1
You know what?
2
Let's darken the screen.
3
Can you see your own reflection?
4
Are you lying in bed?
5
Maybe you're watching this on the toilet because you're so addicted to your phone, you can't go a minute without it.
6
Or maybe you're just procrastinating on your assignment.
7
I don't know how you're watching this video, but I can probably guess that you're in a constant state of guilt and self-loathing, disappointed because you would have achieved your goals if you just stuck to it.
8
So if you want to change your life and stop this self-sabotage, the first thing that I need you to do is really simple.
9
Finish watching this video.
10
Because if you can't even finish a 15-minute video, you cannot expect to manage your entire day, let alone change your life.
11
I can promise you by the end of this video, you'll know exactly how to stop procrastinating, how to stop being lazy,
12
break free from your phone addiction, some unique tips, how to create a simple plan to stay organized and how to overcome perfectionism so that you can actually start making real progress in your life.
13
It is going to be hard, you're going to feel the urge to switch to a different app or even take some breaks but that's okay.
14
But you need to remember Bestie, the only thing standing between the current version of you and the dream version of yourself is you.
15
And as a present for making it till the end I'll be giving you a free downloadable package that you can use to overcome this rut.
16
Let's go!
17
The first thing that you need to do is stop consuming relatable content online.
18
So recently I've had a lot of finish my uni assignment in x number of hours videos pop up on my for you page.
19
I found them so interesting I actually shared a few with my mom but a lot of these videos were talking about how much they
20
hated their subject and how they always left their assignments till the last minute and as I scrolled and scrolled I became
21
numb to that behavior and so suddenly submitting my assignment late didn't seem like a big deal anymore because everyone else was doing it too and so I realized that consuming relatable content is a trap.
22
Yes it definitely gives us comfort and community when we need it most but it starts becoming harmful when this is a space that we don't want to feel comfortable in in the long term.
23
You will start to become the content that you consume and so constant exposure to not only content about procrastination but things like insecurities,
24
eating habits, self-doubt, all these things will keep you in a cycle of negativity that you want to break free from.
25
Especially when a lot of the comments under these posts will talk about how they're feeling the same way.
26
And so what I want you to do is to create a new account whether that's TikTok, YouTube or Instagram.
27
Create a new account and only follow people who inspire you and are living the life that you want to live.
28
We are human so I totally understand if you start feeling jealous or bad about yourself when you watch these people but I want you to remember this.
29
What's stopping you?
30
Why can't that be you?
31
I mean people aren't just productive naturally.
32
We don't pop out the womb running 5k marathons and typing 1000 word essays you know?
33
It's an active choice that you have to make every day and it's a choice that you can make too.
34
So break that habit of only watching relatable content and start watching people that actually inspire you to take action.

36
Next, overcoming your phone addiction.
37
If you're someone that has consistently tried to stop their phone addiction but failed, it's probably because you've tried to cut it down from 8 hours of screen time to two hours.
38
That's just too much of a jump, it's not going to work.
39
Just like how smokers will transition from using cigarettes to nicotine patches to ease out of their addiction, we need to apply the same principle to our phone addiction.
40
We need to do it with intention but how do you do that?
41
If you have a lot of work to do but just can't stop scrolling through TikTok, don't fight it.
42
Keep your phone with you but tell yourself that you'll start the work.
43
Maybe it's just writing one sentence or getting your supplies.
44
The point is to begin even if our phones are right there because our goal right now is to make progress and not to be perfect and more about this in the last tip.
45
Another way is to make your phone go from a distraction to a tool and the only thing you need to do is switch to a more productive app.
46
You don't even need to get up.
47
For example, you can choose to learn a new language instead of scrolling on TikTok.
48
Personally, I have no interest in learning a new language so I prefer using an app called Brilliant.
49
I'm pretty sure I've shown myself using this app a few times before in my vlogs but basically Brilliant is this website slash app that takes complicated subjects like engineering,
50
programming, computer science or AI and they turn it into game-like bite-sized lessons.
51
During the pandemic, I actually tried to learn how to code but it was way too boring and I completely lost interest.
52
Since then I've actually switched to Brilliant just to learn the basics of coding here and there throughout university and I find that much
53
more fun but this year I'm actually really enjoying the critical thinking and problem solving lessons because it really just feels like a game and a lot
54
of you actually told me that you are enjoying the lessons too but if you're a student I think you'll find Brilliant even more helpful because one, you can get ahead of your peers by doing the basics of different subjects during your holidays.
55
And two, you can use this app to get an introduction to complicated subjects like engineering and see if that's actually what you want to pursue in university.
56
Honestly, just by dedicating about 15 minutes a day, you'll be amazed at how many new things you'll learn.
57
You can actually try it for free for 30 days using the link brilliant.org slash feyfilms.
58
I'll leave it in the description box below.
59
And you can also get 20% off the annual premium subscription.
60
Next, please stop rushing everything and everywhere.
61
Why are you always late for everything, bestie?
62
When we rush something, we're always thinking to ourselves, let's just get this done and over with or that's just good enough for me, I guess.
63
But if you keep doing things last minute, these statements are no longer just statements.
64
They become our personality.
65
It is a never-ending cycle.
66
Constantly needing to do everything quickly will just drain your energy and motivation And it's gonna make it really hard to stay consistent in the long run Another thing, when we're rushing, the quality of our work drops, right?
67
And then we don't get the results that we want Which makes us upset and unmotivated Which makes us not want to start the work again It's a never-ending cycle that will ruin your life Slow down and start earlier
68
Slowing down lets us pay attention to detail recover our energy and produce work that we're actually proud of, whether that's in our hobbies, our personal life or anything else.
69
Productivity isn't just about how fast you can complete things, but also about how efficiently you move towards your goals.
70
It's not a flex to be able to finish five lectures a day if the only reason you accomplish that is because you started late and you had no other choice.
71
So besties, start doing things earlier and in the next point, we'll learn how to do that.
72
Next, have a monthly plan.
73
Let me know if you're the same but sometimes I feel like a daily plan can be really overwhelming especially when I'm just not feeling it and when I don't get anything done I feel even worse.
74
If you struggle with that, I want you to get yourself one of these.
75
It's a monthly calendar and I'll leave a few of my favorites in the description box below.
76
Every month outline what you have due.
77
Start by writing down your big commitments like exams, project deadlines or important events.
78
Once you've marked those down, plan smaller tasks around them.
79
For example, if you have a test at the end of the month, set smaller study goals for each week leading up to it.
80
I find that a lot more manageable because you can just decide which day you want to start since you already know what you need to get done that week.
81
And to make your life easier, I've actually prepared a free printable monthly template that you can download and print immediately while you still have the motivation.
82
I'll link it in the description box below and the payment that I need from you is for you to subscribe and comment down below.
83
I will start working towards my goals today and it is my birthday so feel free to leave a like on this video as a little present.
84
A small tip as well, if you have something due in the first week of the next month like my test here make a note of it in the previous month because there's nothing worse than flipping the calendar and then being caught off guard.
85
Remember, predictability brings peace.
86
You won't be caught off guard by sudden deadlines or unexpected errands and you'll feel more in control of your life.
87
And when you note down special occasions, it's something for you to look forward to.
88
Next, reduce decision fatigue.
89
A lot of your problems will be solved if you just keep one thing in mind.
90
Reduce decision fatigue.
91
Basically, the more decisions you have to make throughout the day, the more your mental energy gets depleted.
92
You know when you're just sick of thinking about what you want to eat for dinner every night?
93
That feeling.
94
And you want to know the best way to feel decision fatigue.
95
Having a messy space.
96
It's not even about hygiene anymore, it's just that when your space is constantly messy and disorganized, you're always making little little decisions that will wear you out over time and this is completely avoidable.
97
Where is this?
98
What do I need next?
99
I'm already late and I can't find my purse.
100
And when it gets really bad, we won't want to get out of bed because even going to the toilet means you have to move the chair, move the blanket, step over the shoes, move the clothes.
101
And it's really unfortunate because we don't even realize how much our space affects us until our mental health gets really bad.
102
So I'm going to give you two things, just two, that you can start doing now to reduce decision fatigue.
103
They're super simple.
104
One, when you're working or being productive and you want to take a break, set up your workspace for your next task before you leave your desk.
105
What I mean is open the tab that you'll need, organize your desk and make sure everything is in place.
106
That way, when you sit back down, all you need to do is start.
107
You can just jump straight back into your work without any hesitation.
108
This will especially help you if you have trouble with procrastination and getting back into work after taking breaks.
109
Second thing you need to do is put your space to sleep every night.
110
Just spend 5 minutes tidying up before bed, preparing your clothes for the next day, and setting up your environment so that it's ready to support your best self.
111
And try to make it a habit to write a to-do list every night before you go to sleep so that you wake up knowing exactly what to do and you don't have to think about it.
112
Reducing decision fatigue is not just about making fewer choices every day but also about setting yourself up for success.
113
If you want more tips on how to increase productivity effortlessly, I did make a video on this that I'll link up here and in the nutrition box below.
114
An advertisement might play in the next few minutes so if you would like to support this channel please do not skip the ad thank you!
115
Next, have timed commitments.
116
If you're absolutely hopeless at being disciplined then create a schedule that resembles a high school timetable.
117
What do I mean by this?
118
Basically sometimes we just need to create deadlines for ourselves.
119
For example, meeting our friends to work or study.
120
You're most likely going to show up because you don't want to let your friends down and you're going to also get some work done.
121
I hope.
122
You can also go to the library two to three hours before it closes.
123
This is another effortless deadline.
124
Just tell yourself that you can only leave after the library closes.
125
If you don't like exercising, try signing up for exercise classes.
126
You're probably not going to skip because that's just wasting money.
127
And that's just a few examples of what I mean by having fixed commitments.
128
When you have scheduled activities, you don't need to decide when or where to start.
129
You simply don't have a choice.
130
Kind of like high school, you know?
131
We didn't have a problem studying eight hours a day because we simply didn't have a choice and now three hours at university feels like a lifetime.
132
If you want more tips on how to be disciplined, I did make a video before, I'll leave it here.
133
Next, break the all or nothing mentality.
134
I want all my chronic perfectionists to listen up.
135
The best advice that anyone has ever given me was from my mom.
136
I basically told her that I was sick of doing the laundry, I just couldn't be bothered to fold all of them.
137
And she said one simple thing, who says you have to fold all of them now?
138
Huh, yeah, why do I have to complete a task once I've started it?
139
Tell me if you feel the same but sometimes as a perfectionist, I feel like my worst enemy is myself.
140
Because sometimes I feel like I only have two choices in life which is to either do it perfectly or don't do it at all but more often than not it just leads to burnout and procrastination.
141
The truth is that progress does not have to be perfect so instead of thinking I have to do this perfectly right now, I've just learned to embrace the idea of doing just something.
142
Even if it's just folding half the laundry, washing one dish, writing one paragraph of my essay or working on a project for 10 minutes.
143
That small step is still progress and it's much better than nothing.
144
Plus if you woke up late that does not mean that the entire day is wasted.
145
I did make a whole video on this that you can also check out.
146
The key is to just start.
147
I promise bestie once you let go of that all or nothing mentality you'll feel a lot less pressure, you'll accomplish more and you'll avoid that procrastination trap that comes with chasing perfection.

Почему стоит практиковать разговорный английский с этим видео?
Практика разговорного английского — это один из лучших способов улучшить свои навыки аудирования и произношения. Это видео отлично подходит для shadow speak, так как в нём рассматриваются актуальные проблемы, с которыми сталкиваются многие, такие как прокрастинация и зависимость от телефона. Такой контекст позволяет не только усвоить новые слова и фразы, но и научиться выражать свои мысли по важным жизненным вопросам. Слушая и повторяя за спикером, вы получите не просто знания, а реальное понимание языка, что поможет вам чувствовать себя увереннее в разговоре.
Грамматика и выражения в контексте
- "You know what?" — Это распространённое выражение используется для привлечения внимания и может быть полезным в начале разговора.
- "It is going to be hard" — Структура Future Continuous применена здесь для обозначения будущего времени и создания ожидания.
- "What's stopping you?" — Вопросительная форма, которая помогает понять причины своего поведения и может быть использована в разных контекстах.
- "Create a new account" — Здесь используется повелительное наклонение, что делает выражение более настойчивым и побуждающим к действию.
- "Make your phone go from a distraction to a tool" — Использование метафоры делает речь более яркой и запоминающейся.
Распространённые ловушки произношения
При прослушивании видео необходимо обращать внимание на следующие слова и выражения, которые могут быть трудными для произношения:
- "procrastinating" — Обращайте внимание на ударение и слоговую структуру.
- "addiction" — Уделите внимание произношению второй "d", чтобы избежать путаницы.
- "intention" — Здесь также важно правильно поставить ударение, чтобы слово звучало естественно.
- "comfort" — Часто произносится с различными акцентами, обратите внимание как это делает спикер, чтобы улучшить своё восприятие.
Не забывайте использовать техники shadowing для практики и закрепления новых знаний. Повторяйте за спикером, вчитывайтесь в идеи и выражения, чтобы лучше усвоить уроки, изложенные в видео. Повторяя и погружаясь в текст, вы не только улучшите свой английский, но и почувствуете себя более уверенно при общении.
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.
