1
I heard this secret that successful people make decisions very quickly.
2
They say it's to create momentum,
3
build confidence, and preserve all that precious energy we spend on overthinking.
4
As a person with a backlog of to-do list tasks and a bad habit of overthinking,
5
I think it's time I tried this out for myself.
6
So this is the TV room.
7
I've wanted to DIY this room for a long time now.
8
It's where we watch movies and kind of hang out,
9
but it has looked the same for the past three years.
10
And when I first moved in,
11
I kind of just made it good enough.
12
But other than that, I'm not attached and I think that let me just zhuzh it up.
13
Okay.
14
This is the plan.
15
As you can see, it's the same living room.
16
It's several different ways.
17
We're going for calm, maybe a bit of Nancy Meyers in there.
18
Just a cozy space.
19
But the thing that I want to do the most is to add wall buildings.
20
I did the trim in my office myself.
21
At least I'm not completely new to DIY.
22
But at the same time, I'm a little nervous.
23
Because if I want to complete everything on my 20s bucket list.
24
Then I will basically need to get this done within less than a week.
25
So that's great.
26
I love that.
27
Save on some time.
28
We're going to clean this room up now empty every time
29
i want to start a new project i take forever to get things going
30
weighing out my options and making sure i'm fully prepared to start mentally physically
31
and emotionally i did my calculations
32
and we're gonna need a lot of wood of course it's good to think things through in most cases
33
but i think i do it a little too much my
34
parents on the other hand are the opposite i'll mention an idea i'm just starting to think about
35
and by the end of the day they'll already have started working on it.
36
I want to channel that energy.
37
Less overthinking, more doing.
38
This is what happens when it does not fit in the car.
39
And that is how you cut in the Home Depot parking lot.
40
Alright, so I pretty much got all my supplies.
41
I have level, I have wood that we got from the Home Depot,
42
and I also got this,
43
this is No More Nails.
44
And oh god, wait, how do you even use this?
45
Yeah, I'm just gonna start...
46
I'm just gonna start.
47
Oh my gosh.
48
The most important thing is that we're going to be able to make the wrong one.
49
Often the biggest reason we overthink our decisions is because we're afraid to make the wrong one.
50
But I think all it does is delay the inevitable.
51
Guys, I fucked up!
52
It's literally a fail.
53
At some point you still have to choose,
54
and by then you've only wasted time that could have been spent adjusting.
55
I'm the y- You keep looking It stays black Yeah,
56
I said I'm the y- But it don't fit In theory,
57
we know having a lot of options is a good thing.
58
We can customize our lives exactly how we want,
59
but in reality, too many options can get overwhelming.
60
Born it like a man,
61
born it like a brain Stories no one ever listened This is what you came from Instead of feeling excited by possibility,
62
we end up with choice paralysis,
63
trying to weigh out all the options against one another.
64
That's when the overthinking starts, and nothing gets done.
65
Okay, day two.
66
Um, day two of the DIY.
67
Oh my gosh.
68
Well, a couple of updates.
69
The first one is that this is taking way longer than I thought it would.
70
I was able to put up some wall moldings yesterday
71
and ended up working late into the night to try and get some progress done.
72
I did make a couple of mistakes.
73
I still have to do another wall and a half
74
and then I have to prime them and then I also have to paint this whole room.
75
Even when I think that something will take X amount of time,
76
it literally takes like every single time and takes more than that.
77
What am I doing wrong?
78
I don't know.
79
I don't know.
80
I always thought people who moved fast were just extremely confident,
81
they know it all, and wondered if they just got a memo that I didn't.
82
When we overthink, we think we're doing ourselves a favor,
83
minimizing mistakes and feeling as prepared as we possibly can.
84
We take our time, think it through,
85
and still, somehow, we could choose wrong.
86
But I realize it's more about being able to just run with it,
87
Adapting, pivoting, learning as you go,
88
and trusting you'll figure things out,
89
whatever the outcome will be.
90
Sometimes I can feel like this cycle,
91
where I'm going as fast as I can and it's still not enough.
92
It's frustrating, but those are the moments that teach you how to adjust,
93
how to move smarter instead of just faster.
94
Over time, those small, quick choices compound into momentum,
95
and that's the difference between staying stuck and growth.
96
Alright, so this is what we're working with.
97
So, you can just actually go and start right here.
98
Rank gets deeper Soon enough I'm gonna meet my reaper Is this all we get?
99
A couple cheap laughs in a deep regret Baby,
100
you are just a little thing I'm lost to Telling of the pain I've caused you Giving it to someone brand new
101
Okay, our progress, all the moldings are up on the wall Now,
102
we just have to paint.
103
We're finally painting today.
104
We're done with all these moldings.
105
The most time consuming thing was priming and caulking everything and just the prep.
106
The prep in general just takes so long.
107
We're finally ready to paint.
108
And let's just get it done.
109
Koryu has arrived.
110
We're getting put to work.
111
We'll start with this.
112
It's too cold.
113
It's great.
114
Thanks.
115
Oh yes.
116
Hold on.
117
Cause I'm just alone, I'm just the one thing I've ever wanted After many quick decisions this week,
118
I can confidently say successful people might just be onto something With the self-imposed timeline,
119
I didn't even have time to question anything It was just one thing after another
120
But I'll also say it takes a hundred times more effort The truth is,
121
decisions aren't permanent, but we'll take something from it and change course if we need to.
122
And the best thing about deciding quickly is that you can figure all of that out faster too.
123
Okay guys, we did it.
124
I literally can't believe we did this transformation.
125
Near the end, I barely documented,
126
I was just trying to finish it.
127
The stairs literally sent me into psychosis,
128
but we got through it.
129
Aria and my parents helped me out
130
and I literally could not have done this in the time frame that I did without them.
131
So shout out to them because I would have still been working on this right now.
132
I was able to use majority of the furniture I already had or swap in some pieces.
133
The only thing that changed was the couch.
134
I know the green couch is iconic,
135
but it honestly was not comfortable.
136
Purely aesthetics.
137
So now this feels more like a room you want to watch movies in.
138
There's still a lot of things that I want to add like curate more artwork on the walls
139
Maybe even some wallpaper who knows?
140
I'm proud how it turned out and Yeah That was nuts
141
Honestly for wanting to do this for the past two and a half years and getting it done
142
Within less than two weeks.
143
I'm kind of impressed.
144
I don't know how to feel about that,
145
but I am impressed nonetheless first task done
146
So glad that's done, right?
147
Right?
148
Like I was saying, you deserve a break.
149
Okay, we've worked hard, you worked hard,
150
you did the thing, just take a break, right?
151
What's this?
152
Oh no. No, no. No. We're not.
153
No. Absolutely not.

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.
