1
I have vivid memories of sitting outside my backyard and being like, Em, just go write for 30 minutes,
2
fully knowing that it needed to be longer, but I would lie to myself because I know that the dopamine doesn't come before you start.
3
It comes after the first 10 minutes, after your brain has evidence of progress, and progress boosts dopamine, which boosts motivation,
4
which then in turn boosts momentum and actually motivates you to continue to work.
5
Okay, so I would lie to myself and be like, just work for about 30 minutes, and then I would write for 30 minutes,
6
and then the dopamine would hit, and then I would end up writing for 10 hours.
7
Maybe you're thinking, Em, all I need to do is write an email.
8
It's such a small thing already.
9
I had somebody in Minecraft ask me the exact same question on a call once.
10
She said, all I need to do is write an email.
11
And I said to her, no, all you need to do is write one sentence.
12
I know people, including some past versions of myself, where I would avoid even sending a text.
13
You don't need to send that text.
14
You need to write one word.
15
I promise you, when you break the task down into the smallest little piece,
16
the smallest little cookie crumb it will help you to actually initiate the task
17
and start and that is going to make you unstoppable

需要注意的發音
說話人用了 3 次縮略和弱讀形式，例如 doesn't, don't, you're。請按聽到的簡短形式來說。
- “sh” 和 “zh” 音: motivation /ˈmoʊ.tə.veɪ.ʃən/, initiate /ɪˈnɪʃ.i.eɪt/
- 長單詞——注意重音位置: motivation /ˈmoʊ.tə.veɪ.ʃən/, momentum /ˌmə(ʊ)ˈmɛntəm/, initiate /ɪˈnɪʃ.i.eɪt/, unstoppable /ʌnˈstɔ.pə.bəl/
中文母語者容易讀錯的音：
- /v/ — 不要讀成 /w/，上齒輕觸下唇: motivation /ˈmoʊ.tə.veɪ.ʃən/, vivid /ˈvɪvɪd/, motivate /ˈmoʊ.tɪ.veɪt/
- 詞尾子音 — 要讀清楚，後面不要加母音: boost /buːst/, backyard /bækˈjɑːd/, vivid /ˈvɪvɪd/, initiate /ɪˈnɪʃ.i.eɪt/, motivate /ˈmoʊ.tɪ.veɪt/
- /æ/ — 嘴張大，不要讀成 /e/: backyard /bækˈjɑːd/, task /tæsk/, exact /ɪɡˈzækt/
如何用這段影片練習
- 先完整聽一遍影片，不要開口，記下不認識的單詞。
- 先用 0.75 倍速逐句跟讀，熟練之後再回到正常速度。
- 錄下自己的聲音並與原聲對比，特別注意 motivation, cookie, momentum 這類單詞。
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。
