1
Even if you have cultivated the perfect morning routine, the day can still get ruined.
2
I try my best to remove distractions and set myself up for success, but honestly, I still get distracted sometimes.
3
And I think that's just inevitable because there are distractions everywhere.
4
The problem is that once you start procrastinating, it's really hard to stop because after a while you start thinking, I already wasted a day,
5
so I might as well just start again tomorrow.
6
And I've done that many times.
7
But what I've realized is that restarting tomorrow isn't always the answer.
8
What actually helps is having a way to recover when things go wrong.
9
For me, that starts with breaking the cycle.
10
The first thing I do is accept that it happened.
11
I got distracted and wasted some time.
12
It's not ideal, but there's no point in spending even more time being frustrated about it.
13
If my phone is the problem, I'll just put it somewhere else.
14
Then I do something simple to reset.
15
I don't try to immediately force myself into deep work.
16
I just do something small that changes my state.
17
Sometimes that's going for a walk, doing some pull -ups, or just moving my body for a few minutes.
18
The goal isn't to suddenly become extremely productive, it's just to create some momentum, because once you do one good thing,
19
doing the next becomes much easier.
20
Something else that helps me is thinking of my day in three parts, morning, afternoon, and evening.
21
This means that even if my morning was bad, I don't have to wait until tomorrow to restart.
22
I naturally get another chance after lunch and another in the evening.
23
I think taking a small break to move your body is one of the simplest ways to save always a day.
24
There's actually research showing that movement can improve your mood and focus.
25
But honestly, the biggest reason I believe in it is because I felt the difference myself.
26
Whenever I feel stuck moving my body is usually the fastest way to get back on track
27
because at the end of the day, you can't change what's already happened.
28
You can only decide what to do next.

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。
