1
The older I get, the more I've realized how much time I have to set aside just to clean.
2
I'll ask a friend, what'd you get up to last weekend?
3
And they'll think for a bit and then say, I just cleaned.
4
Crap, I gotta do that too.
5
I've seen people, therapists, and the elderly all talk about how everyone's too gosh darn connected to their cell phones.
6
How we don't allow ourselves a single moment to be present or alone with our thoughts.
7
But when it comes to cleaning,
8
I think you should fill that void up with as much noise as possible.
9
Cleaning is such a boring and monotonous task that even people in the 1700s would pass the time by singing to themselves.
10
And while these pilgrims didn't have endless podcasts to listen to,
11
you have YouTube videos.
12
Like this one.
13
So I want this video to serve as the noise you listen to while you get up and clean something.
14
Hopefully hearing a YouTuber talk about cleaning for the next 10 minutes will motivate you to start chipping away at
15
that mess you've been putting off for months.
16
I'm not asking you to drop everything and do a 3 hour deep clean of your closet,
17
but half-assing something is still better than no-assing something.
18
And I think you'd be surprised with how nice you can make a space look in only 10 minutes.
19
I want to give the caveat that I'm not a clean freak.
20
I've lived in a college dorm with a bunch of other guys,
21
my sink is most likely full of dishes as you're watching this,
22
and if anyone needs to do a three hour deep clean of their closet, it's me.
23
And I also know how hard it can be to look at a room that's in such a bleak
24
and disarray state that you get so overwhelmed by the mess that you don't even know where to start cleaning,
25
so you never do, which perpetuates this never-ending cycle that makes your entire space and mental health messier.
26
Luckily, I have a solution.
27
If you don't even know where to begin dealing with the mess,
28
the first step to cleaning any room is taking out the trash.
29
That's it.
30
That's all you have to do.
31
All those empty bottles and boxes,
32
get them out of there.
33
Whenever I clean, I like to play this fun little game that I know you've never played before,
34
because it's a game I invented.
35
It's called...
36
Is that where that goes?
37
To play this game, all you have to do is point at an object and go...
38
Is that where that goes?
39
And if that object is where it goes, then you're good.
40
You don't have to do anything.
41
But if that object isn't where it goes,
42
then you put it where it goes.
43
And you beat the game once everything that's going to or needed to go,
44
goes where it goes.
45
So while you're grabbing trash bags and flattening out boxes,
46
let me explain why I found cleaning to be so important in my adult life.
47
I really have to thank my parents for distilling...
48
I wouldn't call it a love for cleaning,
49
but rather a tolerance for it.
50
Growing up, my parents would print out physical job charts for the week,
51
and every day us kids did all of our chores,
52
we would earn one dollar.
53
However, any single chore we didn't do,
54
we would lose one dollar.
55
Meaning, it was possible for us to come out of a week of doing chores in the red.
56
My parents were earning money and teaching us about capitalism because my bed wasn't made.
57
Still owe them 35 bucks.
58
We were able to earn some money back doing Saturday chores.
59
This is when we did a deeper clean like vacuuming or mopping.
60
But Saturday chores didn't even hold a candle to the absolute worst chores we had to do,
61
which were the dreaded...
62
Company is coming over chores.
63
For some reason, whenever company was on their merry way,
64
it was vital that rooms said company would never even enter in the first place were spotless.
65
This one time, I think my mom was hosting like book club or something,
66
I finished mopping my bathroom,
67
which was not a bathroom that anyone in book club would be using, by the way.
68
And my mom did her usual room cleanliness inspection and said,
69
I think you should wipe that bucket down too.
70
She was making us clean.
71
The cleaning instruments.
72
Do you want me to vacuum the vacuum next?
73
However, if it wasn't for all those chores my parents forced me to do,
74
I feel like cleaning would have become something I dreaded doing,
75
instead of something I can actually wind down the day with.
76
I look forward to folding laundry and putting something on the TV
77
because I feel like I did something productive while watching cartoons.
78
And since I don't live with mom anymore,
79
I don't have to clean my bucket.
80
Which now doubles as a toilet.
81
Cleaning has become such an integral part of my life that cleaning other people's spaces.. is how I show my affection.
82
I'm about to put one of my best friends on complete blast here,
83
but I think he'll be okay with it because he constantly asks me to put him in videos.
84
I'm doing a video that's a puppet show with two bricks!
85
Can I have one of the bricks?
86
Okay.
87
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I recently visited one of my close friends,
88
infamous swoosh, at his place in upstate New York.
89
He's 24, living on his own for the first time with three other dudes,
90
and the second I stepped into his house, I went, OOOOOOOOH.
91
This is a guy's house.
92
I don't think a woman's been in here in like.. ever.
93
What really sealed it for me was the bathroom not having a trash can,
94
but rather a loose trash bag leaning up against a wall.
95
And it was full.
96
I hadn't planned for this to be on the itinerary of my New York trip,
97
but after seeing how dire Swoosh's living conditions were,
98
I decided to take him to his local Target to get him some necessary supplies.
99
I originally set out to get him three things.
100
A trash can, trash bags, and a handheld vacuum.
101
But as we were walking through Target,
102
we passed the broom aisle,
103
and I asked, You have a broom, right?
104
And his shoulders started to slowly rise into a shrug,
105
and I went, Dude!
106
Then we passed the Brita filter aisle,
107
and I said, You have one of these, right?
108
You haven't just been drinking tap water this whole time, right?
109
I mean, the sink's right there.
110
You know, Swoosh, normally when people move into a new place,
111
they do a big target run to get all the necessary cleaning supplies for their house.
112
What do you mean?
113
I did do a target run.
114
Didn't you see that buffalo pinning in my office?
115
Up until this point, Swoosh had been drying all of his dishes with paper towels,
116
which I guess is good because I just assumed he was eating everything in his bare hands like a Neanderthal.
117
So I think I'm saving him money in the long run.
118
I'm really about to show my age here,
119
but since I'm doing a whole video about cleaning,
120
I just need to gush real quick about my favorite piece of cleaning equipment.
121
This was one of the original three items I set out to get Swoosh before I knew how dire his situation was.
122
This is completely unsponsored by the way,
123
but the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Hand Vacuum has divided my life into two moments.
124
The time spent before I had this vacuum,
125
and the time spent after.
126
I love this vacuum so much that I've gifted it to friends on three separate occasions.
127
Now, this next piece of advice I used to roll my eyes at,
128
but after I started doing it,
129
I've really been enjoying it.
130
And that is to make your bed first thing in the morning.
131
I used to think, why do I need to make my bed?
132
I'm just going to get it messy again.
133
But making your bed is having the first thing you do in the morning be something that benefits your future self.
134
It helps set the tone for the day.
135
And if you are able to complete that small task,
136
then you're probably more likely to complete other more important tasks.
137
No, making my bed didn't magically fix all my problems,
138
but no matter what kind of day I was having,
139
it was always nice ending it in a clean bed.
140
Obviously, there's more to life than cleaning.
141
I would know.
142
I own all the Warrior Cat books.
143
But I think everyone should enjoy the space they live in.
144
I feel like a lot of us fall into a bad
145
habit of dreading to do a task longer than it would take for us to just do said task.
146
I definitely can be like that sometimes,
147
but if you've been following along and been cleaning while this video played in the background,
148
while your room might not be completely spotless,
149
I hope you can see how much of a difference you made in only 10 minutes.
150
Now imagine how much you can do in 20 minutes!
151
Isn't cleaning while watching YouTube videos so fun?
152
doing tasks so...accomplishing?
153
So if you need to clean, go clean!
154
Go clean your bedroom!
155
Go clean your kitchen!
156
Unclog that toilet!
157
The world is your oyster!
158
Get out there and CLEAN!
159

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
