- Come check this out, alright what I'm gonna do is
empty trash, empty trash.
Empyting how many, wow.
This might take some time.
Hello everybody this is Jack from ToFluency.com
the trash just emptied it is complete.
Now the reason I'm doing that is because I've spent
around six hours, yes six hours over the last two days
going through all my files on my laptop
and on my main computer and this is something
I've wanted to do for awhile, sometimes when I opened
up my computer and think about doing something new.
I'm just overwhelmed by the amounts of files there.
Things a little bit crazy, and I wanted to get rid of
a lot of things and to organize everything
so that I can start creating with blank spaces.
Before I talk about why this is important to you
as an english learner let me tell you about
my mornin, I woke up at 6:45 am and I was hopin to
go downstairs to get a cup of tea instead of coffee.
We're gonna talk about that soon, and to sit alone
with my thoughts just to enjoy that cup of tea.
As soon as I started moving my daughter woke up.
And one day soon I will have a morning alone.
From there I did the normal mornin routine,
my son didn't want to put his shoes on he didn't want
to get in the car he didn't want to go to school.
But when he got to school he had a great time.
And he hasn't been to school for a couple
of days because there's been a lot of snow recently.
Well let's just say not that much snow, but the roads
have been icy and I went to the gym, mainly to sit
in the sauna and the steam room to try and clear
this sinus problem yes I'm still suffering
two weeks later, it's difficult to get a doctor's
appointment, but I'm trying new things.
Things like Vitamin A, and Zinc and Garlic
and a few other things that have arrived to our
house today, and then did somethin very excitin
I went through the car wash, our car was dirty.
Because of all the salt and grit on the road
but it was also crazy inside the car.
And luckily today they were givin away free car washes
which made me very happy.
There was no line when I got there but soon the word
got out and there were cars backed up right
to the road of people trying to get
a car wash, so I went through the car wash which
was like a little disco, it was very interestin
and then I vacuumed out the car.
First I had to get rid of a lot of things again
and put things into bags so the car now is organized
my computer's organized I'm pickin up on a theme here
like I said in one of my latest videos, or my latest video.
I'm lookin at minimalism, and organization
so that I can feel more creative and free to go
whichever direction I want to go.
I then sat here for about two hours waitin for
my pain to go away so I took some of this Aleve,
I don't want to take pills all the time but
my god it's been quite painful.
I've called a couple of doctors, they're not taking
new patients so I'm gonna call some more soon.
And finally the pain has gone away and when it does
I feel fantastic, I feel good I feel creative
I feel energetic and motivated.
But you know when you're sick it's difficult
to really do anything because the pain is just too much.
I then had some delicious chicken soup.
And I'm trying to limit the amount of coffee I drink
so I only had one cup, today that's a lie I had two at home
one at the office, which is pretty good for me.
So I'm trying to reduce coffee and milk because apparently
milk is bad for your sinus problems.
I'm not gonna talk about sinuses all the time
because I'm gonna get rid of the sinus problem soon.
And then started lookin at new cameras because I'm
interested in technology and there, my pain was still there
so I didn't feel like doin anything.
And whenever I look at new cameras, I realize this one
that I'm using right now is fantastic,
and I know how to use it and I keep getting better
at using it, so there's no need to get anythin else
right now, though I might be tempted if a new camera
comes out later, in the year.
For the rest of the day I'm goin to edit this video,
which is kind of meta, I'm going to do some language
trainin, pick up my son, get some Sushi,
and hopefully have a lovely evenin at home.
It's actually feeling quite warm outside so I might
spend some time walkin at some point too.
This has been a bit of a different video,
by the way I will leave some of the key words
and phrases that I use in the description.
So that you can learn english in a natural way
which is what we like to do here.
But if you picked up on a bit of the theme,
it's about minimalism, it's about getting rid of
things you don't need and I think when it comes to
learning english this is important too.
Because it's very easy and it's temptin to buy six
books to sign up to different courses, to think about
going away to the UK or America or Malta to take
an immersion course, and sometimes you can go to YouTube
and watch all these videos and you get different types
of advice and you're thinking okay I'll take
a grammar lesson or should I take this type of lesson?
And what I'm tryin to say is do what works for you
create a study plan and stick with it.
Allow it to evolve and change according to what's workin
and what isn't, but don't let other things try
to distract you and also think about creatin a space
at home, at work or elsewhere.
Where you can just focus on working
and get organized if this is stoppin you from
learnin english, I'd love to know your thoughts on this
do you have a place where you study?
Do you have a routine that you have?
Do you sometimes get distracted,
by different types of things?
Please let me know, I want to learn from you so I can
make better videos for you too.
And just again, I'll let you know, I'll leave some
key words and phrases in the description.
So that's been my day, not very productive
I've probably procrastinated quite a bit.
But you know health first, I'm gonna get organized
and then I'm gonna pump out videos and lessons
and podcasts for you guys.
Once the chaotic period is over, and once things
start to become a little bit more routine.
So again happy new year, go watch that video I made
on Tuesday where I talk about goals, and how you can achieve
your fluency goals in 2018.
As ever thank you so much for watchin,
and one last thing be sure to read my comment
I'm gonna leave a comment, which is important
be sure to read it, thank you again.
