1
This was me in 2019.
2
But much more interestingly, this was my calendar in 2019.
3
At the time, I was working five part -time jobs and studying two and a half degrees at once.
4
And actually, it was quite a blissful time before I even knew that this productivity video sphere even existed.
5
So all of the tips and techniques
6
that I was using to manage my time just were coming through myself and through a lot actually of trial and error.
7
And now, a few years later, I feel much more read on the topic and very interestingly I found
8
that a lot of the tips and formulas
9
that I had developed to manage my own schedule were very similar to those
10
that the literature had found and that experts have found.
11
So today I thought it would be quite interesting to walk you through exactly how I plan
12
and schedule my calendar from the bottom up for a very very busy week and showing you all of the rules, the schedules, the formulas and the systems
13
that I create to kind of make the ideal week happen for me in a way.
14
These are both evidence -based tips and tips just based on my experience but hopefully they will be helpful to you.
15
Before we get started, little side note, the ideal calendar in my opinion is having no calendar at all
16
but if you are forced to have one through your life circumstances like me, hopefully some of the tips in this video might help.
17
But having said that, don't be too rigid with these structures.
18
I fully believe that the less structures there are the better.
19
But okay, let's get started.
20
So the first thing I will do
21
when building an effective calendar is be aware of my three -part split for the day.
22
This is based on the fact that throughout the day two things are guaranteed to be happening.
23
Number one is that my energy levels will fall throughout the day
24
and the second thing is that the power of temptation will increase throughout the day
25
and what I mean by the power of temptation is what
26
Dan Ariely described as the ability to continuously say no to things diminishes throughout the day as we are doing this.
27
The way that I like to visualize this is having this huge pot of ability to resist temptation
28
and every morning I start out with a fresh pot and what this means is I might go to make breakfast, I'm going to make something healthy even though I might want a donut
29
but I'll say no I'm not going to do this, I'm going to have a good healthy day.
30
But as I continuously do this throughout the day, the ability to resist things that I actually want to do becomes less
31
and less and less and this pot becomes smaller and smaller and smaller.
32
And what happens by the end of the night, for example, you might recognize this if you've been restricting food throughout the day, you'll have a midnight snack by completely raiding the fridge.
33
So I keep in mind that I'm going to have less energy throughout the day
34
and things are going to get more and more tempting throughout the day
35
so it's going to be much harder for me to resist
36
things as the day progresses keeping these two things in mind
37
every single day of my week from a macro standpoint gets divided into three main parts
38
so the first part of every single day is reserved for activities
39
that are high energy and high temptation these are the tasks
40
that require a lot of brain power or physical power
41
and also that i can be very easily tempted to do something else
42
so tempted to leave things that i'm not enjoying
43
that much these might be studying for an exam this might be doing a task for work which is not particularly fun.
44
This might be a huge project that I've just been procrastinating on for
45
so long because it's not the ideal way that I want to spend my time.
46
So all of the things
47
which I don't particularly love to do go into this first part of my day
48
because this is the part where I am the strictest and the part where I have the most energy.
49
The second part of the day is reserved activities
50
which are high energy because I'm still buzzing at this point and also activities that require a little less resistance to do.
51
So this might be going to the gym for example
52
because I actually enjoy doing this this might be hanging out with friends
53
because I really enjoy doing this or fun activities or fun projects
54
or the fun parts of studying that I would like to engage in
55
so these go into the second part of my day
56
and the last part of my day is where I have the lowest energy
57
and the highest ability to be tempted by other tasks
58
so this is where procrastination is very easy
59
so keeping this in mind I'm not going to leave like this huge work project
60
which I really don't want to do for the last thing at night
61
because it's almost guaranteed I'm just going to get in bed and think, well, I'll do it tomorrow.
62
So there's no point in scheduling anything major or not fun for this part of the day.
63
This is for my personal creative tasks.
64
This is for things that I would actually like to spend my time on that don't particularly require huge amounts of energy.
65
These will go into the last part of my day.
66
So in this way, I keep this rule in mind
67
and I have like this invisible three -part division of my calendar every time that I'm booking in tasks.
68
So if I have to do something or if I have to work for something in the week, the first question I will ask myself is how likely am I to not want to do this task
69
and how much energy will this take?
70
So depending on these three factors it will either go into any part of my day.
71
The second rule is the mission impossible rule
72
and this was a new one for me
73
because I'm definitely the sort of person who
74
if I put something on my to -do list I want to and I physically need to get it done.
75
I will not go to sleep until I've ticked everything off and this used to be my behavior in the past.
76
However I've realized that this is not only a bit problematic, I'm sure you can see why, but also it's not ideal even for the tasks
77
that i am doing this very interesting study in 1927 done
78
by z zegnark zignark basically said our brains tend to stay occupied with a task until this task is completed
79
and what this means is if you start something
80
but you haven't finished it there will be a part of your brain that's continuously focusing on
81
that task and you can use this to your advantage
82
if there is a huge project like for example a essay
83
that i want to write or if you want to write a book
84
or if you want to do something really really big that takes a lot of time
85
it's really good to put a time in your calendar just to remind yourself that this project exists.
86
So for example, even though I don't write my newsletter strictly every single week, I do have a reminder in my calendar every week for it.
87
Because what that does is throughout the week, as I look at my calendar and I see the reminder of, oh, I need to write a newsletter, it will open up this task in my brain.
88
And even though I'm not consciously thinking about it, randomly throughout the day as I'm working or as I'm in the shower, it might just pop into my mind again and I'll go, oh, what should I do for my newsletter?
89
And equally, if there's something huge that, for example, I want to start a course, I want to do something big that I don't have a strict deadline for, but it's a huge task,
90
I'm going to just put this random deadlines in my calendar just to remind myself
91
that the task exists and to open this in my mind.
92
Getting comfortable with not accomplishing tasks and using a calendar more as an inspiration
93
and a guide as to what I want to spend my life with tends to be really, really helpful.
94
And I found that going from not putting things in my calendar, if I'm afraid that I won't complete them because it will really bother me, to actually putting them in my calendar, knowing that this is a mission impossible,
95
that I'm not actually going to do this much more helpful
96
because I end up doing those things much more if I put them in my calendar anyways.
97
The mission impossible is also something that I keep in mind when I'm doing a task anyway.
98
In a study done by Fishnark it found that
99
if you are continuously doing things that you don't enjoy
100
or forcing yourself to do work
101
when you're finding it unenjoyable it can lead in the long term to procrastination or failure on this tasks.
102
So I keep this in mind a lot once something is too painful or not fun or not enjoyable I just stop.
103
I used to be very good
104
and very proud of myself for overriding my stop stop stop in my mind now I'm like no
105
if I'm not enjoying this we're done we're taking a break we're moving on I don't care
106
that I've blotted out in my calendar
107
if it's not good enough then I'm going to find time
108
for it at a productive time later in the day
109
or the week but not overriding the signals of your brain going
110
that I must do this because I thought I needed to is I found in the long term much more healthier.
111
Next rule is the PR rule and I call it this
112
because both Parkinson and Roosevelt come to the same conclusion
113
and it basically just states that work expands to fill the time that you allocate to it.
114
So it's quite a well -known rule but I use it in a bit of a different way.
115
So what this basically means is if I say
116
that I'm going to write my essay in three weeks
117
or I'm going to write my essay in five months or I'm going to write my essay in three days, very often the quality of the work is not going to be too different in these three different forms.
118
So if you give yourself a very very strict
119
and ridiculous deadline sometimes you will end up doing a lot more than you expected.
120
So this is one way around it.
121
If you have a huge task, sometimes
122
if I have to do something like create a sales page
123
I will give myself two hours to do it in my calendar
124
and I'm going to put myself in the mindset of I'm forced to do this now in this time only
125
and then I will get
126
so much more done rather than booking out a 10 hour shift for one day
127
and going like oh I'm just going to do this slowly
128
and get lunch and then do this again which I mean is fine
129
but I get a lot less done even in 10 hours
130
than I get with a very intentional two hour stint
131
and then just having fun for the rest of the time so this tends to work very well for me.
132
Another thing that I do around the PR role is that I will not book work in my calendar.
133
I will only book the finished product in my calendar.
134
So what I mean, for example, is that if I have to film this video, there's a lot of steps that go into it.
135
So I have to research, I have to think of title, I need to think of thumbnail, I need to think and edit the hook, I need to actually script the whole thing, I need to do the research on the studies, I need to put it together,
136
I need to actually sit down and film it, I need to export it, edit it, add the extra layers of editing, which takes so long, and then export it, and then make it ready, and then put the descriptions and all that stuff
137
if I had to book all of these different events in my calendar it's almost guaranteed
138
that I'm just not going to do some of them so
139
if I just have this slot in my calendar for edit this video I might come to
140
that time and be like oh I can do this later it doesn't matter
141
so I put none of this in my calendar the only thing I will put is let's say
142
that the video is due to be published on Tuesday on
143
Tuesday I'll put a day event of saying publish the video on calendar scheduling
144
and what this does is that it gives me full freedom
145
but also a lot of forced deadline to get this thing done by then.
146
So I'm telling myself, I don't care when you do this.
147
I don't care when you find the time, like just do it whenever, however fast or slowly you want to do it.
148
I just know that it needs to be done by this time.
149
And that puts me under a lot more kind of positive pressure to do it
150
and gives me a lot more freedom rather than allocating all of these slots in the calendar, which just fill up and clog up the whole thing.
151
And also because they're such small insignificant tasks, I can very easily go, oh, I can do this edit when I do the export, or I can do this thing when I do that thing later and end up doing nothing.
152
So giving yourself full freedom with very strict finish only deadlines I think is a great way to get more things done.
153
The next rule is a morning glory rule and I really really like this because this is from Jigson Mihaly.
154
I'm so sorry I've tried this so many times before
155
but basically what he did was that he stated that people
156
that were very creative and very effective in their lives always started their day with something
157
that they were looking forward to even something tiny.
158
It can be like buying your favorite coffee every morning
159
or it can be making yourself your favorite breakfast
160
or calling a loved one
161
or just having five minutes to yourself outside in the sun drinking your tea in the morning
162
so it can be anything really really small but having something
163
that doesn't necessarily need to go in your calendar
164
but can go in your mind for what you want to
165
do the next morning will make you enjoy your day a lot more
166
and he says
167
if you get into the habits of this your day will eventually be filled by things
168
that you are only looking forward to
169
so I take this rule very much to heart every morning I plan something
170
that I will enjoy so that's usually a slow breakfast by myself for me but whatever it is, I know that there is going to be planning around this time, this sacred time in the morning.
171
That might even be 15 minutes or five minutes, but there is this time, so anything that I will start to schedule in will be after this morning time for myself.
172
Next is the fun factor, and this is my favourite part of the calendar.
173
It's something that I've only started doing very recently.
174
I think Ali mentions the fun factor, and I'm not sure what he means by it, but I thought it was very appropriate to describe this.
175
There's this quote by Daniel Priestley that says that good nature is the result of ease and security, not a life of arduous struggle.
176
So some struggle cannot be avoided but the struggles
177
that we can avoid and the self -imposed kind of work
178
that we need to do might actually be affecting us negatively in the long term
179
so I've made it a rule to force myself to do activities
180
that are fun either by myself or with other people every single week and I'm very very aware of this.
181
I can be the sort of person who can forget to socialize
182
or can forget to interact with people quite easily sometimes especially
183
when I get very very kind of caught up in work
184
or I might just paint for days in a row and completely forget to interact with even my flatmate.
185
So I have to force myself to do this.
186
So in my calendar I will book, for example, I'm going to go to a gallery by myself
187
or I'm going to have dinner with friends
188
or I'm going to go to the movie by myself
189
or the movies with someone else or I'm going to have a nice time with someone.
190
Those will be physically blocked into my calendar and as I have an overview of my calendar every week I will go, okay, there's a healthy balance here of social activity.
191
It will usually have a different colour to the rest of the things
192
that I am booking in
193
but it tends to be my favorite part every time I
194
look at my calendar it looks happy it looks excited
195
and also it kind of means
196
that it's not just work in there I don't tend to
197
hate it it's not like this oh this terrible thing
198
that dictates my life
199
and just schedules all my work things it's kind of my life on a screen in a positive way
200
because I can organize it and put in whatever I want
201
so do not forget the fun factor even
202
if it's just taking time every evening for yourself
203
but I quite am a huge fan of spending time with other people
204
so hosting a kind of board games night at your house or someone else's house a dinner, a dinner by yourself outside, anything can be done.
205
So I would really recommend not forgetting the fun factor in your calendar scheduling.
206
Lastly, we go into strategic over planning and Atul Gawande said that not only are we easily distracted by mundane thoughts,
207
but we also routinely forget small but important things when we don't externalise them.
208
So it's quite important to take all our things
209
that we want to do and the things that we are planning to do and kind of write them down, either as a to -do list somewhere.
210
I like just pulling up my calendar and finding a slot somewhere to think about something or to do something, a very easy way to organize my life.
211
I no longer keep to -do lists actually, I just put everything in my calendar when I want it to be done
212
or even if it's like four weeks down the line, get back in touch with this person, even if it doesn't happen, when it comes up four weeks later I can go oh
213
like in a week would be a good time to meet this person.
214
So it's quite good to have these slots in there
215
and use your calendar to kind of accompany you in life rather than just these strictly booked things.
216
And don't be afraid to overbook.
217
It kind of relieves your brain of having to memorize so many things and keep so many things stored.
218
And also, it just helps you kind of have things in place.
219
And once they're there, it's actually that much more likely to do them.
220
If you're also a fan of optimizing things for your brain or better understanding it at all, a brilliant documentary that I would recommend is The Curious Brain on CuriosityStream,
221
which I'm very kindly sponsoring this video this is a very cool documentary series
222
that kind of goes into different aspects of how our brain works how it organizes information
223
and thought how it interacts in society
224
and it's been really really informative even as someone who spends a lot of time reading
225
and thinking about my mind there's been so much that i've learned
226
and restructured through this documentary so i would really recommend it as a wonderful watch
227
if you want to check out who esti stream you also get access to nebula
228
which is a streaming platform where a lot of educational creators put our videos together
229
so you get an ad -free experience of all of these videos
230
and much more nebula specials which are very informative educational
231
and interesting the yodi subscription for both of these together is literally the price of a takeaway
232
and it will be linked in my description you will have a discount to get access to those
233
if you want to join me on nebula but otherwise thank you
234
so much if you made it
235
so far i hope you have a wonderful rest of your day be kind to yourself
236
and others and do everything you think thanks bye

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
