Forget everything that you think you know about productivity.

Literally throw it out the door because it's not going to help you here.

And in fact, I'm going to change your entire mindset around this.

We're talking about a time management secret that's completely backwards.

The more you slow down, the more time you actually have.

Now, I know that sounds completely insane, but just hang in there and I'll get into it.

Before we do that, though, I do want to preface that this is not going to be anything motivational.

So if you are looking for toxic motivation, this is not the video for you this one will be.

You're not going to get a hustle harder mantra from this

because I'm talking about real life scenarios that I went through

and how I'm able to manage my time but also manage my workload.

The first crucial shift that you need to have is that you need to slow down to actually speed up.

Stop trying to squeeze every second out of the clock unintentionally and the keyword there is unintentionally.

So let's cut the nonsense and dive deep into this so that it will make more sense to you.

Firstly, you want to set a clear goal.

I know this sounds so easy to say

and a lot of people say the same thing but what does this actually mean?

If you don't have a real set goal then you're not

going to know what destination you're going to go towards and therefore you're not going to know the journey.

For example, if you know you want fried chicken, that's one goal aka you want the good grades, but you don't know where you're going to get the fried chicken,

then you're just gonna walk around aimlessly and hoping

that the fried chicken shop will be there

but it's never gonna be there

because it's in the next town over that's the exact same

with your studies right now you know you want to get good grades

but because you don't have the goal set to get there you're just wandering around aimlessly pretending you're studying

but in reality you're wasting your time

so you want to ditch the useless goals like saying i'm gonna work on my project today that's gonna be pointless.

You want to be specific and be as realistic as possible as well.

Don't say, I'm going to learn an entire syllabus in just two seconds.

Obviously, that's not going to work.

And instead, it's going to set you back because you're going to feel so anxious about not being able to do it.

What you want to do instead is to say something along the lines of writing 100 words

or writing 500 words for my essay before noon or finalizing the presentation outline by 3 p.m.

In this way, you give yourself some dopamine hit because you feel like you've done something, so you feel like you're winning And secondly,

it also breaks the goals down in order to have a very specific tangible thing about it

So that you can actually track the progress of your goal itself Once you have that, it makes it a lot easier for you to break it down into smaller actions For example,

with the essay before, you can write down the outline first Afterwards, you can then write down the draft And once that's done,

you can then revise it So there's an actionable step each part of the way

so that you actually know where you're going and what road or path you're taking to get to your goal.

And this focus action was the one that changed everything for me.

When I didn't figure this out yet, I was literally all over the place and it meant

that I was juggling a lot of plates but they were all falling apart.

But by doing this, I started to see a lot more of what is going on in my day-to-day life

and therefore I can fit my studying around my entire life.

For example, if I have a social or an event

that evening with the society and we have a meeting in the morning about it

and then I have to come in early in order to set up the event, speaking to teachers, blah, blah, blah.

But also I have a tutoring session at 2pm

and also I still have to make content for my TikTok

and then I also have an exam tomorrow then how I'm gonna plan

that is to literally schedule my study sessions in between every

single one of them it takes me half an hour to go from home to uni I'll study in

that half an hour I'll study again in the half hour back I study during lunch break

while I'm eating my food I'll study during lessons when I know the topic already.

Sometimes the content is pretty obvious

and therefore I don't need to kind of sit there

and listen through it which means I can study for other subjects during my lecture time

and therefore I save a lot of time already.

But all of this is done by saying I'm gonna finish one pass paper by 2 p.m.

I know that at 2 p.m.

I have my tutoring session so between that time whatever free time I have I'll be working on my pass paper.

This honestly makes it a lot less overwhelming for me so give it a go.

Now I'm gonna give you a hard truth.

Rushing is what's screwing you over.

You think faster equals getting more work done but it's not the case.

You don't end up having six packs just from doing 100 squats within five seconds.

Just because you're fast doesn't mean you actually get the muscles quickly and that's the exact same with studying.

Again same thing what you get instead is just stress mistakes

and you end up feeling so miserable

because you're like oh my god I didn't complete it I

didn't complete it I shouldn't have done this I shouldn't have done

that I should have done this instead I should have done

that instead and you just end up spiraling out of control

and instead you worry about it and you lose the time

that you could have used to study because you end up worrying

so much when you deliberately slow down you work smarter you then become intentional with your time

and you make fewer errors and think more clearly in that case you get in control.

And I want to say this is a trick but it really isn't.

It's just that most people don't do it.

Start earlier than you need to.

Have what's called as a contingency plan and this is a plan for

when something happens out of your control that you still have enough time to complete whatever studying you have to do, whatever essay you need to do, whatever it is.

For example if it's the Christmas holidays, I don't actually know what my plans are going to be for Christmas most of the times

but I do know that when I go back into university in January I will have an exam.

So that means I will start planning to study from like end of November at least

or like early November

and depending on the subject how many months how many content I have to cover

but I try to start as early as possible and then give myself two weeks before the actual exam as contingency.

This means that

if in the holiday season something does come up where I

will be going out with my friends going out with family

going on holiday whatever it is I already have two weeks

planned at the end of it for me to have

that in case time so I still have that time to study

if that makes sense it also means that I actually push the deadline forwards

and I intentionally try to finish all of my studying two weeks early

if I do complete that two weeks early then good I have two extra weeks to relax but

if not I still have the two extra weeks to complete

100

my work you see what I'm getting at here like no matter what you're still gonna win

101

because you've set yourself up for winning so when

102

that happens you have less frantic mindset you're not as scared

103

and therefore you actually finish more work

104

because you're not thinking about it 24 7 next one i talked about quite a bit as well

105

and i talked about it in this schedule video

106

so have a look at that one

107

but it's to not ignore the compound effect of doing small

108

study sessions every single day instead of doing 15 hours a

109

day you want to instead do just small 30-minute sessions every single day.

110

This does two things.

111

Having the 30-minute sessions more regularly than the one-off cramming sessions means

112

that you are applying your spatial repetition and also your active recall, which will allow you to stick the memory of the subject in your mind for a lot longer.

113

So this means if you have your mocks this time, but then your exams next time and it's going to cover the same topic, you're still going to remember it then.

114

You just need to briefly refresh it, but you will still remember the majority of the content

115

because you've done the correct techniques to make it stick in your brain.

116

So when that happens, you actually have the compound effect of all of the things that you're learning accumulating with one another.

117

And this creates a momentum like a snowball literally rolling down a hill.

118

Real growth comes from working smarter consistently and letting the process handle the rest.

119

Now, sidetracking a little bit, this is a bit relevant to it, have you ever heard of task paralysis?

120

Now this is very common with those of you who have ADHD.

121

My boyfriend has this.

122

My boyfriend was recently diagnosed with ADHD

123

and therefore I got this idea of talking about this because it seems quite relevant to time management.

124

If you have ADHD or you're neurodivergent, it's a bit more difficult for you to manage tasks as compared to other people.

125

So what I do or what my boyfriend does specifically is to do simple tricks in order to break it.

126

Firstly, we do study crawls together or we move to open spaces where we work in cafes, where we study in cafes.

127

And this is purely because your body needs a reset from your normal day-to-day lives.

128

Once you start doing something, like for example, if you start studying in a study room or if you start studying in bed, your brain just kind of gets used to it.

129

And when your brain gets used to it, it gets bored.

130

So what you need to do is to consistently switch between places

131

and this is what me and my friends did during my A-levels as well.

132

We would switch between four cafes every single day in order for us to not get bored of one

133

and make sure that our brains are still there in a way.

134

Secondly, body doubling.

135

By having somebody there studying with you, it feels a lot easier for you to study.

136

So when I was studying by myself, if I didn't have anyone to study with me, I would watch a study with me on YouTube in order to feel that as if someone's studying with me.

137

They don't even have to be working at the same thing as you.

138

Just having their presence there will help you to actually work better.

139

I think it's all about the accountability at that point

140

because you're constantly thinking like oh my god I don't want to stop studying

141

because then they're going to judge me etc etc. Like I definitely feel

142

that all the time whenever I'm like studying in a cafe.

143

And thirdly you want to use the reward system.

144

Now it really depends on the type of person that you are.

145

For my boyfriend for example he loves tech so if he wants a new technology, he would have to complete a certain amount of work for

146

himself in order for him to be able to get that basically.

147

So he sets himself like a big reward.

148

But obviously, that's not always feasible.

149

So it's better to set yourself some small wins and therefore some small rewards as well, maybe a treat here and there.

150

But again, if you have ADHD and your neurodivergent, a lot of the times it might be that you just get bored of that small rewards.

151

So you have to mix and match it as you go along and see what works for you.

152

I can't say the same for everyone because ADHD

153

and neurodivergence is very much so dependent on each person and it's very much so on a scale.

154

But positive reinforcement will motivate your brain to keep going.

155

The next thing you need to do to tackle your time management issues is going to be to eliminate distractions.

156

Now this seems so obvious like

157

if you are distracted by your phone then put your phone in another room

158

or what I do is I film myself studying

159

and then i put it onto tiktok or i go on tiktok live stream

160

but obviously you don't have to do

161

that literally just having your phone up on the camera as

162

if you are filming yourself is good enough and the reason for

163

that is because every time i reach for my phone

164

and i want to use it i see myself doing it

165

and because i see myself doing it i get like shocked

166

and i stop doing it so the practical trick is to not fight them

167

but instead to manage them you can even have like a focus session set on your phone

168

which blocks off the other apps that you're not allowed to use

169

so for me i have work which will turn off all notifications

170

that are from social media and also

171

when i do go on social media it automatically puts it on a timer for me

172

so that i'm not on social media for like five hours for example doom scrolling

173

and if you don't want to use

174

that you can also negotiate with yourself on this

175

so tell yourself okay i'm gonna watch tiktok for five minutes

176

but then after that i have to do a 20 minute study session something like

177

that now one last trick that i want to tell you is to delegate wherever possible

178

but i study alone how do i delegate it to someone

179

delegating here means lightening your mental load by using tools

180

and systems firstly delegating to an app instead of trying to

181

force your brain to have every single information out there why not use a task manager like Notion,

182

Todoist, Motion, whatever it is that you want to use, have the app remembering it for you and organizing it for you so your brain doesn't have to think about it.

183

Secondly, delegate to automation.

184

So for me, it would be like what I said with my phone before.

185

When I set it to work, every time I go on a social media app, it sets a timer and therefore that's one form of automation.

186

You can also delegate to software.

187

So using voice to text for drafting or Grammarly for editing, these tools will handle the repetitive mechanics so you can focus only on the content itself.

188

In this way you are still in control but you have the help

189

that you need in order to take off a lot of the pressure from yourself.

190

One last thing your productivity will be slow at first trust

191

me on this I don't want you to then come off of this video try it for one day

192

and then completely give up because it's not going to be fixed within a day.

193

It's going to take some time but you will get there.

194

The best systems are the ones that works perfectly for you and you customize it for yourself.

195

Yes, all the things that I've done here are based on my experience and therefore have worked for me, but not every single thing I say here right now may have worked for you as well.

196

Try it out and see if they work.

197

If they don't, revise and adjust accordingly.

198

So maybe instead of you using like live streams on TikTok, you can instead use, I don't know, throwing your phone into the bin or something like

199

that to make it more productive for yourself and not be distracted by it.

200

So always try and adjust things here and there to see if it works for you.

201

So here's the key takeaways that we've said so far.

202

Firstly, you want to slow down to speed up.

203

Start early, break big goals down, be consistent with the small efforts, break paralysis with movement and dopamine, manage distractions, delegate the boring stuff to your tools,

204

and you want to drop the toxic hustle culture.

205

Time management is about using your attention wisely, not overdoing it because then you will have no attention span whatsoever.

206

You have the time that you need in order to complete your tasks so don't worry, slow down, you will get there.

207

So if you like that video, don't forget to share it with your friends and if you are done with the rush of life, then make sure to give me a like as well and subscribe to my channel if you haven't yet.

208

Tell me below what small thing you're gonna slow down and do in order to get more done.

209

See you, bye!

210

See you in the next video.

Bye!

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
