Hello!
2
So most of you, maybe even all of you who are watching this video, probably found me through my interstitial journaling video.
3
The fact that that one reached so many people, I'm still a little shocked, but also genuinely grateful.
4
Thank you for being here, really.
5
A lot of you told me that the video was helpful
6
and some of you said that you've been doing a version of this for years without having a name for it, which I loved hearing.
7
But there were also some points that felt unclear for some people.
8
Not questions exactly, more like points of confusion or moments where you weren't sure how this actually works in real life.
9
In the first video, I mostly talked about the method.
10
I showed my notebook, but I didn't really show how I use it moment to moment.
11
So this video is a follow -up, not to complicate the method, but to make it more practical and hopefully easier to understand and use.
12
Today, I'll answer some of the common questions that people left on
13
that video and i'll also show how i use interstitial journaling
14
while tackling something i personally find overwhelming
15
so the task i picked for today is my wardrobe
16
i've been wanting to organize it for a very long time
17
and i haven't been able to start it's one of those tasks
18
that just leaves in your head is too big even though logically you know
19
that it's not that serious i am not organizing my whole wardrobe today i already know that that's unrealistic stick for me.
20
I'm doing one shelf and that's it.
21
And please don't judge the mess.
22
Now this is where interstitial journaling starts.
23
I take my notebook and the first thing I do is not plan.
24
I don't motivate myself.
25
I don't hype myself up.
26
I simply ask what did I just do and I write that down with a time.
27
Then if I want to I add context.
28
Not because I have to but because it helps me.
29
This part is important.
30
I'm not shaming myself or forcing positivity.
31
I'm just naming what's true.
32
Then I ask the second question.
33
What is the smallest next step that I can tolerate?
34
Not the whole task, not even organize the shelf, just the next physical movement.
35
And I write that.
36
open the wardrobe that's it then i do that i open the wardrobe and then i write again opened the wardrobe
37
so this part of my wardrobe is basically made up of old clothes home clothes some random pieces that I never wear,
38
small items and things I just shoved here to get them out of sight.
39
A little hiding spot for them, which means it gets very very messy.
40
I probably should get rid of a lot of it, but that's not today's task.
41
Today I'm just gonna organize and fold everything and that's it.
42
Now the next tiny step becomes obvious. And I do that.
43
Great, lovely.
44
Then we start folding.
45
At this point, something usually happens.
46
Once I'm a few minutes into the task, my body is already moving, and the task is no longer theoretical.
47
So I often just stop writing every single step and just continue.
48
um so So
49
finished!
50
I also did the shelf below, why not?
51
And when I'm done I come back to the notebook.
52
and then I mark the transition.
53
Next, get a snack.
54
This helps my brain close the task and move on without drifting.
55
so the other question was when do you write before
56
or after and the short answer is both you write after you notice
57
that you've arrived somewhere physically or mentally and before the next tiny action
58
if you're stuck you're not really documenting your life you're just creating bridges between moments.
59
Where's my snack?
60
Another question was, how do you know what to do next?
61
I think this question comes from the assumption that interstitial journaling is some kind of planning system.
62
It's really not.
63
You don't need to know your whole plan and you don't need to think ahead.
64
Actually, trying to figure out everything in advance is usually what makes things harder, especially if you already struggle with starting.
65
When I write an entry, I'm not asking myself what should i be doing with my life right now most of the time
66
when i write down what i just did the next step becomes obvious on its own
67
if i write set down in front of the wardrobe
68
then it's pretty clear what comes next i don't need to plan it i just see it
69
and if i don't see it that's also information it usually means the task still feels too big
70
so i make the next step smaller
71
and there's no pressure to get it right if the next step you wrote doesn't happen it's fine
72
You just write again what you actually did and from there you find the next tiny step and that's the whole loop.
73
And a couple of people asked where my notebook is from.
74
I honestly don't know.
75
I got it from a tiny local shop for very very cheap and it has no brand name.
76
And actually the notebook doesn't matter.
77
Don't get influenced by me to buy some new notebook that looks like this.
78
What does matter is accessibility.
79
I recommend something small because it's easier to keep near you and it feels less intimidating to actually use.
80
But you can also use a whiteboard or a big sticky note on your fridge.
81
You can write in a notes app or write on your laptop if you're there all day.
82
I personally do this on my laptop very often.
83
Same method, different formats.
84
I actually recommend trying different ways of doing it, adjusting and then dropping parts that don't work.
85
This only works if it fits your brain.
86
Another question was do you write a to -do list?
87
Not really.
88
I don't make a traditional to -do list because my brain tends to rebel against them.
89
What I usually do in the morning is more like a brain dump
90
and that's not a list that I have to obey.
91
It's just me emptying my head onto the page so that it stops buzzing.
92
And during the day tasks naturally emerge from that. so
93
and another thing a couple people said was i don't switch tasks
94
i procrastinate i can't start i guess this is the most important part.
95
If you can't start, don't start by trying to start.
96
Start by writing what you're already doing.
97
For example, watching YouTube videos about cats.
98
I know I'm avoiding starting my task.
99
Then ask yourself, what is the smallest thing I could do next?
100
Not start the task, something smaller.
101
Maybe it is, next, open my notebook.
102
Then you do that.
103
Then you write, opened my notebook.
104
That matters because now you have proof that you did something.
105
You moved.
106
You are capable of movement.
107
From there, the next tiny step becomes visible.
108
This is how it pulls you out.
109
Not by force, but by momentum.
110
If your phone is already in your hand, do it there.
111
If the notebook is near you, use that.
112
Reduce friction as much as possible.
113
So, the core of interstitial journaling is this.
114
You write down what you did, even if it feels stupid, even if it feels tiny, even if it is something unproductive.
115
Seeing evidence of action changes how your brain perceives itself.
116
Then often, but not always, you add one tiny next.
117
Not for every entry, not perfectly, just enough to keep moving.
118
If this method helped you, I'm really glad.
119
If parts of it don't work for you, that's okay too.
120
Take what helps and leave the rest.
121
And if you want, tell me in the comments, have you adapted this for yourself?
122
Thank you for being here and watching this video, and I'll see you next time.
123
Bye!

Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione
Chi parla usa 43 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come don't, I'm, you're. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.
- I suoni “th”: cloth /klɒθ/, theoretical /ˌθi.əˈɹɛt.ɪ.kəl/
- I suoni “sh” e “zh”: shelf /ʃɛlf/, shock /ʃɔk/, transition /tɹænˈzɪʃ.ən/, confusion /kənˈfjuːʒən/, assumption /əˈsʌm(p).ʃ(ə)n/
- Parole lunghe — attenzione all’accento: naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, genuinely /ˈd͡ʒɛn.ju.ɪn.li/, momentum /ˌmə(ʊ)ˈmɛntəm/, theoretical /ˌθi.əˈɹɛt.ɪ.kəl/, accessibility /əkˌsɛs.əˈbɪl.ə.ti/
I suoni difficili per chi parla italiano:
- /h/ — va soffiata, non è muta: helpful /ˈhɛlp.fl̩/, hype /haɪp/
- Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: notebook /ˈnoʊtˌbʊk/, wardrobe /ˈwɔɹdɹoʊb/, organize /ˈɔɹɡənaɪz/, shelf /ʃɛlf/, laptop /ˈlæp.tɑp/
- /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: laptop /ˈlæp.tɑp/, snack /snæk/, naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, practical /ˈpɹæk.tɪ.kəl/, format /ˈfɔːɹ.mæt/

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
