Hello everybody.

This week I'd like to talk to you about time management and specifically,

well as the title of my video is,

the power of the 15-minute habit,

particularly when it comes to language learning.

I hope it's no surprise or secret to anybody to learn that,

yeah, the secret to getting a lot done is time management.

Figuring out how, of all the things that we'd like to do and achieve all the things we have to do,

all the things that demands are on us.

How can we manage to get something done

if we already have a full plate

and we want to do something like learn a language or practice a musical instrument or really you know get in shape,

take up some sport or something, exercise.

Again my personal experience as somebody who's always wanted to do this kind of thing

and do a lot of them and had a lot of aspirations

and felt frustrated by the fact

that there's there's never enough hours in the day to do all that you would want to do,

is to start small, as I've talked about,

you know, the atomic habits type approach of instilling a habit in small chunks is a good way to get something started.

It's very well to be ambitious and say,

I'm going to do something,

but if you haven't done it before and you throw yourself into it

and you try to do too much in a too intense period you tend to burn out

and stop whereas if you can instill a habit by starting small

and maintain it then you'll go a lot further and particularly

when you have languages that you want to learn

or things like languages i think there are a lot of things other things like language

but that's my main area and languages really are when you start learning a language,

it's like planting a plant,

it's a growing thing, you can only rush it so much,

and in point of fact it takes time to grow,

and if you try to go too fast it doesn't really help it too much.

So yeah, I long since discovered that you know

if I look at my day say and I find

that I got an hour or so for a couple of languages

and rather than saying maybe I can only do one of them because I want to do it so intensively,

rather than working in that fashion,

which might be kind of fun and satisfying for a while,

but means I'm not doing any of the other languages or other things,

and probably I won't sustain it,

and sort of it's a stop-and-start method.

Compared to that, really getting a habit going and keeping it up consistently just bears much more fruit.

That's just been my consistent experience.

But what amount of time,

and what does it mean to just say,

you know, if I give it a time period like 15 minutes,

minutes what's what's going on in a 15 minute time period.

15 minutes I think is we all should know can be a very short time period

or a very long time period depending on what you're doing

and how you feel about it and pressures and and how difficult it is.

But in my mind it's a very convenient number you can divide an hour

and specifically to a quarter of it and

if you try to do things in

that amount of time you do them in the right way you turn around

and say wow I actually really achieved a lot maybe not today

but if you can take 15 minutes each and every single day and really

do the same thing in the same way and in an intense fashion in a dedicated focused fashion

you will probably be amazed at what you can achieve I always have

and I got used to it now but still when I think about it,

the ability to take something like a mental growth process,

a stimulation process, like putting new information into your brain

and hoping to have it stay there and congeal and actually grow into something that is you can use.

It's another operating system your brain.

It's a set of other words and sounds that you don't understand

and you come to understand and you come to actually be able to think in them and say them yourself.

That's an amazing feeling, I've always enjoyed that for the process itself.

So that requires doing things,

I believe, at the bottom of my heart,

on a systematic regular basis.

Absolutely the best thing to do is to find a time of day,

carve out a time of day

when you can say this is my time for doing this

and just have that be absolutely dedicated without any question to that purpose.

And then when that time comes to do that with 100% focus,

100% energy, 100% no nonsense,

no ifs, ands or buts.

Establishing that time as a habit is important.

If you've set your time to do something to be at this time,

when that time of day comes around,

you should find yourself doing it and if something prevents you,

you should feel, I want to be doing this and

if you're forced to miss it and you feel like I missed it,

I wanted to do that.

When you have that kind of habit instilled,

if you can really focus and do what you're doing well in that time period,

you will achieve a lot.

And one of the things you may achieve is you might get good enough to realize,

hey, this is not enough time,

I need to put in more time and I'm happy to do that.

I can do it now,

I want to, this is what's important to me.

But in and of itself,

15 minutes is, as we all know,

can be a very short period of time,

a very long period of time,

depending on what we're doing and how we feel about it

and how strenuous it is to us and how stressful it is and all these kind of things.

But 15 minutes as such for languages in particular,

I really do feel is kind of ideal

100

in my experience also as well just in terms of the fact

101

that languages are living things

102

that they need time to grow you can't rush them to too much

103

and so yeah as a point of fact in terms of instilling a new habit

104

and learning a language if you can manage to do it at 15 minutes a day each

105

and every single day at the same time in the same way and the way you do it is a knowledgeable way,

106

an intense focused way.

107

It's not just sitting down for 15 minutes and doing anything and turning around that's going to bring you some results.

108

But if you have a method and a procedure

109

and you go at it with full energy for

110

that period of time

111

and you do it at the same time every day for a period of time over a period of months or years,

112

you will be amazed at what you what you can learn and what you can do.

113

So what is that sort of intense focused way?

114

Well, I don't know quite how to describe that.

115

I have in my academy,

116

I've got a number of courses like this where I take

117

people at the same time every day in the same way

118

and I walk them through the use of a manual

119

and they describe this as sort of a roller coaster because it's going pretty fast and pretty rapid,

120

but I'm a knowledgeable driver and I'm in control of it

121

and I sort of help them establish that

122

and I really feel now looking at my groups of students that wow you know is this something that

123

I'm not just talking about but I'm now actually imparting to people the ability to do this so

124

I guess in a certain sense if I've talked about this before

125

and I know I have and this is an ideal

126

that you've had but you hadn't been able to implement it

127

or figure out what am I supposed to be doing these 15 minutes.

128

A, I've got my best seller,

129

my million view video out there about learning and Latin in 15 minutes

130

and I walk very clearly through the steps and I've got this

131

courses in my academy now that you're welcome to come by

132

and then give them a try to see exactly what's going on

133

but I've tried to apply this other in other areas of my life too,

134

my flute playing and exercising when I fall off a routine

135

and I try to get back into it

136

and yeah 15 minutes is just if we can learn how to manage our lives,

137

learn how to manage our day,

138

get 15 minutes in for anything that we're trying to do

139

and you know just make that a systematic regular habit

140

and go at it with full energy and knowledgeable knowledge of what you're supposed to be doing.

141

I think that the results are really amazing.

142

So give that a thought.

143

It doesn't have to be 15 minutes exactly.

144

15 minutes is a nice convenient time because we can divide the clock into that,

145

but small chunks of time,

146

15-20 minutes a day, each and every single day,

147

the same time, the same way,

148

that really is the secret.

149

So if that appeals to you,

150

if that's the kind of approach that you like to languages,

151

again I encourage you to encourage my,

152

to subscribe to my newsletter and think about

153

popping by my academy at some point to have a visit

154

and see what some of these courses are like and perhaps one of them might be for you.

155

I thank you for listening to me and I will talk to you again next week.

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.
