Hey guys, it's Syd, and welcome back.

Hola a todos, soy Syd, y bienvenidos de nuevo.

I love Sundays.

Me encantan los domingos.

I've always loved Sundays.

Siempre me han encantado los domingos.

In my mind, Sundays are supposed to be the day of the week where you relax, you recharge, kind of just like get ready for the week.

En mi opinión, los domingos deberían ser el día de la semana en el que uno se relaja, recarga energías, como si se preparara para la semana.

And I recently realized I don't really do that anymore.

Y hace poco me di cuenta de que ya no hago eso.

Like I try to go through the motions, but i still really feel like distracted and i realized it's

Como si intentara seguir los pasos, pero todavía me siento muy distraído y me di cuenta de que es

because of my phone

por mi teléfono

and some of you guys know i bought a little brick recently it's this little gray thing

y algunos de ustedes saben que compré un pequeño ladrillo hace poco, es esta cosita gris.

and it locks you out of social media

y te impide el acceso a las redes sociales.

so last night i was like you know what i'm gonna do a no scroll sunday

Así que anoche pensé: ¿sabes qué voy a hacer? Un domingo sin desplazamiento.

and brick my phone so i can't use social media

y bloquear mi teléfono para que no pueda usar las redes sociales

and ideally hopefully be more present

y, idealmente, con suerte, estar más presente.

and in the moment before i start with my reset -esque

y en el momento antes de empezar con mi reinicio -esque

activities i need coffee i actually do guys like i was up very late unfortunately.

actividades necesito café de hecho chicos como yo estuve despierto hasta muy tarde desafortunadamente.

I think the big part of the reason I usually scroll in public is because I feel awkward doing nothing.

Creo que la principal razón por la que suelo navegar por internet en público es porque me siento incómodo sin hacer nada.

Like I feel like everyone else is occupied right now and I'm just while I am filming myself.

Siento que todos los demás están ocupados ahora mismo y yo estoy aquí mientras me filmo a mí mismo.

I brought my little notebook to write down my to -do list kind of old -fashioned style on pen and paper.

Traje mi libretita para anotar mi lista de tareas pendientes a la antigua usanza, con lápiz y papel.

I don't really have a big to -do list on Sundays

En realidad no tengo una larga lista de cosas que hacer los domingos.

but you know just things that I like to do to reset.

pero ya sabes, son cosas que me gusta hacer para desconectar.

Feels like I have so much more time in my day already just sitting here not scrolling.

Siento que tengo mucho más tiempo libre en mi día con solo estar aquí sentada sin navegar por internet.

I feel so much less overwhelmed.

Me siento mucho menos agobiada.

I'm realizing I can only tolerate so much caffeine these days, so I decided to come home and offset the coffee I just drank with non -caffeinated tea.

Me estoy dando cuenta de que últimamente solo puedo tolerar cierta cantidad de cafeína, así que decidí volver a casa y compensar el café que acabo de tomar con un té sin cafeína.

I don't think it works like that, to be honest.

Sinceramente, no creo que funcione así.

Some of you guys know this, but the past couple years I haven't been able to get my nails done at the nail salon

Algunos de ustedes ya lo saben, pero en los últimos dos años no he podido ir al salón de manicura.

because I developed an allergy.

porque desarrollé una alergia.

It has been so unfortunate because I used to love getting gel.

Ha sido una lástima porque antes me encantaba usar gel.

I even posted about it on TikTok and I was like, please help me someone because I want to do my nails

Incluso publiqué algo al respecto en TikTok y dije: "Por favor, que alguien me ayude porque quiero hacerme las uñas".

and have them look nice

y que se vean bien

but i can't get them done anymore i got a lot

pero ya no puedo hacer que me los hagan, tengo muchos.

of comments suggesting the manicurist to use as an alternative to

de comentarios que sugieren que la manicurista utilice como alternativa a

getting my gel nails done i've been beginning to find this

a bit therapeutic like i kind of enjoy my nail time now to myself

guys look at my nails they look

so good i can't even express how happy this makes me

after i thought i was done for good i thought i couldn't do my nails anymore

and now i think i need to clean my sheets

which is what I've been

dreading the most

I used

to think my least favorite chore was cleaning my toilet

but then as I got older I realized it's actually just putting a fitted sheet on my bed.

Not to be dramatic but it is like the worst thing ever and I think I'd rather do anything else.

But on the other hand I do love going to bed with freshly washed sheets.

Like there's nothing better.

I also made the switch about two years ago from white colored sheets to beige colored sheets.

The reason being my self tan.

You don't want to see what my sheets looked like.

If you self tan you know um it's kind of a

horrifying sight to have yourself tanner stained all over your white bed sheets

so this kind of solves the problem at least it's invisible

it is a bit embarrassing how long this takes me it's like a jigsaw puzzle

so i do think i spoke too soon i think my least favorite thing is actually not the fitted sheet

but putting on the duvet cover.

This takes me about 30 minutes, so I'm just going to speed this up for everybody.

Bed is done.

I can't wait to go to sleep in like eight hours, but I still have my entire laundry basket of clothes to folds.

I've always associated my Sundays with doing laundry and cleaning.

My room is actually pretty bad, okay?

I'm not even going to sugarcoat this for you all.

I'll just show you the proof.

I mean, I guess it could be worse.

Every 10 minutes, I keep grabbing my phone to go on it, and then I just realize there's nothing for me to do on it today.

It is like muscle memory.

Like, I don't even realize that I'm going to grab my phone until I'm trying to hit Instagram, and I realize.. blocked.

I'm trying to just be present and like not even listen to music

while cleaning because I feel like I don't need to always be stimulated.

Why do I always feel the need to have my brain occupied?

Probably TikTok is the cause of this

but I honestly feel like I'm the most creative and come up with my best ideas when I am like bored.

Literally just like cleaning doing absolutely nothing like not listening to a podcast, not listening to music, not texting or like being on my phone that's like

when i think of my like i don't know best video ideas

or my best thoughts long story short i'm gonna stop procrastinating and finish cleaning my room in silence

i never really just do one thing at a time anymore

if i'm cleaning i'll have a youtube video playing or

if i'm eating i'm watching something

if i'm in line at a coffee shop i'm probably scrolling on instagram

so one thing i really liked about today is kind of

just like letting the boring things be boring like i'm cleaning my apartment

and that's it nothing else is happening once i kind of get past

that stage of the initial urge to pick up my phone it starts to feel really peaceful

and i kind of feel less mentally tired i don't know

if that's just like the placebo effect but i really do feel

that way on the days that i spend less time on my phone

but i really did get in here i did a great

deep clean there's like no better feeling than a deep clean

and this is coming from a girl who used to be a wreck okay guys i used to be

so messy my mom made dedicated posts on her instagram in 2014 of the messes

that i would leave behind so you know i'm a changed woman i guess

nothing quite boosts my mood like cleaning my room

because i feel like i am the happiest person in the world i look

so good it's honestly been kind of messy for like a month i find

that my room kind of correlates with my mental state like my room's messy i'm usually not doing as well

or like not as happy

so now things are looking up for me guys also i put this note on my mirror i don't know

if you guys even saw this in the montage, but when I was at a coffee shop the other day, I met one of you guys who gave me this little note filled with video ideas.

We were chatting for a while.

She came up to me and she's like, I love your videos.

And honestly, like one of the first things I ask you guys when you say that to me is like, what videos should I be making?

And I just love asking you guys for ideas when I see you because you guys really have like the best ideas.

100

It was so sweet and so thoughtful

101

so i am gonna make sure i use this hence why

102

it's on my mirror my urges to go on my phone are slowly increasing throughout the day

103

so i think i'm just gonna go for a walk that's

104

like what i might go to whenever i don't know what to do is i just go for a walk

105

i feel like there's actually a pretty big difference between being alone

106

and being alone with your thoughts you guys know how important it is for me to like do things alone

107

and enjoy my own company

108

but I don't know this is kind of making me realize being without my phone how even

109

if I am alone I'm usually scrolling

110

and still like consuming other people's lives you know like seeing what they're doing on their day on Instagram

111

or listening to a podcast like I'm never really truly alone on those days

112

that I still have social media so this has been kind of nice

113

and refreshing and kind of awkward to be honest but I think it's good for me okay guys it's dinner time

114

tonight we're following olivia's recipe

115

so no pressure the pressure's on we're gonna do smash burgers i tried this the other day

116

and i set off a fire alarm so yeah i came home

117

and there was like smoke there was like a fire well that's a lot of onion oh my gosh that's

118

so much onion yeah they shrink a lot like i did one onion last time and i I ate it all.

119

You ate a whole onion?

120

Um, no. When it's caramelized, it shrinks so much.

121

I don't know, is that a lot to consume, like a whole onion?

122

Maybe it's not, maybe I'm like not realizing.

123

Maybe it is.

124

Maybe I'm not conceptualizing like an onion.

125

I need to be more self -aware of my onion consumption.

126

Really niche problem, eating too much onion.

127

Wash and chop lettuce would be the first thing.

128

Okay.

129

Oh, it's a very naughty.

130

okay tutorial with olivia we're gonna start with one of these really thin patties

131

and then you fold it like a little taco

132

and then we come over here okay and we'll start with some sauce

133

or dupe sauce it's really good i'm gonna add a lot

134

no it's never too much it's never too much sauce caramelized

135

onions um slightly burnt a whole onion per person yes mandatory uh by the way

136

and then some lettuce there we have it wow it looks

137

so good okay even better well let's hope

138

so well we're gonna find out okay

139

so don't mind this crazy setup it looks like we're about to review this

140

but actually we are but we're gonna do

141

that um olivia burned her finger so i did thoughts

142

and prayers please yes it's like the tiniest burn ever taste this make sure it's like your second bite

143

because the patty is pretty small so you won't get it in the first bite i'm like tortilla

144

cheers to the second bite

145

it's good so far i had onion like fly out of my mouth in that clip like it was like

146

the sauce is

147

so good i think the tortilla should have been like cooked a bit more i'm sorry wait no no

148

but i think it's the i don't think it's you i

149

think it's the actual tortilla type you know what i'm saying

150

i don't think it cooks very well clearly definitely i can see your onion thing now

151

because like this doesn't feel like a lot of onion this

152

is like would love this every night like really new meal

153

really now we can have a new meal our rotation is

154

like kind of getting big we like needed something new we'll

155

have like the same dinner every day for a month i'm not kidding right like people think we're joking

156

but it's not a joke it's real we had to do

157

it we had to we're getting way too predictable way too predictable we got to like shake it up

158

and like really just like surprise people can't let anybody know

159

what's coming hey guys it's my favorite part of the day

160

i'm in bed i can't wait to go to sleep like

161

i don't i like really look forward to just getting in my bed in the evening

162

and closing my eyes

163

and sleeping it's like kind of sad anyways thanks for hanging

164

out with me i had such a nice sunday i hope you guys also enjoyed

165

and i also hope

166

that you take this as some inspo to maybe like do

167

your own no scroll sunday i saw it originally i think on tiktok

168

that people were doing it and i've been meaning to do it for a

169

while and at some point i just had to tell myself okay i'm gonna do it for a sunday

170

and i'm really glad that i did i felt like i was able to have like

171

so much more time in the day than usual

172

because i wasn't feeling it just mindlessly scrolling

173

and i always have the least amount of stress on the days

174

when i don't have social media i could go on

175

and on forever but i hope it inspires as like one person, maybe.

176

¿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.
