1
Five things to do instead of doom scrolling, with the last one being my favorite.
2
Recently, I've noticed that when I scroll, I get stuck.
3
Just one more video.
4
It feels awful.
5
I just get glued into the screen.
6
I gotta do something different.
7
But what can I do?
8
We always treat this like work.
9
I'm sick of doing this.
10
But if we just use it in a different way, I think it could actually be pretty fun.
11
Study something you're actually interested in.
12
Learn more about your favorite hobby.
13
Learn about how something was made.
14
Study how to get better at something.
15
Use that scrolling time to learn something.
16
Not about something you have to study, but about something that genuinely interests you. Because then...
17
You're actually going to enjoy that type of study and you'll be learning at the same time.
18
A lot of times we tend to feel like we can't go out
19
and do stuff unless we have someone else with us.
20
It's like we need an excuse to leave our homes.
21
So we scroll, we rot, we just stay in.
22
But it isn't that deep.
23
Go on a hike by yourself, go to the movies by yourself, go eat by yourself.
24
We associate being alone as sad or lonely, but that just doesn't have to be the case.
25
Go do something by yourself.
26
Enjoy your alone time, don't dread it.
27
Get out of your comfort zone.
28
A lot of times we set these, and we never see them through.
29
It feels so good when we actually do it, to see something through.
30
something you've worked on for hours, days, months.
31
To see something finished.
32
Feels so good.
33
A project.
34
A goal.
35
Work towards a goal.
36
Get up and spend time on that thing you've been pushing back.
37
Spend time on something you want to achieve.
38
Quit saying you'll do it later.
39
Scroll later.
40
Work towards your goal.
41
Now.
42
This can help clear things up so much.
43
Organize things.
44
Keep things tidy.
45
Write some.
46
One of the things I want to try to do instead of scrolling is writing.
47
Writing anything.
48
Your thoughts, a story, a letter.
49
Unlike scrolling, writing uses your brain in multiple ways.
50
It can train your brain, calm your brain, and it just slows things down from constantly viewing videos.
51
Write some.
52
This is my favorite one.
53
Probably the most fun one too.
54
When I think of something that captures my attention, that grabs me, not in that glue way like scrolling
55
but something I get lost in in a good way is creating something.
56
Even if it takes 10 minutes creating something you care about can feel so fun and again you're using your brain.
57
Getting lost in creating is such a good feeling.
58
It doesn't have to be some grand thing.
59
It could be building with legos, making a song, doodling but just use your brain for something creative.
60
We tend to put off doing things because we feel like we have time.
61
I'll just do it later but we don't know that.
62
Today might be the last day.
63
Take advantage of the time you've been blessed with, and sometimes you need that scrolling break.
64
But don't scroll so much that you forget you're living.
65
Go out and use the brain, the time, the talents that God's given you.

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.
