10 things
2
that can transform your space with the last one being my favorite number one almost a year ago
3
I made a video on transforming my childhood room
4
and one of the best things I added was different lighting
5
this is what my desk looks like with no different light
6
and then boom adding some different lighting just transforms the way
7
this area feels one of the best ways to get better
8
lighting is by adding cool unique lamps look at the areas in your room
9
that are dark and see if you can add some cool lamps to light
10
that area up but why do I need different lighting
11
if I have an overhead light because the overhead light makes your room feel like a hospital
12
Lamps can also change the way a room feels based on how they look physically.
13
For example, if I were to put an old house lamp on my little nightstand right here,
14
it kind of makes this spot look a little older and a little bit more bland.
15
But if I put one of these IKEA lamps right here, it makes it feel a bit more modern and unique.
16
Even the color of the lighting plays a part.
17
You want a warmer feel to your space, you get an orange warmer light.
18
There are also so many other ways to get lighting other than lamps.
19
Art lights, candle warmers, even aquariums work.
20
Number two.
21
Before I started working on my room, I had to find the style I wanted everything to be.
22
One of the most important parts of a room is its theme.
23
For my room, I kind of wanted it to be kind of coastal or whatever you call this.
24
I wanted a lot of lighter wood stuff.
25
Your space has to have some cohesion to it.
26
A theme can be a bunch of different things.
27
Industrial, mid -century, modern, but make it fit that style you picked.
28
I'm not saying you can't add the things you want, but just make it fit with a style.

It makes the room look a lot cleaner.
30
If you want to add something that doesn't really match, add it with something that does.
31
Number three, a small worthless object.
32
One of my favorite parts of my room is all the little things I put in it.
33
Knickknacks.
34
Little things you feel yourselves with.
35
Little details.
36
Look at what you like and add stuff from it.
37
It doesn't even have to be some expensive thing.
38
But adding stuff you think is cool makes the room a whole lot more personal.
39
Little things like a bobblehead.
40
A keyholder.
41
Even just a poster works.
42
Just make it unique to you.
43
Add stuff you like.
44
Number four.
45
When coming up with things I wanted to add to my room, one thing kept coming up a record player.
46
Now mine isn't anything crazy but having a spot to play some form of media can make a room so much cooler.
47
It doesn't have to be music.
48
It can be anything.
49
A reading corner, TV spot, even a little
50
Wii or something.
51
But I find that having some spot for
52
that type of thing adds a lot more depth to a room and again it shows your personality a little bit more.
53
Number five.
54
Most people have hobbies and if you don't you wish you had time to do more hobbies.
55
The thing is you
56
You can make it a lot easier to do your hobbies in how you set up your room.
57
I want to draw more, so I have sketchbooks near my desk.
58
Maybe you want to play more piano, maybe you want to paint more,
59
so put the necessary tools required for those hobbies in a certain spot in your room.
60
Make your hobbies easily accessible.
61
Not only does this help you prioritize your hobbies a little bit more, but it again shows what you like.
62
Number 6.
63
For some reason a few years ago, a ton of people started making these crazy RGB light -up desk setups.
64
I used to love these.
65
Desk setups are one of the most common things in someone's space.
66
A desk is almost like a mini room.
67
Pick a theme, find some lighting, and fill it with what you want.
68
Look again at the style you chose and try to make your desk fit that.
69
For me, I knew I wanted a light wood desk.
70
I wanted a section for books, a monitor, and a few other little things,
71
but I tried to make it still fit the style I was going for.
72
Desk setups don't have to be insane.
73
Obviously, put what you need on it, and along with the desk itself, you have to find a chair that fits.
74
I really like the old light brown leather in some old cars and I found some chairs that kind of fit that.
75
So try to find something that fits your desk.

Mess makes everything harder.

You're less organized.

So make your space functional.
81
Add things that make your life smoother.
82
Maybe that's getting an Alexa to turn things off and on.
83
Maybe it's removing things that distract you.
84
But make it to where your room helps you go towards your goals.
85
If whenever you go into your space you become lazy and distracted that's not a very good spot to be.
86
I'm not saying don't make your room relaxing.
87
Just don't let it affect the good habits you've built.
88
Make you productive in what you want that space to be.
89
Number eight.
90
One of the last things I added to my room was also one of the most important things.
91
Plants.
92
I find that adding even just a little plant somewhere in your room can fill a spot, add some color, and most of the time,
93
they fit in any room.
94
You can make a forest, or you can just add a little plant on your window.
95
Take care of them, though.
96
Don't just let them die.
97
You can even go crazy and make a tiny terrarium.

Baskets, racks, drawers.

Putting a pegboard would be perfect.

There are so many different types of drawers and shelves.
105
Wooden ones, curvy ones, skinny ones.
106
You can add bookends for books, a small TV stand for records, little nooks for mugs.
107
The point is, think outside the box.
108
Number 10.
109
When trying to fill my walls, I knew I wanted some posters.
110
I really like these minimalist type posters, but the posters weren't of stuff I really wanted, so I made my own.
111
One of the coolest things you can add to your room is your art, your own designs, your own creations.
112
It could be a carving on your desk, it could be a poster you made, but put something in your room that you created.
113
It has a story to tell.
114
It's personal.
115
There's a reason you created it.
116
And most of the time, it's one of one.
117
No one else has that.
118
So show it off.
119
When changing your room, your kitchen, your office, whatever it might be, make it something you want to go to.

Make it something you get excited to live in, but add what you want to your room.

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
