well my friends let's dive into the content today we are going to talk about
the impact of being a planner or a doer in the learning process
okay so here today we are going to think about the kind of person we are when we
are studying English and not just English but I think this can help you in
other aspects of your life are you a planner or a doer okay you
know first of all guys why is that important why do you need to know if
you're a planner or a doer why does that matter you know as an English Learner
who is studying alone you will constantly have to fight the ups and
downs in your journey and what is the up and down the moments you feel you are
improving the moments you feel you are stuck when you have problems when you
don't understand or when you feel like you're not moving forward these are the
ups and downs and if you study alone you are doing that alone and that can be
hard and as you start to have problems in your English journey there will come
a time when you will need to make a decision
when you need to choose a path to go to and that's when we start to understand
the difference between a planner and a doer okay so before we talk a little bit
more about the paths you are going to choose from we need to understand what a
planner is okay so what do you think a planner is well basically a planner is a
person who plans but let me put that into a contextualized situation a
planner is a person who always chooses a lot of materials it's a person who
always imagines situations when they we need English they imagine when they are
going to become fluent speakers they're always imagining they choose and follow
many nice teachers you know they're always trying to find English teachers
nice YouTube channels they're really planning the kind of lessons they are
going to watch and this is nice they're always searching for inspiration
they always need to have someone inspiring them okay they always have a
new plan to help them learn English to help them
keep going on their journey toward English fluency so they will always have
a new plan but now you may be thinking I got it planner but how about the doer
what's the difference well basically the doer is always doing something the doer
is always downloading materials here and there the doer is always using something
different the doer is always watching movies TV series getting something
different to study but always putting into practice they are always practicing
English they are always finding a way to use English that's a very key
characteristic of the doer they are always trying to find ways to really use
English and more importantly they really study even when it's not so fun because
let's be honest guys I'm always talking to you about having fun with the
language but sometimes we don't and it's okay it happens sometimes we
don't have with the language but for the doer it
doesn't matter they keep it up even when it's not so fun now that you know what a
planner is and what a doer is why did I say in the beginning that when a student
is having problems in their journey they have to choose between two paths well
because of this these destinations are the planner's path and the doer's path
English learners at some point will have to think about what kind of person they
are in their English journey are they the planners or the doers this
is something that we need to ask ourselves but now is being a planner a
bad thing not really it really depends on how you approach the planning
characteristics if you stop at planning then it's a bad thing okay if
you are always planning always making plans always thinking of different ways
to improve but you're never acting you're never doing something then this
habit of planning and planning and planning may impact negatively your
results so being a planner is not necessarily bad it depends on how you
approach being a planner and if planning is all you do
then yes it's a bad thing and the same goes for doers because being a doer
without a strategy is also a really bad thing if you're just always trying
to do things oh grammar book okay doing a writing book oh let's do it oh that
new strategy that I saw on that website totally doing if you're always doing
things without a clear goal without a clear strategy then you are a terrible
doer I'm sorry don't be sad without any kind of organization you will have a lot
of problems in your journey and you will be wasting your time in your energy and
at some point you will lose motivation just like the planners will but for
different reasons the planners is because they never take
any action they're just planning they stop at planning and they don't do
anything and the doer because they're doing too much and they are not doing
strategic things to improve so both of you taking different paths at some point
will reach the same problem the same place stuck place okay I don't know
if that's a place but hey stuck zone because you both have amazing
characteristics but you're not using it well so consequently you will get stuck
at the same place you will stop at the same place you will arrive at the same
destination stuck zone because you're not using your abilities well now which
one should I be teacher Prix hmm well you need to be a doer with a pinch of
planning okay the problem of many English learners is the lack of balance
if you follow my channel if you watch my videos I'm always talking about balance
so some people are crazy planners without any action and some people are
crazy doers but without any planning we need to find a balance because in both
scenarios the results can be really bad if you are a crazy planner without any
action you will not get the results you want and if you are a crazy doer without
any planning you will not get good results either okay so in both scenarios
you will not have a good result and you can end up feeling very frustrated you
may not achieve the results you want and that's really bad because at some
point you will lose motivation and as an English Learner who studies alone you
always need to be careful about your motivation because you're alone you're
not there with anybody you don't have a teacher helping you in guiding you when
you're studying alone maybe you have me and other teachers on YouTube but at the
end of the day when it's time to study it's only you so if you do this if you
lose balance and become a crazy planner or a crazy doer you
may have problems in the long run like take me for example I plan things a
lot ok I'm always planning planning and planning and planning things but I
noticed that a few months ago I started to notice that I was being too much of a
planner and too little of a doer so I was planning a very nice study
routine the materials I was going to use the kind of exercise that I was going to
do but then when it was action time I was too busy I had things to do I had
clients to attend and I realized that I was becoming a planner only and not a
doer so I analyzed my routine and I started
to make some changes so this happens to everyone ok if you study English this
will happen to you and not just English but with anything you do in your life so
it's important that your that you constantly a check if you're becoming
too much of a planner or too much of a doer without any strategy there's
nothing wrong with being a doer actually I want you to become a doer
but with balance with strategy it's not just about sitting down and doing
exercises for 2 hours without any purpose I have recently talked to a
friend and he told me he was doing this listening exercise for an hour and then
they stopped him right away and I said wow
why for an hour what exactly were you doing and as he started explaining to me
I realized that he was being this kind of crazy doer no he strategy whatsoever
so I told him hey you need a little bit of planning we need to plan what you're
going to do because then you will not waste time and energy you will be more
productive with your results and you will not lose motivation ok so that's
the main message that I want to give you guys tonight
are you a planner or a doer because that will impact your results in the long
term and more importantly it'll make you lose motivation if you're not being
strategic with the way you approach the language in your study routine awesome I
have a question for you guys are you a planner or
Doer what problems are you currently having that are stopping you from being
a doer or maybe you are a crazy doer and you need a little bit of planning so
which one are you I would love to know here in the comments let's participate
tell me what your problems are maybe I can create some videos to give you some
insight of what you can do I created this video because I saw many comments
on my videos where you were showing some kinds of problems like these ones you
know being too much of a planner or too much of a doer
I think this message will help you analyze what kind of person you are
because that is going to impact your learning process and your results as an
English speaker okay thank you so much my friends and I'll
see you next time bye bye
