ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: How I Consistently Study with a Full Time Job: My Scheduling Formula

This was me in 2019.

But much more interestingly, this was my calendar in 2019.

At the time, I was working five part -time jobs and studying two and a half degrees at once.

And actually, it was quite a blissful time before I even knew that this productivity video sphere even existed.

So all of the tips and techniques

that I was using to manage my time just were coming through myself and through a lot actually of trial and error.

And now, a few years later, I feel much more read on the topic and very interestingly I found

that a lot of the tips and formulas

that I had developed to manage my own schedule were very similar to those

that the literature had found and that experts have found.

So today I thought it would be quite interesting to walk you through exactly how I plan

and schedule my calendar from the bottom up for a very very busy week and showing you all of the rules, the schedules, the formulas and the systems

that I create to kind of make the ideal week happen for me in a way.

These are both evidence -based tips and tips just based on my experience but hopefully they will be helpful to you.

Before we get started, little side note, the ideal calendar in my opinion is having no calendar at all

but if you are forced to have one through your life circumstances like me, hopefully some of the tips in this video might help.

But having said that, don't be too rigid with these structures.

I fully believe that the less structures there are the better.

But okay, let's get started.

So the first thing I will do

when building an effective calendar is be aware of my three -part split for the day.

This is based on the fact that throughout the day two things are guaranteed to be happening.

Number one is that my energy levels will fall throughout the day

and the second thing is that the power of temptation will increase throughout the day

and what I mean by the power of temptation is what

Dan Ariely described as the ability to continuously say no to things diminishes throughout the day as we are doing this.

The way that I like to visualize this is having this huge pot of ability to resist temptation

and every morning I start out with a fresh pot and what this means is I might go to make breakfast, I'm going to make something healthy even though I might want a donut

but I'll say no I'm not going to do this, I'm going to have a good healthy day.

But as I continuously do this throughout the day, the ability to resist things that I actually want to do becomes less

and less and less and this pot becomes smaller and smaller and smaller.

And what happens by the end of the night, for example, you might recognize this if you've been restricting food throughout the day, you'll have a midnight snack by completely raiding the fridge.

So I keep in mind that I'm going to have less energy throughout the day

and things are going to get more and more tempting throughout the day

so it's going to be much harder for me to resist

things as the day progresses keeping these two things in mind

every single day of my week from a macro standpoint gets divided into three main parts

so the first part of every single day is reserved for activities

that are high energy and high temptation these are the tasks

that require a lot of brain power or physical power

and also that i can be very easily tempted to do something else

so tempted to leave things that i'm not enjoying

that much these might be studying for an exam this might be doing a task for work which is not particularly fun.

This might be a huge project that I've just been procrastinating on for

so long because it's not the ideal way that I want to spend my time.

So all of the things

which I don't particularly love to do go into this first part of my day

because this is the part where I am the strictest and the part where I have the most energy.

The second part of the day is reserved activities

which are high energy because I'm still buzzing at this point and also activities that require a little less resistance to do.

So this might be going to the gym for example

because I actually enjoy doing this this might be hanging out with friends

because I really enjoy doing this or fun activities or fun projects

or the fun parts of studying that I would like to engage in

so these go into the second part of my day

and the last part of my day is where I have the lowest energy

and the highest ability to be tempted by other tasks

so this is where procrastination is very easy

so keeping this in mind I'm not going to leave like this huge work project

which I really don't want to do for the last thing at night

because it's almost guaranteed I'm just going to get in bed and think, well, I'll do it tomorrow.

So there's no point in scheduling anything major or not fun for this part of the day.

This is for my personal creative tasks.

This is for things that I would actually like to spend my time on that don't particularly require huge amounts of energy.

These will go into the last part of my day.

So in this way, I keep this rule in mind

and I have like this invisible three -part division of my calendar every time that I'm booking in tasks.

So if I have to do something or if I have to work for something in the week, the first question I will ask myself is how likely am I to not want to do this task

and how much energy will this take?

So depending on these three factors it will either go into any part of my day.

The second rule is the mission impossible rule

and this was a new one for me

because I'm definitely the sort of person who

if I put something on my to -do list I want to and I physically need to get it done.

I will not go to sleep until I've ticked everything off and this used to be my behavior in the past.

However I've realized that this is not only a bit problematic, I'm sure you can see why, but also it's not ideal even for the tasks

that i am doing this very interesting study in 1927 done

by z zegnark zignark basically said our brains tend to stay occupied with a task until this task is completed

and what this means is if you start something

but you haven't finished it there will be a part of your brain that's continuously focusing on

that task and you can use this to your advantage

if there is a huge project like for example a essay

that i want to write or if you want to write a book

or if you want to do something really really big that takes a lot of time

it's really good to put a time in your calendar just to remind yourself that this project exists.

So for example, even though I don't write my newsletter strictly every single week, I do have a reminder in my calendar every week for it.

Because what that does is throughout the week, as I look at my calendar and I see the reminder of, oh, I need to write a newsletter, it will open up this task in my brain.

And even though I'm not consciously thinking about it, randomly throughout the day as I'm working or as I'm in the shower, it might just pop into my mind again and I'll go, oh, what should I do for my newsletter?

And equally, if there's something huge that, for example, I want to start a course, I want to do something big that I don't have a strict deadline for, but it's a huge task,

I'm going to just put this random deadlines in my calendar just to remind myself

that the task exists and to open this in my mind.

Getting comfortable with not accomplishing tasks and using a calendar more as an inspiration

and a guide as to what I want to spend my life with tends to be really, really helpful.

And I found that going from not putting things in my calendar, if I'm afraid that I won't complete them because it will really bother me, to actually putting them in my calendar, knowing that this is a mission impossible,

that I'm not actually going to do this much more helpful

because I end up doing those things much more if I put them in my calendar anyways.

The mission impossible is also something that I keep in mind when I'm doing a task anyway.

In a study done by Fishnark it found that

if you are continuously doing things that you don't enjoy

100

or forcing yourself to do work

101

when you're finding it unenjoyable it can lead in the long term to procrastination or failure on this tasks.

102

So I keep this in mind a lot once something is too painful or not fun or not enjoyable I just stop.

103

I used to be very good

104

and very proud of myself for overriding my stop stop stop in my mind now I'm like no

105

if I'm not enjoying this we're done we're taking a break we're moving on I don't care

106

that I've blotted out in my calendar

107

if it's not good enough then I'm going to find time

108

for it at a productive time later in the day

109

or the week but not overriding the signals of your brain going

110

that I must do this because I thought I needed to is I found in the long term much more healthier.

111

Next rule is the PR rule and I call it this

112

because both Parkinson and Roosevelt come to the same conclusion

113

and it basically just states that work expands to fill the time that you allocate to it.

114

So it's quite a well -known rule but I use it in a bit of a different way.

115

So what this basically means is if I say

116

that I'm going to write my essay in three weeks

117

or I'm going to write my essay in five months or I'm going to write my essay in three days, very often the quality of the work is not going to be too different in these three different forms.

118

So if you give yourself a very very strict

119

and ridiculous deadline sometimes you will end up doing a lot more than you expected.

120

So this is one way around it.

121

If you have a huge task, sometimes

122

if I have to do something like create a sales page

123

I will give myself two hours to do it in my calendar

124

and I'm going to put myself in the mindset of I'm forced to do this now in this time only

125

and then I will get

126

so much more done rather than booking out a 10 hour shift for one day

127

and going like oh I'm just going to do this slowly

128

and get lunch and then do this again which I mean is fine

129

but I get a lot less done even in 10 hours

130

than I get with a very intentional two hour stint

131

and then just having fun for the rest of the time so this tends to work very well for me.

132

Another thing that I do around the PR role is that I will not book work in my calendar.

133

I will only book the finished product in my calendar.

134

So what I mean, for example, is that if I have to film this video, there's a lot of steps that go into it.

135

So I have to research, I have to think of title, I need to think of thumbnail, I need to think and edit the hook, I need to actually script the whole thing, I need to do the research on the studies, I need to put it together,

136

I need to actually sit down and film it, I need to export it, edit it, add the extra layers of editing, which takes so long, and then export it, and then make it ready, and then put the descriptions and all that stuff

137

if I had to book all of these different events in my calendar it's almost guaranteed

138

that I'm just not going to do some of them so

139

if I just have this slot in my calendar for edit this video I might come to

140

that time and be like oh I can do this later it doesn't matter

141

so I put none of this in my calendar the only thing I will put is let's say

142

that the video is due to be published on Tuesday on

143

Tuesday I'll put a day event of saying publish the video on calendar scheduling

144

and what this does is that it gives me full freedom

145

but also a lot of forced deadline to get this thing done by then.

146

So I'm telling myself, I don't care when you do this.

147

I don't care when you find the time, like just do it whenever, however fast or slowly you want to do it.

148

I just know that it needs to be done by this time.

149

And that puts me under a lot more kind of positive pressure to do it

150

and gives me a lot more freedom rather than allocating all of these slots in the calendar, which just fill up and clog up the whole thing.

151

And also because they're such small insignificant tasks, I can very easily go, oh, I can do this edit when I do the export, or I can do this thing when I do that thing later and end up doing nothing.

152

So giving yourself full freedom with very strict finish only deadlines I think is a great way to get more things done.

153

The next rule is a morning glory rule and I really really like this because this is from Jigson Mihaly.

154

I'm so sorry I've tried this so many times before

155

but basically what he did was that he stated that people

156

that were very creative and very effective in their lives always started their day with something

157

that they were looking forward to even something tiny.

158

It can be like buying your favorite coffee every morning

159

or it can be making yourself your favorite breakfast

160

or calling a loved one

161

or just having five minutes to yourself outside in the sun drinking your tea in the morning

162

so it can be anything really really small but having something

163

that doesn't necessarily need to go in your calendar

164

but can go in your mind for what you want to

165

do the next morning will make you enjoy your day a lot more

166

and he says

167

if you get into the habits of this your day will eventually be filled by things

168

that you are only looking forward to

169

so I take this rule very much to heart every morning I plan something

170

that I will enjoy so that's usually a slow breakfast by myself for me but whatever it is, I know that there is going to be planning around this time, this sacred time in the morning.

171

That might even be 15 minutes or five minutes, but there is this time, so anything that I will start to schedule in will be after this morning time for myself.

172

Next is the fun factor, and this is my favourite part of the calendar.

173

It's something that I've only started doing very recently.

174

I think Ali mentions the fun factor, and I'm not sure what he means by it, but I thought it was very appropriate to describe this.

175

There's this quote by Daniel Priestley that says that good nature is the result of ease and security, not a life of arduous struggle.

176

So some struggle cannot be avoided but the struggles

177

that we can avoid and the self -imposed kind of work

178

that we need to do might actually be affecting us negatively in the long term

179

so I've made it a rule to force myself to do activities

180

that are fun either by myself or with other people every single week and I'm very very aware of this.

181

I can be the sort of person who can forget to socialize

182

or can forget to interact with people quite easily sometimes especially

183

when I get very very kind of caught up in work

184

or I might just paint for days in a row and completely forget to interact with even my flatmate.

185

So I have to force myself to do this.

186

So in my calendar I will book, for example, I'm going to go to a gallery by myself

187

or I'm going to have dinner with friends

188

or I'm going to go to the movie by myself

189

or the movies with someone else or I'm going to have a nice time with someone.

190

Those will be physically blocked into my calendar and as I have an overview of my calendar every week I will go, okay, there's a healthy balance here of social activity.

191

It will usually have a different colour to the rest of the things

192

that I am booking in

193

but it tends to be my favorite part every time I

194

look at my calendar it looks happy it looks excited

195

and also it kind of means

196

that it's not just work in there I don't tend to

197

hate it it's not like this oh this terrible thing

198

that dictates my life

199

and just schedules all my work things it's kind of my life on a screen in a positive way

200

because I can organize it and put in whatever I want

201

so do not forget the fun factor even

202

if it's just taking time every evening for yourself

203

but I quite am a huge fan of spending time with other people

204

so hosting a kind of board games night at your house or someone else's house a dinner, a dinner by yourself outside, anything can be done.

205

So I would really recommend not forgetting the fun factor in your calendar scheduling.

206

Lastly, we go into strategic over planning and Atul Gawande said that not only are we easily distracted by mundane thoughts,

207

but we also routinely forget small but important things when we don't externalise them.

208

So it's quite important to take all our things

209

that we want to do and the things that we are planning to do and kind of write them down, either as a to -do list somewhere.

210

I like just pulling up my calendar and finding a slot somewhere to think about something or to do something, a very easy way to organize my life.

211

I no longer keep to -do lists actually, I just put everything in my calendar when I want it to be done

212

or even if it's like four weeks down the line, get back in touch with this person, even if it doesn't happen, when it comes up four weeks later I can go oh

213

like in a week would be a good time to meet this person.

214

So it's quite good to have these slots in there

215

and use your calendar to kind of accompany you in life rather than just these strictly booked things.

216

And don't be afraid to overbook.

217

It kind of relieves your brain of having to memorize so many things and keep so many things stored.

218

And also, it just helps you kind of have things in place.

219

And once they're there, it's actually that much more likely to do them.

220

If you're also a fan of optimizing things for your brain or better understanding it at all, a brilliant documentary that I would recommend is The Curious Brain on CuriosityStream,

221

which I'm very kindly sponsoring this video this is a very cool documentary series

222

that kind of goes into different aspects of how our brain works how it organizes information

223

and thought how it interacts in society

224

and it's been really really informative even as someone who spends a lot of time reading

225

and thinking about my mind there's been so much that i've learned

226

and restructured through this documentary so i would really recommend it as a wonderful watch

227

if you want to check out who esti stream you also get access to nebula

228

which is a streaming platform where a lot of educational creators put our videos together

229

so you get an ad -free experience of all of these videos

230

and much more nebula specials which are very informative educational

231

and interesting the yodi subscription for both of these together is literally the price of a takeaway

232

and it will be linked in my description you will have a discount to get access to those

233

if you want to join me on nebula but otherwise thank you

234

so much if you made it

235

so far i hope you have a wonderful rest of your day be kind to yourself

236

and others and do everything you think thanks bye
