We are going to practice speaking English.
Are you ready?
Let's do this, because guess what?
I'm writing a book.
Now, this is going to be a lighthearted script.
We're just going to have fun.
The purpose is to practice speaking English, right?
Now, when I pause, repeat after me.
I've been working on a book I've been working on means I have been writing a book.
I have been writing a book.
I have been working on a book that I'm really excited about, even though technically It's still very much a work in progress.
It's still the book.
It's still very much a work in progress.
That means I'm still working on it.
I'm in the middle of doing it.
It is a work in progress.
Very much so.
And when you emphasize very much, that's saying I'm not making much progress.
Not making much progress.
It's a work in progress.
I'm going to say all of that real quick here.
I've been working on a book that I'm really excited about, even though technically it's still very much a work in progress.
The title is How to Finally Get Organized Tomorrow.
You see how this is lighthearted?
The title of the book is How to Finally Get Organized Tomorrow.
That's going to be a bestseller.
All right.
In this book, I walk you through What I'm convinced is my perfect system.
So in this book, I walk you through, I explain in detail.
If you walk somebody through something, I'm going to walk you through it.
That means you are going to explain it in detail.
Let me walk you through this.
Let me explain it in detail.
So in this book, I walk you through what I'm convinced is.
So if I'm convinced of something, that means I am sure.
I know it.
I'm sure of it.
I'm convinced of it.
I'm convinced that this is the perfect system.
It's the perfect system and I'm convinced of it.
Let me walk you through it.
Okay, step one.
You buy three notebooks.
One is for your plans.
One is for your goals.
And one is for your brilliant ideas.
All right, so you buy three notebooks.
You're going to write in these three notebooks.
One of the notebooks is for your plans.
One is for your goals.
One is for your brilliant ideas.
Okay, you're repeating after me, right?
Then you put all three notebooks neatly on your desk.
Say that.
Then you put all three notebooks neatly on your desk.
Admire how motivated you suddenly feel.
Say that.
Admire how motivated you suddenly feel.
You suddenly feel motivated because you put these three books on your desk, right?
And spend the entire week Just thinking about writing in them.
Yeah, you got these three notebooks.
They're ready to go and then spend the entire week just thinking about writing in them.
Okay.
Next.
I introduce my five minute rule.
In this book, there will be a five minute rule.
It's a great idea.
The idea is simple.
If a task takes less than five minutes, you should do it right away.
If a task takes less than five minutes to do, then you shouldn't wait.
You should do it right now.
You should do it right away.
Yeah, that's the five minute rule.
So in practice, in actual doing, in practice, though, however, here's what usually happens.
So this sentence goes like this.
In practice though, here's what usually happens.
In practice though, here's what usually happens.
First, I spend five minutes thinking about the task.
Then, I spend another five minutes making coffee so I'll be ready to do the task.
All right, repeat after me.
Then I spend another five minutes making coffee, so I'll be ready to do the task.
Okay.
And right when I'm finally about to start, I suddenly remember something.
I suddenly remember something else that feels absolutely urgent.
It feels absolutely urgent and definitely needs my attention right now.
It definitely needs my attention right now.
I must do it now.
It's absolutely urgent.
I just remembered it.
All right, so the last chapter of this book is going to be called.
The last chapter is called chapter 10 the big success story.
Yeah, this chapter is completely blank.
This chapter is still completely blank.
At the top of the page, it simply says, write your success story here.
Write your success story here in this blank page.
My plan was always to come back and fill it in later.
You know, Once I actually had the success story.
You know, we often say it like this.
You know, you know, you know.
You know, once I actually had the success story.
I don't have a success story yet, but you know, once I actually have a success story, then I'll come back and I'll I'll write it, fill it in.
That was the plan.
That was my plan.
My plan was always to come back and fill it in later.
Come back later and fill it in and write in the blank area, write in.
You know, once I actually had the success story.
All right.
Are you mimicking how I say it?

That's what I mean.
But to write a book about getting organized, I'd probably have to get organized first.
