don't go to the gym only two or three times a week doing a big program, a big exercise, I go every day for 20 to 30 minutes. I don't try, as I did before, to only go jogging every Sunday, I try to walk every day from Monday to Sunday. So I try to do less but more often and do it in fact automatically. So you can really apply this to all your learning, eh, learning French, all the other things you learn. I also use it in the education of my children. You can use this concept of kaizen to everything. We are really in the translation of great ideas into life principles and you apply that to daily life in the form of habits.
And for me, habits are taking care of my sleep, taking care of what I eat, walking, etc. I also have some productivity rules to do quality work every day without necessarily killing myself at work. So you can really apply it to everything.
When it comes to diet, it's better to stick to a diet or philosophy in the long term than to watch a TikTok video and say, "I'm going to follow this person," and two weeks later, say, "Well, no, that doesn't work, I'm going to follow someone else." for natural learning. Natural language learning, I'm talking about or quoting natural language learning. It's the same for organizational tools. I've had a paid subscription to the Evernote app since 2010.
Of course, like everyone else, I fall into some... what the Anglo-Saxons call the "shiny object", so the shiny object that attracts us there and says to us: "Oh, you've been using sweden whatsapp number data Evernote since 2010? Come on. I have a new system, it's called Notion. It's prettier, it's better". And of course, from time to time, I'll fall into the trap, I'll try and I'll realize that my old system was better. So I really try to have this long-term vision.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't explore, it doesn't mean you shouldn't test, it doesn't mean you shouldn't find out about new things, but there's no point in constantly shaking everything up and saying "we're going to make a big change" to actually make things better.
And so, this philosophy that I've been talking to you about for a while now, I remind you that we're talking about the long term here and I'm telling you that only the long term can really bring results, it pushes us to... or in any case, personally, it pushes me not to be an early adopter. We also talk in jargon, because today we tend to use all the American terms, but we talk about "early adopters". An early adopter is someone who will say: "There's something new. I'm going to adopt it right away". But I let others test it.
And I remember very well, 5-6 years ago, there were all the creators who started using a tool called Periscope. Periscope was the first tool that allowed you to do live broadcasts with your audience. So everyone was getting into it, everyone I followed was getting into it, they all invested a lot of time. And finally, the platform died. There was Snapchat too. So there, I tested it just for fun, but some people tried to build their entire business on Snapchat and it didn't work.
So you see, I prefer to let people test, test Periscope, test Snapchat. Today, everyone is talking about ChatGPT with artificial intelligence. And what I find great is that it's never too late to ride a wave. If ever ChatGPT becomes the next Google, becomes something huge, of course, I will use it, but I don't need to do all the tests and use it when it doesn't work very well yet in fact.
If you look at it, today, few people were early adopters of Google, WhatsApp, Facebook. Yet, everyone uses them today. So that's why I think it's better for us, on our side, to follow our main principles and adapt. We don't need to be testing the latest new things all the time.
