So today I'm gonna talk about productivity.

This is a great topic to talk about because everybody wants to be productive.

What does productivity mean?

If you're productive it means you produce a lot.

It means that you see good results from your effort or work.

So let's talk about some ways we can be productive.

The first way we can be productive is by waking up early.

I know that many of you don't like this advice.

Not many people like waking up early.

I wake up pretty early but it's not easy for me.

I usually wake up at 6 a.m every day.

This is early but some people wake up earlier than me like at 5 a.m.

I wake up early so I can be more productive every day.

My official work starts at 7.30 a.m

but since I wake up at 6 I can do more things before I start working.

For example, I read a little bit in the morning and I study languages.

I usually read for about 15 minutes and I can study languages for about 50 minutes.

If I don't do this in the morning,

I might not have time to do it later.

So I do all this before my work starts.

I'm pretty productive in the morning.

How about you?

Are you productive in the morning?

Okay, another way we can be productive is by removing distractions.

A distraction is something that doesn't let you focus on your work.

For example, if you're trying to work and you hear dogs barking outside,

that might make you lose focus.

Some distractions are hard to remove,

like your neighbor's dog, but other distractions are easy to remove.

For instance, you can silence your cell phone.

If you hear your phone vibrate or ring you usually want to look at your phone.

When my phone vibrates I sometimes get distracted.

If you want to remove this distraction you can put your phone on silent or on airplane mode.

For some people this is hard.

Some people don't want to ignore their phone calls and messages.

They think that it's very important to check their phone.

This might be true, but it's also important to finish your work.

If you silence your phone,

it can help you finish your work faster.

So removing distractions like this can be very helpful.

Okay, another way we can be more productive is by making sure that we're comfortable when we work.

For example, if you're in an uncomfortable chair,

or if you feel hot or cold you might be less productive when you're working.

In my case, I don't work well if my chair is uncomfortable.

Usually my back hurts and I want to change positions.

So I need to sit in a comfortable chair when I work.

Sometimes I sit on my couch when I work because it's comfortable there.

This helps me be more productive.

Alright, one more way that we can be productive is by setting goals.

In my opinion this is the best way to be productive.

If you set goals for yourself you feel motivated to work.

You want to achieve your goals.

I always set goals for myself to help me be productive.

It's good to set short-term and long-term goals.

A short-term goal is a goal you want to achieve soon.

A long-term goal is a goal you want to achieve after a long time.

You can set short-term and long-term goals to help you learn English.

For example, maybe your short-term goal is to watch all my A1 listening practice videos by next month.

And maybe your long-term goal can be to read a whole book in English by the end of the year.

You can set many types of goals for yourself.

I like to set daily goals too.

This helps me be productive every day.

For instance, each day my goal is to practice my listening in French for one hour.

Every day when I complete this hour I feel great.

I know that I accomplished my goal.

Okay, I hope you can use these tips to help you be more productive.

Now I'm gonna ask you some questions about the video to see if you understood.

Number one, what's one activity I do before I start my work in the morning?

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
