Hello and welcome back to the channel.
2
Unless you're new, then welcome.
3
In today's vlog, I'm basically going to be productivity maxing and you're coming with me.
4
Life lately has been feeling like a lot of neglected tasks in the back of my mind
5
and so today is all about getting as much done as I can
6
and clearing my brain of things that have been procrastinated.
7
One big thing and one great piece of news.
8
If you might remember, my coffee machine broke.
9
It completely pooped itself and my grinder stopped working.
10
My espresso machine was out of commission for a while and I finally took care of it and it's back.
11
It's back.
12
She was under warranty and I was able to get her hatched up.
13
I had to ship it out and they sent it back all fixed up.
14
I have not tried to use it yet so it should work
15
but we're going to find out together and hopefully have some delicious coffee to start the day.
16
Actually before coffee I'm going to take a moment to just scan my apartment right now
17
and take mental notes of everything that I would like to get done today.
18
This is going to be a moment of vulnerability okay because it's it's it looks pretty bad in here.
19
I'm just going to keep it real because we're we're tackling this together today without further ado.
20
That's all recycling.
21
I need to take all those boxes down.
22
I got back from a trip three days ago and my suitcase has just been on the floor.
23
I have like a lot of hobbies
24
and nowhere to really put the things for my hobbies so I have a pile of hobby stuff on the ground.
25
We've got my shin pads, my Muay Thai gloves, running shoes in the gym bag, dive bag, beach bag.
26
Ideally I would like to have a proper place for these things doll is mad at me
27
because it's so messy in here she's like what the crap counter space is completely cooked right now
28
because i got a crock pot
29
and i also brought my ninja creamy machine out i've been really fixated on protein ice cream it's been amazing
30
but it has really cluttered the kitchen i don't need all these shoes a lot of the time
31
when i work with people companies whatever sponsored content.
32
I've accumulated so many white shoes because they always gift plain white shoes.
33
I guess they look good on camera.
34
So I just have an absurd unnecessary amount of white shoes.
35
A big chunk of what I want to do today is bring a lot of things to be donated.
36
Shoes, clothes, supplements even.
37
I think for supplements I'm just going to give them to friends and family.
38
That's what I tend to do typically.
39
But I don't have a lot of friends.
40
I'm running out of friends to give them to.
41
I want to start just dropping it off at the gym you think people will take it
42
or is that suspicious free supplements
43
Thank you.
44
Not my best shot of espresso, but it's probably going to take a couple days for the grind size to get calibrated.
45
I'm just happy that it works again.
46
Just going to enjoy this and get started on breakfast.
47
First order of business, things that can go out, must go out.
48
Up next is going to be supplements.
49
Now this is going to look pretty ridiculous.
50
There's going to be a lot of supplements.
51
Let's just get started.
52
I'm taking a brief intermission from the cleaning things to do a little bit of computer work.
53
I don't always have a lot to do on my computer as a content creator.
54
It's kind of just like filming and editing.
55
but as of recently I decided
56
that I wanted to have more management with my partnerships and
57
that whole side of being a content creator
58
because you can have a management team or a manager
59
that can be really helpful but I kind of just realized that I think it's something I'm definitely capable of doing myself.
60
I'm just that kind of person that if I can do something myself I want to do it myself
61
and I think there's a lot I can learn from it.
62
So it's kind of what I'm doing right now.
63
It's a learning process but very doable and it feels very empowering.
64
To be honest I don't really know what I'm doing.
65
I'm kind of just going for it.
66
Wish me luck on my business endeavors.
67
We are making some progress.
68
These are all donation items.
69
It's mostly a lot of clothes and kind of a ridiculous amount of shoes
70
and then I packed up a couple bags of supplements for my friends
71
and I'm kind of sweating because it's hot
72
and I'm about to start sweating more
73
because I got to carry all this down to my car
74
which is actually a truck now
75
if you don't already know I have a truck I do
76
and that's gonna be very helpful in getting all this stuff to the donation center today.
77
Loaded up.
78
This is my truck by the way.
79
Isn't she purdy? So purdy.
80
I somehow got like a second wind which is great because the day doesn't end with chores.
81
I'm also hitting legs tonight.
82
I'm going to warm up some leftover pot roast.
83
This is going to be delicious.
84
Okay, this doesn't look super appetizing on camera, but it smells and tastes delicious.
85
This is going to be my dessert.
86
Creatine fizz sticks.
87
It's like a pixie stick, but it's creatine, and it's freaking genius and delicious.
88
I do not have a discount code and this is not sponsored.
89
Maybe one day it will be.
90
Keep an eye out.
91
Speaking it into existence.
92
I did not get to everything today but I made some good progress.
93
The last thing I'm going to do is vacuum before I head out.
94
This is the gym fit Leg day fit We're gonna crush it I've been itching for movement Like all day
95
So it's gonna feel so good To move some weights
96
Today's leg day is gonna be glute focused and I'm pretty excited about it because my gym just got a smith machine.
97
I feel like I was missing out on a lot of glute exercises
98
because there's so many good ones on the smith machine
99
so I've just been like smith maxing
100
but I'm also getting here at like a really busy time
101
of the day it's kind of like evening rush right now
102
we'll see how it is regardless we're gonna get a good lift let's get to it
103
I'm going to get
104
off my head.
105
Get off my you
106
I'm going to keep it with you
107
I just want to spend the whole night Waking up as bad as you Can we do it every night, every night?
108
I'm going to keep it with you
109
okay guys i hope you can forgive me but my camera has died
110
so the rest of this vlog is going to be film on my phone.
111
It's dinner time.
112
I stopped at the grocery store to get some things.
113
Chicken breast, broccolini, and sweet potato, which is already going because that takes the longest.
114
I recently learned how to make chicken better.
115
I love chicken, so I'll kind of eat it even if it's like super dry, but I have a few tips to make it less dry.
116
Step number one is going to be to beat this Chicken that way.
117
It's like an even thickness and it cooks more evenly just makes it more better
118
Then season both sides Pan is ready for oil
119
and oil is ready for chicken oh it smells so good
120
The yummiest and easiest way to cook your vegetables is to throw them in the pan that you cooked your meat.
121
There's oil left over and there's flavor in there.
122
chicken came out so juicy and beautiful oh my goodness
123
bon appetit all right we're gonna have some dinner
124
and sign off for the night i hope you enjoyed this productive day in my life.
125
Thank you for watching.
126
Don't forget to live, laugh, and love, and I'll see you in the next video.
127
Bye!
Why This Video Is Perfect for Learning English with Videos
This vlog is a goldmine for English learners—its casual, conversational tone mirrors real-life speech, making it ideal for practicing shadowing (repeating phrases aloud to mimic rhythm and pronunciation). The speaker uses everyday vocabulary, filler words ("basically," "okay"), and natural pauses, which helps you learn how to sound fluent, not scripted. Plus, the mix of tasks (cleaning, cooking, troubleshooting) introduces practical phrases you can use in your own life. It’s like getting a peek into a native speaker’s day while building your language skills!
Breaking Down Natural Speech: 3 Key Phrases
Let’s look at why the dialogue sounds so authentic:
- "It completely pooped itself": This playful, informal phrase for "broke down" shows how native speakers use vivid language in casual settings. Learning such expressions helps you connect with others more naturally.
- "Counter space is completely cooked right now": "Cooked" here means "messy" or "unusable"—a great example of slang that adds color to speech. Notice how the speaker shortens "is" to "’s" ("counter space’s") for a relaxed flow.
- "I’m just going to keep it real": This common phrase signals honesty, making the conversation feel relatable. Mimicking such phrases helps you sound more confident in everyday chats.
Your 5-Minute Shadowing Practice Routine
Ready to try shadowspeak? Follow this simple loop using the video:
- Watch 10 seconds: Focus on the speaker’s mouth movements and intonation.
- Pause and repeat: Say the phrase aloud, matching their speed and stress (e.g., "I have NOT tried to use it YET"). Record yourself—this helps you spot areas to improve.
- Compare: Play your recording next to the video. Notice if you missed any pauses or emphasized the wrong words.
- Repeat 3x: Do this for the same clip until it feels natural. Then move to the next 10 seconds.
For extra help, use a shadowing app to slow down the audio or loop sections. The more you practice, the better you’ll get at sounding like a native. Remember: every small repeat is a step toward fluency—you’ve got this!
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.
