You are not cooked.

You're just overwhelmed and nobody has taught you how to get your focus back in today's society.

So today, that's what I'm going to be doing.

People act like if you can't focus, it's like a personality flaw or something.

Yet they don't understand you're not choosing to be unfocused.

It's because your brain is trying to focus on everything all at once.

Just think about it.

In your day -to -day life, you're having to process more information in one day than our grandparents did in an entire month.

But you know what the best part is?

Do you know what the best part is?

actually fix it and today I'm going to be giving you the outline to how to fix your broken brain.

Now before we really get into why you can't focus, I need you to actually focus on this video.

So let's make a deal.

If you make it to the end of this video and you like the video, please be sure to like and subscribe.

If you're new here, this is where I share ways I'm getting my shit together

so that you can get your shit together.

My entire life I've had trouble focusing.

I was sent outside the classroom because I was talking too much.

I was always in my own little world.

I literally had

when the teacher called on me what the hell he was

talking about i know how it can feel like we're cooked in this society

that we're in

but trust me we're not it goes down to three main

reasons why you can't focus number one is dopamine overload this is the one everyone talks about

when they're like oh we live in a dopamine society

or whatever like attention economy i don't know all of those buzzwords

that are online on social media right now you know what

i'm talking about we all know we're addicted to instant gratification nowadays it's no surprise

but a lot of people will say well detox.

Oh my bad, let me fall off the face of the earth real quick because I need to do my homework.

It's not realistic.

A lot of us are so glued to our phones that we physically cannot detach whether we make money from our phones,

whether our job requires us to post for their social medias, whether we want an actual social life, who knows.

But the key is to regulate our dopamine and have systems

that allow us to not overload our brain with dopamine to the point where we don't actually

Now you wanna know the one thing that saved me?

Like an actual tool that can help you in your day -to -day life manage the task

that you need to get done?

Cognify, the sponsor of today's video.

It's basically an AI -powered learning and productivity platform that gives you what feels like an unfair advantage, not by doing the work for you,

but by helping you learn and retain information way deeper than you do on your own.

I've been using it specifically for my marketing classes in college

and for managing multiple projects where I have to conduct research on real brands.

faster and way more organized because I can do hours of research in minutes.

While doing market research for brands, Cognify helps me define customer portfolios, track key analytics, and conduct full SWOT analyses in seconds,

all inside one workspace.

But the part I love is that it doesn't just give me information, it actually reinforces the learning.

It breaks topics down into clean notes, builds assessments so I retain it four to seven times better,

and even reminds me a research assistant, and a productivity coach all in one place.

Everyone gets one month free of Cognify Pro, but if you use my promo code CognifyNatalie when you sign up, you get an extra month free.

Once you join, you get your own unique promo code also, and if 10 friends sign up using your code, you get a shot at $1 ,000.

This is an amazing tool for productivity, so be sure to go check it out.

Let's get back to the video.

Next, you multitask too much.

Every single time you are you know what, let me do this thing at the same exact time so I can save time.

But what you don't realize is that every single time you switch tasks, your productivity drops 40 % because your brain is having to reload context.

You forget what actually needs to be done and you hyper focus on things that actually don't matter.

This is a map of your focus.

If you want to genuinely reach a flow state, this is how you do it.

Stage one, understand orientation.

This is when your brain is scanning the world around you important or what it can just trash.

If you're wanting to focus on something, you need to make it something that's important to you, even if you have to trick your mind into doing it.

Next, you engage with the task.

This is when you're actually trying to start and this is where people encounter a lot of blocks.

Why do people encounter blocks during engagement?

Well, I want you to think of it like an algorithm.

You don't like every single post that you come in contact with, meaning you don't engage with every single thing that's on your feed.

It's the same exact thing with your your brain has categorized your task as something that's not important,

your brain's algorithm is literally going to deprioritize that task despite the fact that you really need to do it.

This is why you have to engage with creators that you actually find meaningful and are actually providing you value.

Once you've engaged with the task and you have actually limited your distractions, you have genuinely entered that flow state.

And how do we do that?

Well, there's a six -step process that I want you to follow and how you can remember it is literally by focus.

with an E at the end.

First things first, you need to filter your distractions.

And I know you can barely see the little thing on the screen, but I'll have pop -ups for the rest of it.

Filter your distractions, you guys.

Sometimes it really is that damn phone and you need to put it down, put it in a separate room, especially if you're needing to lock in to study for a test.

O is for optimize your space.

If you are literally surrounded by clutter, do you really think that your brain isn't going to feel cluttered?

That's not how it works.

Sometimes you have to go to a more quiet in order to get work done.

A hack that I use is I actually spray the same exact perfume every single time I study

because it'll actually help your senses recognize that you are trying to get into focus.

This is a reality hack that genuinely works

because you can get into a flow state faster when your brain associates patterns with what you're doing.

You're not going to engage with something that's boring and you're not going to engage with something that's stressful.

When your brain is so stressed out it'll shut down

but hacking your senses actually works whether it's chewing a piece of gum, drinking the same exact drink, or spraying a certain perfume when you are trying to get into focus,

it trains your brain to recognize that pattern.

C is for clock your time, okay?

Did you know that your brain loses focus automatically after 90 minutes?

Yeah, after 90 minutes, naturally your brain starts to lose focus and that's why you need a break.

That's why things like the Pomodoro Method work so well.

It's because a lot of people know about their circadian rhythm, but not a lot of people know about the ultradian rhythm.

Your brain has

focus cycle when your brain is actually emitting a certain frequency that allows you to get into a deep state of focus.

You can actually look this up.

100

Productivity drops right around 90 minutes, and that's because our brain gets exhausted.

101

Colleges and schools literally know this.

102

This is why they will schedule their classes around 90 minutes, or they will schedule a break every 90 minutes or so for the students.

103

If you've been looking for study methods, the Pomodoro method honestly works so well because it works perfectly with your brain's ultradian rhythm.

104

Next is to understand your priorities.

105

This is extremely important.

106

As I was talking about earlier, you can be in deep focus, but you're not focusing on the right things.

107

If you don't outline your priorities, your brain will outline your priorities for you without your consent.

108

This is why you multitask and then actually end up being less efficient because you didn't give your brain permission to multitask, but you also didn't give it constraints either.

109

And if you don't know which thing to prioritize first, just ask, what is the most pressing?

110

What do I need to get done?

111

right now.

112

S is for simplify concepts.

113

When you get obsessed with the tiny little details, you don't understand how all the concepts that you're trying to study for interrelates.

114

And when you get stuck in the details, your perfectionism takes over and suddenly you're not on track.

115

Here's a hack if you're trying to cram for a test.

116

Instead of trying to memorize the exact definitions of every single word,

117

write down the key points of every single slide you come the language used for the definition.

118

I'm just going to use this example because a lot of us know it.

119

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

120

The actual textbook definition of mitochondria is going to be on the screen right now.

121

But do you think I'm going to remember that?

122

If I'm asked on a biology test, what part of the cell is responsible for energy?

123

I'm going to immediately think, oh my God, it's the powerhouse because you know, it's a powerhouse and it creates energy.

124

Even if I didn't know what the mitochondria was, I now remember what the mitochondria was because I use language

125

that allows me to relate it to the question you can

126

use process of elimination on multiple choice questions in order to get the answer that's right even

127

if you didn't really know the definition

128

and finally establish patterns you need to be consistent in getting in focus

129

if you are able to establish a study pattern in your life

130

or a focus pattern in your life over time it will get easier

131

because your brain actually stores long -term memories through repetition so a habit actually tends

132

term routine just by you repeating it over and over and over again.

133

Now as a college student, I want to leave you guys off with some habits that have genuinely helped me in my life.

134

First one being grouping similar tasks together.

135

On my editing days, I'm focusing on editing.

136

On my recording days, I'm focusing on recording.

137

As someone who gets easily distracted, I also end up forgetting things a lot of the time.

138

So to prevent this, I actually ended up creating a system in my life that helps me not cold start my day.

139

And here's what I mean.

140

If I'm working on a project, the night before and I didn't let myself know where I stopped.

141

I'm going to open up the project the next day and feel like, wait, what was I doing again?

142

Writing a small note of where I was right before I stopped the task helps me so much.

143

Habit number three, five minute resets.

144

Setting a timer for five minutes and going, I'm going to declutter this space has given me so much mental peace because I know it doesn't have to be perfect.

145

I just have to clean off the area.

146

Habit number four

147

physical barriers like locking your phone in a drawer which can help

148

but it could also be turning your phone on grayscale your brain loves colors take away

149

that color and your phone doesn't really seem

150

that cool anymore in my opinion you don't have to dopamine detox

151

and fall off the face of the planet you just need to learn to not doom scroll with

152

that being said you guys I love you guys so much

153

and I'm so grateful you made it to the end of this video

Ситуация: Как вернуть фокус в мире переизбытка информации

В видео рассказывается о современной проблеме: люди не могут сосредоточиться, считая это личной слабостью, но на самом деле их мозг перегружен информацией. Автор делится опытом и советами, объясняя, что фокус можно восстановить, а не придумав что-то сложное, а используя простые системы. Это реальная ситуация для многих: работа, соцсети, учеба — всё требует внимания, и мозг не справляется. Звучит знакомо? Тогда давайте разберём, как из этого диалога можно вынести полезное для практики английского.

Полезные выражения и словосочетания

Get your focus back — вернуть фокус. Пример: "I need to get my focus back to finish this project."
Dopamine overload — перегрузка дофамином. Это ключевое понятие в видео: современная жизнь вызывает слишком много удовольствия от мгновенныхgratification, и мозг привыкает к этому.
Instant gratification — мгновенное удовлетворение. "We're all addicted to instant gratification from social media."
Detach from — отсоединиться от. "It's hard to detach from my phone because work requires it."
Reinforce learning — укрепить обучение. "The platform helps reinforce learning by building assessments."

Твоё задание на shadowing: повтори и прочувствуй ритм

Shadowing английский — это отличный способ улучшить речь, так как ты повторяешь за говорящим, копируя интонацию и темп. Для этого задания выбери отрывок из видео, где автор говорит о перегрузке дофамином (примерно с фразы "dopamine overload" до "regulate our dopamine"). Сначала послушай его несколько раз, запомни ритм. Затем включи запись и повторяй за автором сразу, не останавливаясь. Постарайся совпадать по темпу и эмоции — это поможет улучшить разговорный английский и чувство языка. Это shadow speech в действии: ты не просто повторяешь слова, но и учишься мыслить как носитель. Проверь, как это работает — результат удивит тебя!

Практика shadowing не только тренирует речь, но и помогает лучше понять живой английский. А если ты регулярно занимаешься, то скоро заметишь, что говоришь более уверенно. Так что не откладывай — начни прямо сейчас!

Придаточные определительные who / which + предложение — уточнение о человеке или предмете	someone who gets · drawer which can

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
