1
Hi, I'm Valerie and I spend an embarrassing amount of time on my phone.
2
I have a feeling if you're watching this,
3
you are probably also completely and incredibly self-aware that you have a screen time problem too.
4
But it's okay.
5
We are certainly not alone.
6
The average American spends about five hours a day on their phone every single day,
7
which is 35 hours a week.
8
Absolutely crazy.
9
I am basically working a full-time job for my phone and it's not even paying me.
10
Guys.
11
After this humbling realization
12
that i'm on my phone for 35 hours a week I decided to do something about it
13
So i'm gonna make a list because in the moment
14
when i'm bored or tired
15
or just on autopilot My brain just goes completely blank I
16
genuinely can't think of what to do besides reach for this
17
We're going to intentionally write down what we can do instead
18
of being on our phone I wrote down five things on
19
my list since five felt doable I chose things I actually enjoy
20
that I somehow keep forgetting that I enjoy First is coloring.
21
I used to draw so much when I was younger However,
22
I literally haven't picked up a pencil in like eight years Honestly,
23
what actually got me back into it is a little silly I got really into smiskies,
24
which sounds random They're so cute
25
and I want all of them The problem is they're not cheap
26
and I cannot justify spending that much on these tiny little guys
27
So I decided to just draw one and color it in myself It kind of scratched the same exact itch,
28
but I made it and then I made another one Second cook a full proper meal
29
because my current situation is Instant ramen
30
or what I can only describe as a girl dinner of a few chicken nuggets and gummies,
31
which is acceptable, but probably not the most sustainable or healthy.
32
I was inspired to make Gildan the other day from scratch,
33
and it was so freaking good.
34
I ended up making it another three times afterwards.
35
Third, journaling.
36
It has genuinely helped me a lot throughout my life,
37
and I just kind of dropped it.
38
I just want to reach for it before I reach for my phone,
39
even if it's just once a day.
40
Fourth, go on a walk outside with fresh air,
41
maybe even no headphones, and I live really close to the beach,
42
which is such a privilege,
43
and I am not using it because I barely go,
44
and that feels like something I should fix.
45
Fifth is explore a new neighborhood,
46
and even though I'm excited to just check out a local cafe,
47
browse cute shops, walk around with no agenda really,
48
it scares me a little.
49
Just showing up somewhere I don't know with no real plan,
50
but I think that's kind of the point.
51
All things I somehow completely forget I love the second I'm on my couch with my phone in my hand.
52
Guys, it's 11 p.m and it is one of those times where I really want to go on my phone
53
Except we're not gonna do that instead.
54
We're gonna consult the list However,
55
this list Is not giving me very much Dopamine which means only one thing
56
We're gonna make a dopamine menu and we're gonna make it cute
57
and wonderful to look at because otherwise I'm not gonna look at it,
58
let alone use it So we're going to design this all out on canva
59
and I know it's ironic
60
that i'm using screens I'm literally using two screens on my monitor to make this
61
but down the line I'm hoping
62
that this will help with being on my phone less 11 p.m Is kind of this danger zone
63
when I disappear into my phone for two hours fall asleep
64
And then before i've even fully opened my eyes the next
65
morning i'm back on it again for most americans Their phone is the last thing they see at night
66
and the first thing they see in the morning
67
So i'm creating this do with me menu because
68
when I have the urge to scroll i'll whip this out instead A dopamine menu was this term
69
that I noticed floating around since last year.
70
It's basically a personalized list of activities that you can do in the moment instead of scrolling on your phone.
71
When I looked at my little list,
72
I realized five things is a start,
73
but it isn't quite enough because some days I have lots of energy and some days I have absolutely none,
74
so the list needed levels.
75
Instead of scrolling, I opened my laptop and started designing my dopamine menu with a cafe theme.
76
Sips for when you have 5 to 15 minutes,
77
full spread for when you have more than 45 minutes,
78
when you actually have time and energy to invest in yourself.
79
Pastries because not everything in life is fun Sometimes you have to do things you don't really want to do
80
But you can make them nicer A cute drink,
81
a candle, changing your scenery They're all the things
82
that make the necessary stuff a little more enjoyable Desserts are
83
your intentional treats Watching a movie you've been saving an actual dessert The difference between dessert and scrolling is intention And specials,
84
these are the big ones The irregular ones like a concert,
85
a beach day, exploring somewhere new Things that don't happen every week
86
but that you actually want to show up for There's something for every mood,
87
every energy level every version of me
88
that reaches for her phone out of habit
89
and every time i want to scroll this is what i'm reaching for instead the real problem isn't just
90
that we're on our phones a lot it's that scrolling has replaced
91
so many other things like going outside doodling
92
and drawing for fun exploring different hobbies just hanging out with
93
friends sitting with their own thoughts crazy i know without immediately
94
reaching for something to distract us from said thoughts it became just
95
so much easier to reach for our phones every time you scroll your brain gets a little hit of dopamine instantly,
96
and these apps are literally designed to keep you on them for as long as possible.
97
And when you finally get home after a full day of being on,
98
being productive, being a functioning human being,
99
sometimes the only thing your brain feels like it has the capacity for is literally nothing.
100
Just laying there and not thinking.
101
It may look lazy from the outside,
102
but that's your nervous system seeking rest.
103
And the problem is scrolling isn't actually true rest it just
104
feels like it in the moment scrolling keeps your brain in this sort of low-grade state of stimulation
105
so your stress response stays slightly elevated which means you're not actually recovering
106
but just idling real rest the kind
107
that actually fills you up tends to involve doing something light
108
and creative something
109
that puts you back in your body like a walk making something with your hands stuff
110
that sounds more tiring than scrolling but leaves you feeling more refreshed
111
and like yourself afterward so it's not just about using our phones less it's about replacing
112
that time with things that actually mean something to us
113
because our time is kind of everything what do you think y'all? it took me quite some time
114
and effort but i appreciate looking at this
115
so i think it was worth all the time invested into
116
it even though i'm afraid i won't ever look at it again
117
but the process of making this was very enjoyable for me this brings me
118
so much dopamine i was gonna say bring you so much joy
119
but then it's a dopamine cafe menu so I finished my dopamine menu.
120
It took so freaking long This took me an absurd amount of time,
121
but I am very happy with how it turned out
122
Despite it probably taking me six to eight hours I don't know why I didn't just decide to print it.
123
Let me just walk you through it.
124
Shall I?
125
Yes, okay, so there's a lot on here
126
and that's exactly the beauty of the dopamine cafe
127
because you can use your free will to choose whatever option at any given moment.
128
Sips, I've been making my own drinks at home.
129
Matcha with an Earl Grey syrup that is homemade and with a cold foam on top.
130
Does it taste exactly like the cafe version?
131
Not quite, but it's getting there.
132
Honestly, the ritual of making it is so satisfying.
133
Full spread, one of them is sitting down for a proper reading sesh.
134
This has honestly become one of my favorite ways to spend time off my foam.
135
There's something about getting completely lost in a good story for an hour that no amount of scrolling has ever given me.
136
My Kindle has been getting the screen time in desserts.
137
Pastries, like an accountability buddy or body doubling.
138
Body doubling?
139
Body doubling?
140
Body doubling.
141
Oh my.
142
Basically doing work alongside friends in a different environment.
143
We went to a cafe,
144
got our drinks, got stuff done.
145
It didn't feel like work.
146
It felt like a chill hangout on a Friday afternoon.
147
Desserts, I baked matcha muffins.
148
For myself and for some friends on a Saturday morning with nowhere to be.
149
And it was just cozy.
150
The kind of cozy that actually fills you up
151
because you get to make something and enjoy eating what you make End specials,
152
going to the beach, which I live embarrassingly close to
153
And I keep saying I will go and I'm really trying to We played spike ball,
154
dipped our toes in the water,
155
watched the sunset And I just kept thinking this was always here
156
and it is absolutely amazing being here But I just kept choosing to stay inside on my phone instead Okay,
157
so I'm currently editing the video And y'all are probably wondering
158
if creating this dopamine cafe has affected my screen time at all and I am pleased to report it has helped.
159
The week I made it,
160
my screen time was about 4 hours and 24 minutes and this week,
161
about 3 weeks later, it is 2 hours and 46 minutes which is a 37% decrease.
162
I'd say it's fabulous and it was around like 15% less every week until this week.
163
Granted, this week is not over yet
164
so there's still one more day of the week
165
but I'd also like to mention that my second most used app is Google Maps
166
So basically I wasn't actively using my phone.
167
I just happened to have it open when I was driving.
168
Looking back, I didn't feel like I was in the right headspace mentally
169
and it was almost directly correlated with how much screen time I had on my phone.
170
And now I do feel significantly better just being able to
171
rediscover what I enjoy doing with my free time instead of just being on my phone.
172
I wouldn't say that the dogmi menu completely changed my life,
173
But it's this tool that has really helped me be more intentional with my time So if it is 11 p.m.
174
At night
175
and you happen to be watching this video on your phone
176
I think this might be a sign to try it out
177
and make a dopamine menu
178
or dopamine cafe of your own Make it personalized make it yours and just have fun with it

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
