Shadowing Practice: How I Manage My Time - 10 Time Management Tips - Learn English Speaking with Video
Ders oluşturuluyor...
1
All right, so over the past 10 years,
2
I have read basically all of the books around productivity and time management.
3
And in that time, there are 10 things that I still use in my life,
4
genuinely use to help make my time management more efficient.
5
Let's talk about them in this video.
6
Tip number one is that we absolutely own all of our time.
7
Now, this is like a big one.
8
When I first had this realization,
9
my life genuinely changed because I used to think I don't have time to do stuff.
10
And I don't know where I read it,
11
but I came across this like,
12
probably like a fortune cookie somewhere,
13
which said something like, at any given moment,
14
you are doing what you most want to be doing.
15
And that was a very empowering thing for me because I was obviously in need of empowerment.
16
And it helped me realize that my time is entirely within my control.
17
Like right now I'm filming this video because I want to be.
18
Earlier today, I spent six hours playing World of Warcraft because that's what I wanted to do.
19
I could not have said,
20
I don't have the time to work out today.
21
Instead, it was a case of,
22
I'm actively choosing not to make the time to work out today.
23
And so when it comes to time management,
24
like step one is always to recognize that we are always in control of our own time.
25
Yes, you might have a boss.
26
Yes, you might have parents telling you what to do,
27
but fundamentally you are in control of your own time and you can choose to do whatever you want with that time.
28
If you don't have the time to do something,
29
that something is just not a priority,
30
which is fine, but don't pretend like the reason you're not doing it is because you genuinely don't have the time.
31
Point number two is the title of this book by Derek Sivers,
32
Hell Yeah or No, What's Worth Doing?
33
Now the vibe here, Hell Yeah or No,
34
it kind of says it all in the title.
35
When we're young and we don't have very many opportunities in our lives,
36
we should probably say yes to the majority of things that are coming our way.
37
But as soon as we get to a point where we're starting to get more inbound leads than we have time available,
38
we start operating with a hell yeah or no maxim.
39
And the idea there is something is either a hell yes
40
or it's a no. And so if I get an email from someone saying,
41
hey, do you wanna do this thing?
42
And I'm thinking, maybe it sounds kind of all right.
43
Then my default position is gonna be no. If I get an email from someone saying,
44
hey, do you wanna do this thing? and I'm like,
45
hell yeah, then I'm gonna do the thing.
46
And I'm trying to get better at using this principle in my life because even now,
47
my calendar is full of a lot of things where I'm like,
48
huh, yeah, kind of, rather than hell yeah too.
49
And I always regret doing it when it comes down.
50
So hell yeah or no,
51
just like learning to be okay with saying no to stuff is another really important principle of time management.
52
Thirdly, there's a tip I picked up from this book called Make Time by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky.
53
And this tip is called the daily highlight.
54
This is like deviously simple.
55
Basically, the idea is that every day we decide this thing,
56
this one thing is gonna be my highlight of the day.
57
This is the only thing I need to get done today.
58
And on the days where I set a daily highlight and I try and do this every day,
59
I always get the thing done and I'm always really happy at the end of the day.
60
But if I have a day where I don't set my daily highlight,
61
then I kind of drown in my to-do list and I have this just image in my head of like,
62
oh yeah, I need to do this and this and this and that.
63
And it's a lot harder to get stuff done.
64
Whereas on days where I have the daily highlight,
65
I have that just one thing that I'm focusing on,
66
you know, this is the most urgent or the most satisfying or the most fun thing I have to do today.
67
And then it just really,
68
really helps with my time management.
69
Tip number four for time management is to use a to-do list.
70
And these days I use a physical to-do list with this analog by Ugmonk, it's very nice.
71
And it's like, you get these like note cards
72
and then you get this like wooden thing
73
and you like put the note card in the thing and it looks like this.
74
And that means like every morning once I figured out what my daily highlight is,
75
I make a list of the other stuff that I have to do
76
that day and I shove it on a list
77
and then I tick them off and cross them off with physical pen as I go throughout my day.
78
It doesn't really matter what system you use for a to-do list,
79
but again, there's a general principle of productivity,
80
which is that our brain is for having ideas, not for holding them.
81
And a big part of why we let stuff slip through the cracks
82
when it comes to managing our time and managing our productivity is because we haven't written them down.
83
And so anytime I need to do something,
84
I write it down into an app.
85
These days I use Roam.
86
But then when I figure out my daily to-do list,
87
it's all based on this analog system by Ugmonk, which is very nice.
88
And it's kind of cool having a physical to-do list in front of me
89
that I can cross things off of and it just feels nice.
90
And yeah, even at work,
91
when I'm working as a doctor,
92
I use physical to-do lists to manage my patient list,
93
to manage my list of tasks.
94
There's something incredibly satisfying about crossing something off,
95
which you just don't get when you use an app.
96
Principle number five for time management is the concept of time blocking.
97
Apparently, this is something that Elon Musk does all the time.
98
And basically the idea there is anytime we need to do something,
99
we put a block for it in our calendar.
100
So I don't like doing this for absolutely everything because I'm a bit of a waste man.
101
And I think the more time I spend managing my productivity system,
102
the less time I spend actually getting stuff done.
103
And then it's just all completely pointless.
104
But the one thing that I always schedule into my calendar at the start of the day is my daily highlight.
105
So if I've decided my daily highlight is filming this video,
106
usually equal,
107
I'll try my best to schedule it into my calendar at the time where I know I'm gonna film the video.
108
If my daily highlight is call my grandma,
109
I will literally scroll schedule it into my calendar.
110
If my daily highlight is make changes to my website,
111
I will schedule it at like for a block in my calendar.
112
And that's like really nice and reassuring because it means that that one thing that I've decided is really,
113
really important is always gonna get done because it's always on the schedule.
114
And then if I need to move it around,
115
I'll move it around if something comes up,
116
but at least it's there on the schedule by default.
117
And this thing where you combine the daily highlight with time blocking it in the calendar is just incredibly useful.
118
Everyone always kind of thinks that like,
119
oh, but only one thing a day,
120
don't you have to do more than that?
121
And yeah, you do kind of have to do more than that in most of our lives.
122
But imagine if every single day for the next year,
123
you could actually do the one thing,
124
the one most important thing to do that day,
125
you'd make a hell of a lot of progress over the course of the year,
126
and it would just be absolutely game-changing.
127
Principle number six is related to something called Parkinson's law,
128
which is that work expands to fill the time that we allocate to it.
129
So if I have to film a YouTube video in a day,
130
and I give myself the whole day to film that YouTube video,
131
inevitably, it's gonna take all day to film the YouTube video.
132
Whereas if I only give myself half an hour or an hour to film the YouTube video,
133
and I fill my day up with other things,
134
then inevitably I get the video done in that small amount of time.
135
And so the actionable advice here is to leverage artificial deadlines,
136
even when it's something like filming a new course.
137
Like, you know, I'm working on a course for YouTube for beginners,
138
where I kind of film and talk you to everything about my YouTube video production process.
139
And this doesn't really have a deadline,
140
like I could literally do it whenever I want.
141
I don't have to do it,
142
it's a purely optional project.
143
But I've set myself the goal that,
144
okay, you know what, I'm going to film all of this course next weekend.
145
And I've blocked out time in my calendar next weekend to film the course.
146
And that's an artificial deadline,
147
which means the course is going to get done.
148
Whereas if I just had it in my mind or in my to-do list without a deadline,
149
without a schedule, it would just inevitably never ever get done.
150
Point number seven is one I've started applying recently and that is having protected time.
151
When you are an entrepreneur and you're like working for yourself and all that kind of stuff,
152
you end up basically being able to set whatever schedule you want.
153
But like if you're like me and you're like making connections and making friends with people all around the internet,
154
you get to a point where your day is filled with lots and lots of Zoom calls.
155
And I realized that for me,
156
I need to keep my mornings completely free of any obligations or any Zoom calls.
157
And this has been an absolute game changer because in the morning,
158
that means I can wake up whenever I want.
159
Usually it's half past eight these days.
160
And it means that for a solid like four hours at least,
161
I've got uninterrupted time where I can do whatever I want.
162
So these days I'm working on writing my book.
163
And so the morning is my protected time for writing.
164
But even on days where I'm not working on the book,
165
it's just genuinely so nice to have
166
that like time slot where I can think about the business
167
or plan some more videos or do the things that help move me forward in my work career.
168
And sometimes if I'm not really feeling it,
169
I'll just decide, you know what,
170
I'm gonna use this protected time to play World of Warcraft
171
or to just kind of relax and read a book on the sofa.
172
So if you're interested in better ways to managing your time,
173
I would recommend figuring out what your protected time is gonna be,
174
time that is just for you and you alone,
175
or World of Warcraft, and not for anyone else where no one is allowed to book something in your schedule.
176
All right, principle number eight is delegation.
177
Now this one is a little bit weird because normally when you say the word delegate,
178
people imagine that, oh, well,
179
I can't afford to delegate something.
180
I don't have enough money to delegate to hire someone.
181
And sure, that's probably true,
182
but the way that I think of it,
183
even when this YouTube channel wasn't successful,
184
was that like, what is actually the dollar value of my time?
185
How much is my time actually worth?
186
And when it came to running my business,
187
I decided that, okay, my time is worth 20 pounds an hour or $25 an hour.
188
And that means that anything I'm doing that I don't enjoy,
189
that I can outsource to someone,
190
that I can delegate for less than $25 an hour,
191
I absolutely should do that.
192
And that principle of delegation has encouraged me to get a cleaner,
193
which has been great, because now we have someone who comes in to clean the house every other week,
194
which means I don't have to do it myself.
195
And back in the day when I was building my businesses from the ground up
196
and there was lots of things that needed to be done,
197
like data entry or things like that,
198
I was able to delegate those to freelancers in like the Philippines or in Bangladesh or in India through upwork.com or fiverr.com.
199
And like paying them like $7 an hour is an amazing like wage for someone for work in the Philippines.
200
But it was fantastic for me because it freed up my time to do things
201
that were adding more value to the business and to my life than doing data entry, for example.
202
And so whatever your circumstances are,
203
I'd encourage you to think about what is the dollar value of your time and potentially,
204
if you want, can you delegate stuff that's cheaper than that to other people potentially.
205
Tip number nine for time management is to try and automate scheduling as much as possible.
206
Now that we're in the world of like Zoom calls and like chatting to people over the internet basically every day,
207
I found I was wasting a lot of time in scheduling back and forth where I'd be like,
208
hey, I want to talk to you,
209
but like, are you free this time,
210
Pacific time, this time Eastern time,
211
this time British standard time,
212
all this kind of stuff.
213
And And we'd go back and forth with emails for like a solid 10 days before anything would get done.
214
But then I discovered an app called Calendly and Calendly is great.
215
It's free for like the free version.
216
I pay for the pro version these days,
217
not sponsoring this video or anything like that.
218
Unfortunately, Calendly, if you're watching this, let me know.
219
But the idea behind Calendly is you can literally send someone a link
220
and it has like all of your availability and they can just book a slot in your calendar.
221
Now this feels a little bit weird to do initially.
222
It feels like a bit of a power move that,
223
hey, book a slot on my calendar.
224
But anytime I get a Calendly link from someone,
225
I'm like, oh my God,
226
I'm so grateful because this has literally saved me 20 minutes of my life,
227
time that I'm never gonna get back in not having to worry about scheduling back and forth emails.
228
Even sometimes these days, when it comes to like catching up with friends,
229
I just send them a calendar link and I'm like,
230
look, so hey man, I'm really sorry,
231
but like, you know, here's a calendar link.
232
I know we're never gonna talk because the schedules are never gonna align,
233
but if there's a time that works for you,
234
click on this link and he books a time and we have a call.
235
And it's nice, because I've caught up with
236
so many more friends in the last few months through using
237
calendar links than I did in the last like three years of having to schedule back and forth with WhatsApp messages.
238
And finally, principle number 10 for time management.
239
And this is something I've only recently started to appreciate,
240
which is that like, when you're like a productivity nerd and you're interested in like efficiency and getting more done,
241
it's very easy for us to get to the end of the day
242
and to just feel chronically dissatisfied with what we've accomplished.
243
Like at the end of the day,
244
it's like, oh, well, I filmed one video today,
245
but I could have filmed five videos.
246
What's wrong with me?
247
I'm such a waste man and kind of internally beating ourselves up about this.
248
But one thing I've started to kind of tell myself recently is
249
that I can choose to be satisfied at the end of the day.
250
At the end of this day,
251
I'll have filmed this video.
252
I was planning to film three more videos,
253
but I didn't get around to doing those.
254
That's fine, I filmed one.
255
I can choose to be satisfied with what I've done,
256
and that's all good.
257
And it doesn't change how much work I've done by me beating myself up about it.
258
It just makes me feel bad.
259
And therefore, I can choose to feel good with how I've managed my time.
260
If you're interested in more strategies on how to manage your time,
261
I actually have three whole online courses themed around productivity and time management that are hosted on Skillshare.
262
No, they're not sponsoring this video,
263
but if you hit the link in the video description,
264
there'll be a link that gives you a free trial to Skillshare where you can check out my three classes on productivity.
265
One of them is about the fundamentals of productivity.
266
One of them is about the productivity equation,
267
which is my personal mental model for productivity.
268
And the third one is one that I released very recently,
269
like last week, around productivity for creators and how we manage our time,
270
doing this like creative high side hustle entrepreneur type stuff.
271
So check that out with the links in the video description.
272
And if you want more tips for time management and general productivity,
273
you should check out my book review and summary of the book,
274
Make Time, which is one of my favorite productivity books of all time and that will be linked right over there.
275
So thank you so much for watching.
276
Have a great day, and I'll see you in the next video.
277
Bye-bye.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
