plants
81
or something but yeah anyways we've been working on a lot of other things
82
when it comes to work i'm mostly working on youtube stuff
83
by the way i'm trying to hire some editing help so
84
if you're an editor you should shoot me an email with
85
your portfolio i work on stuff for my brand copyright we actually just did a drop
86
which went really well there's like a few sizes left i think we're sold out of a bunch of sizes
87
but you can check it out if you want
88
and yeah i'm working on some like side project stuff i'm always working on something on the side actually
89
but right now i'm really excited about one of my side
90
projects since it's just a side project for now i'll just leave it at
91
that but another thing i've been working on is this excel sheet
92
that i'm staring at so this excel sheet
93
that I'm working on is essentially like a tracker of all my daily habits
94
so when I wake up in the morning I log what time I woke up my weight in the morning
95
and my sleep score from my aura ring the night before
96
and then at the end of the day I log my total calorie intake my protein intake
97
and the next morning I'll write down how much screen time I had the night before
98
and you have a few other things I like to track
99
but those are the big ones essentially what I built is
100
a dashboard where I can see how I'm doing each month
101
and I actually created this little fun ranking system based off of Valorant where depending on the category
102
and your current metric for it it'll put you in a rank
103
and it'll actually auto categorize it this is like somewhat of an interesting formula
104
and yeah it just auto updates
105
and it gives you a rank this is my weight rank
106
right now I'm like around 170 pounds got like screen time ranks my screen time is pretty bad at the moment.
107
So yeah, it's just interesting to see essentially how I rank up in all these different categories of life.
108
I feel like I've never accomplished something by accident without measuring it.
109
I feel like anytime I hit a goal that I actually set, it was because I was measuring it literally every single day.
110
There's just things that I care about and categories of life that I want to improve in.
111
So it just made sense to me that I should measure all of it.
112
It's just for me really, but I have been making improvements in my life in all areas
113
because I'm actually measuring it
114
and i also want to reach certain ranks i don't know
115
i think it's the gamer in me like i get really motivated by stuff like
116
that so now
117
that i have it set up it just like automatically updates everything i do have to log everything individually
118
but yeah it's not that bad the fun thing is like i set my own goals
119
and my own standards for what i think is really exceptional what i think is a radiant
120
which is like a high rank in valorant is different than what someone else might think
121
so i like that i set my own rules for what certain ranks are
122
and most importantly it shows me like how i'm actually living
123
my life like the real numbers the numbers don't lie i'm
124
gonna go for my afternoon snack now this is uh my
125
midday pre -workout meal i usually just load up on some
126
greek yogurt some granola some honey it's actually usually around like 600 calories
127
which is insane But I just load up on granola and yeah
128
There's like a five -minute period where the sun sets in New York
129
and the sun is just hitting all these buildings And
130
that time is literally right now like look at this look
131
at this right now perfect timing literally just caught the sunset
132
Empire seat building all lit up I feel like I always miss this
133
because I'm at the gym whenever the sun is setting.
134
I'm running late today though So that's why I caught it today.
135
Anyways, I'm gonna go to the gym now today.
136
We're hitting back I'm gonna try to film as much as possible, but we'll see because this is a giant camera, and it's kind of hard to get shots But I'll try my best.
137
All right
138
I got you amazed a lot of blue eggs.
139
She's cheating my pants in the condo A -D -D -6, I gotta get laid My jacket off white, don't mean that it's beige I clean up real nice, I don't got a maze I ain't been a night,
140
I'm still rockin' babe Live on paradise, I don't see the shade Know the back end, I'm back on the road Know the protect, paid off her show Drippin' is rough, mother's be long Hoes by the pair,
141
I'm never alone Sleep on the lyrics, come on, they go soft Drop eight in a two, and let it dissolve Bombin' my dinner, young girl on the ball Rock the whole concert and hopped in the floor I'm foreign's a toy,
142
I'm still a kid 10k this year for Coachella, it's lit Bro's got an umbrella so cover her weed.
143
Open some money, let them in a trench.
144
Light them all diamonds cause I won't revenge.
145
We stretch like a lime and I really got rage.
146
Some more fancy yellow diamonds in my pee.
147
Don't get it confused, I'm still banging the seat.
148
Okay, I just got back from the gym.
149
Had a really good workout.
150
I've been just doing like a classic push -pull leg routine
151
where I hit most body parts two times a week
152
and recently i've been trying to just focus on my form i think i'm doing like 50 of the weight
153
that i was doing before but it feels
154
so much better i feel it's
155
so much more i don't know maybe it was just like me ego lifting
156
or wanting to get the weight up each time i feel
157
like i was making decent progress before with bad form so now that i'm like locked in on form i'm excited
158
dieting and working out is definitely one of those things where you have one good workout
159
and i feel like it doesn't really mean anything
160
or you hit your calorie goals for one day and so what
161
but yeah i think seeing the progress as months go by
162
is like super sick i feel like i always thought about this stuff in like a shorter time scale
163
so sometimes i'd be like oh like in three months i want to look like this
164
but now i'm in the mindset of like what can i do in three years like three months is nothing
165
so yeah i'm proud of my progress i'm just trying to keep it up i'm gonna go shower
166
all right i made myself some dinner i literally just heated this up
167
but it's a burger with fries which is crazy i mean it legit just tastes like a real burger so good
168
i normally just throw something on the tv
169
when i'm eating dinner watch a youtube video or something
170
but today we're gonna unbox something instead kind of crazy unboxing something
171
while eating a burger okay I don't know why I got two
172
but I got this aura ring sizing kit
173
because I'm upgrading my aura ring I've been using my aura ring to track my sleep on
174
and off since like 2021
175
and I've been using the second generation one for a long time
176
so I'm getting a gen 4 now
177
Which is the latest one sleep is definitely very important to me I feel like
178
if I get eight hours I have an amazing day
179
if I have less than eight hours depending on how little
180
sleep I get My day could be really bad There's certain things I'm willing to sacrifice
181
But I feel like sleep is one of those things where it actually affects my day -to -day performance
182
So it's not something that I want to sacrifice I literally always check my score first thing in the morning, and I guess it's just like having a little report card for your sleep This is just a sizing kit
183
so I can try on different sizes might actually move up on size Sometimes in the morning.
184
I feel like my finger is swollen anyway speaking of sleep I need to sleep soon, so I'm going to finish this burger That's the thing is
185
if I want to sleep early I need to also eat early
186
and I also need to hit my calorie goals because
187
if I don't have my calorie goals after I eat dinner
188
I'm scrambling to try to fit in some extra food
189
and it gets too late and I end up eating late And whenever I eat right before I go to bed, I end up having terrible sleep.
190
Anyways, I hope this video is interesting.
191
I feel like this is really like my day -to -day routine.
192
A lot of times when I film these videos, I have interesting things going on.
193
So I point the camera at it.
194
But this is really like my average day.
195
And honestly, looking back on a week and feeling like I crushed every day that week.
196
And I did everything that I need to do each and every day.
197
That's kind of like the best feeling.
198
So that's what I chase nowadays.
199
I'm just trying to be consistent.
200
I know it's going to compound.
201
Not every day is perfect.
202
Some days are good, some days are bad.
203
But yeah, honestly, whenever I have a bad day, I just try to make the next one better.
204
Thank you guys for watching as always, and I will see you in the next one.

¿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.
