so ever since i started renting this studio i can't help

but wonder how i'm going to remember this crazy part of my life

and this isn't my first studio either the last one played such a pivotal part in my growth as a creative.

And I think about those days all the time.

They were the good old days.

And that felt like it was yesterday.

So it makes me wonder, am I in the good old days right now?

Now, this might sound really weird, so just bear with me,

but I fantasize the day when my grandkids are going through a box of my old stuff.

And when they open that box, they can live my good old days because it's documented.

it.

Moments, time, ideas, all these things are so fleeting and that's all we're left with once the moment is gone.

We're left with the documentation of it and the memory.

So a couple of years ago,

I picked up the camera again and that's when I swore the oath that I I would document my life. For me.

You smiled so lovely.

Oh, really?

You have to be on the back of the bed.

I don't know if there's a problem.

I want to have experiences and memories documented to look back on and cringe.

That view is incomprehensible.

It just doesn't even look real.

It's not real.

Maybe I'm not real. Is life real?

I think I'm in a dream.

for me, but also for my grandkids.

And this whole process has evolved and I have four different ways of documenting my life.

And the fourth is the best one.

It's the secret sauce.

Okay, let's start with...

But this camera you're watching it on is a hefty investment.

It's like five grand.

So just taking photos and videos on your phone is a great place to start documenting your life intentionally.

Everyone's doing the same thing.

Don't just do the same old, same old.

Find new settings, find cool lighting, find interesting compositions.

I will say that if you put that much money into a camera,

you're bound to use it and you're also bound to get a good quality image.

All the technical stuff like this.

I didn't know any of that stuff.

I just learned it.

The only reason I picked up that camera again was to document my life

so that I could look back one day and I don't know, maybe make a video about it.

Maybe just look at it, but also incorporating old cameras, new cameras, and things like action cameras.

This gives you like a different range of feelings and emotions you can carry when you document your life.

People tend to skip this part when they are documenting their life and that is the appropriate storage system.

So these are hard drives of all of my footage and first of all I don't recommend doing this.

If I lose any of these I lose all of these clips for good and that haunts me in my dream.

Just having one of these to sort and organize your clips.

I usually work project by project.

So I save all of the clips to a required project.

And then there's folders in folders in folders to organize.

I kid you not, I literally just bought a new hard drive and this thing corrupted.

This has never happened to me.

I think I just jinxed myself.

incredibly bad.

I am so excited.

If you have seen my last video, I lost my hat.

It almost felt like I lost a child or, you know, what that might feel like.

And I was devastated.

I mean, I love that hat and it had so many memories.

I ran a goddamn ultra marathon in that hat.

They discontinued my hat.

We're back.

Thank you, Hills Hats, for sending me out the freebie.

I love your product.

I just want to say hi to my grandkids.

And yes, I was dressing like a grandpa in my 20s, dude.

Like, what's your problem?

Hey, you got a goddamn problem with me?

I've been journaling for basically my entire life just in different types of formats you can see that I have

Dom's mega scrapbook full of awesome stuff and uh I don't know

when this was Mario Luigi and Yoshi

but then I transitioned on to let's just say stoner scrapbooking holy moly

but now I've decided I only need two books ever for the rest of my life

I like it the way I move.

I like it the way I do.

I like it.

Journaling is a big part of my daily routine, how I document my life and how I document my channel.

This two book system has been a refinement of years

and years of using different notebooks

and this is the best way I have found to document my life for my creativity

and my grandkids later on in the future.

So this book is strictly for chaos ideas, throwing it around, and it is quite a robust design due to the leather.

By the way, these are both my products and I am not in any

Anyway, making you buy these, I'm just showing why they fit so nicely into my daily routine.

This book is basically where all of the juice gets squeezed.

Having keepsakes and collages that work alongside the journal entries makes the book come alive in my opinion.

So how I do this is actually really simple.

I just go throughout my week collecting anything 2D out of magazines, books, you cut and you paster me.

For the written journal entries, I like to use a date stamp.

That'll go on the left side of the page.

Then you write the exact time and your location on the right side of the page.

From there, I just freestyle, you know, what I'm feeling, what I'm excited about.

And this actually gives me a lot to talk about inside my videos because it's what I'm thinking about.

You know, you're documenting your life well when your book doesn't even close properly anymore.

Lastly, a monthly habit tracking spread.

100

By the way, this takes 10 minutes every single day, less.

101

If you're just tracking your habits, it's like two minutes.

102

If you're journaling as well, it's max 10, 15 minutes.

103

So I do this month by month every single day, or at least I try to.

104

I do miss days and then I have to go back in, fill them out.

105

But this has been really, really nice to look back on as a piece of documentation.

106

Probably one of the most satisfying things out there.

107

So you might be watching this thinking it's pretty complex, but actually it's very simple.

108

There's two months here from September to October.

109

And in between, this is all the days of September.

110

That's how I divide my months.

111

Once you wrap your head around it, it becomes super simple.

112

On the spread, it does look complex.

113

Please don't be intimidated.

114

it's a really fun way of documenting your life.

115

Okay, so far video, photo, journaling, hat collection.

116

But something that I document yearly is a letter to myself.

117

Don't open until you're actually mature.

118

I'd say I'm pretty mature.

119

There's actually a story behind this one.

120

I was made to do this in year nine by my teachers.

121

They gave us like the most boring school prompts you could think of.

122

Like what subjects will you be interested in 12 months time?

123

Like no one cares about that stuff.

124

So I wrote myself a personal letter.

125

Look, mate, you're probably like 21 or something.

126

I don't know, but I'm sure you're cringing at this already.

127

My teacher wants us to speak about this camp in this letter, but I'm like...

128

that lol and I kid you not I wrote down a team

129

and a player for the AFL

130

which is like the big sport of Australia from inside the center square boys kick the goal

131

it would probably be the same as NFL the winner of

132

that year's grand final and I also wrote down the brown low medalist which is like the MVP.

133

I literally on the nose guessed them and since that day I've written a letter to myself every year since.

134

If you're completely stuck on what to put inside this letter I'm going to share a list of prompts

135

that I use when I am writing my letter to myself.

136

So you want to start your letter with the date, time and where you are.

137

I want you to then describe where you are through the smell, sounds, what you can see.

138

Then talk about how you feel and what's on your mind.

139

Where do you see yourself in 12 months?

140

What's your scariest goal?

141

What are you avoiding?

142

What's your biggest fear?

143

What are three wishes that you would want granted?

144

And then if you want, you can put in your sports team and predict the winners.

145

Good luck making your letter to yourself.

146

Okay, but now it's time for the absolute secret sauce.

147

So this is my wall of achievements.

148

Each of these photo frames tells a different story about a different chapter of my life.

149

I think this is one of my favorite ways of documenting.

150

There's a few things on this wall that have already been touched on in this video,

151

which is funny, you might be able to spot them painting of the sanctuary by my girlfriend Ella.

152

We have the letter of resignation from when I ran an ultra marathon in my hat.

153

And up the top there, I did a three week yoga retreat.

154

So I'm a certified yoga teacher.

155

The more you know about me.

156

Now, if I was to pick my favorite achievement of all time, it would have to be my pen license.

157

For me to still have this and have it framed in like the most outstanding gold frame of all time.

158

I think this just takes the cake as my favorite.

159

But guys, there's a spot right here that would be perfect for a plaque of some kind.

160

If you could just press the subscribe button to help me get there, that would be much appreciated.

161

Hungry, never be hung up,

162

hung up like my enemy I used to be, oh, oh, oh

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
