A Random English Lesson with an Important Message at the End

- 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.
