Short YouTube clip (Hadar Shemesh) encouraging viewers to use brief idle moments (e.g., 1–5 minutes) to practice thinking in English instead of scrolling or watching TV. The speaker suggests concrete mini-activities — observing surroundings, planning next tasks, simulating difficult conversations — explicitly advising doing these exercises in English to build skill.
We have so many moments during the day that are kind of like empty moments where you're waiting for something or you are just bored. And usually what we do is we grab our phone and we scroll through social media or we turn on the tv. So I invite you to take five.
Minutes, three minutes, one minute of instead.
Of doing something on autopilot that you usually do when you.
Get bored, to sit down and deliberately.
Think in English. You can observe your surroundings. You can think about what you need to do next. You can simulate a difficult conversation that you might need to have with someone. You can list all the things that you want to do later today or tomorrow morning, but I encourage you to do it in English.
