Advertisement | How to write a Classified Ad | Format | Example | Exercise | Class 12
Hello Friends, Welcome to Free Writing lessons. In this video, we will learn all about advertisement writing. First, we will learn what is an advertisement? Then, we will look into the format of it. and finally, we will understand it with an example.
So without further ado, let's get started. What is an advertisement? An advertisement (often called an ad) is the promotion of a product or service. Have you seen a post of Job Openings in newspapers, or video of your favorite chocolates on television, or post or videos of online courses on digital platforms like Facebook, youtube? These all are forms of advertisements.
So, Why is it done? It is a guaranteed method of reaching an audience as it attracts interest, engagement, and sales in public. There are mainly two types of advertisement, 1. Classified Ads 2. Commercial or Display Ads Classified ads are used by the general public to promote or use services.
The main aim here is to get things noticed with as minimum words as possible which is generally less than 50 words. It is simple in look. On the other hand commercial or display, advertisement is done by leading organizations to promote their product or services. It takes more words and is more expensive in terms of advertising cost. it is visually more attractive with varying font, shape, and size.
Let me explain to you with an example of selling a car. This is an example of a Classified Ad and This is an example of a Commercial Ad. Now, you would have got an idea that how these two ads differ. Today, we will learn all about Classified Ads. There are seven types of Classified Ads mainly asked in exams,
1.Situation Vacant This advertisement is written by an employer who is looking for the services of a person in his organization.E.g, if an IT company wants a Computer Engineer, then the advertisement that they will publish will be 'Situation Vacant'
2. Situation Wanted This is written by a person who whats a job. e.g, if you have completed your Computer Engineering, and now you want a Job, then the advertisement that you will publish will be 'Situation Wanted'
3. Lost and found This is written in case any object/person/pet goes missing giving descriptive details for the same. e.g, you lost your bag which contains all the certificates then the advertisement that you will publish will be of 'Lost and Found
4. For Sale This is written in an attempt to sell property, assets, office goods, etc.e.g, you want to sell your office then the advertisement that you will publish will be ' For Sale'
5. To Let This is written by a person looking for tenants for his/her property. e.g, you want to give a home on rent then the advertisement that you will publish will be 'To Let'
6.Accommodation wanted This is written by the ones looking for a place for accommodation. e.g, you want to a home on rent then the advertisement that you will publish will be of 'Accommodation Wanted'
7. Matrimonials This is written while looking for prospective marriage candidates e.g, you are looking for a suitable groom for your sister then the advertisement that you will publish will be of 'Groom Wanted' So, these are some of the types of Classified Ads.
Now, Let's learn the format of Classified Ads. The format of the Classified Ad is simple. There are three things involved in it.
1. heading First, write the Heading of the Ad at the center of the page in capita; letter.
2. Content Next, write the content of your advertisement in not more than 50 words.
3. Contact Person At Last, add the name of the contact person whom to contact if applicable. All this must be covered by a rectangular box.
Again, I will repeat quickly.
1.First, write the heading of Ad
2.Next, Add the content of the Ad.
3.Finally, write the name of the person to Contact. All this must be covered by a rectangular box. Let's look into an example to understand this format.
The question is :
You are the Principal of Delhi Public School, Ahmedabad. Draft an advertisement for a newspaper under the column-Situation Vacant inviting application for the post of English Teacher in your school.
1. First step is to write the heading. As the principal is offering a job, the heading will be: Situation Vacant
2. Next comes the actual content, Here you need to add the qualification, experience, salary, male or female preference, and key skills in not more than 50 words. So, the content will be something like this : Wanted an English teacher, male or female for our School, Qualification: B.
Ed with minimum experience two years, Fluency in English speaking is a must, with good Grammar and writing skills. Salary negotiable. Apply within one week with a detailed resume. 3. Last come the name and contact details of the person.
Contact: The Principal, DPS, Ahmedabad : xyz@dps.com Finally, draw a rectangular box around the advertisement. So, this is an example of Classified Ads. As there are different kinds of ads you have to mold your heading and content based on the question. Now, I am giving you an exercise to practice.
The question is : You are the Principal of Government Engineering College, Mumbai. Draft an advertisement for a newspaper under the column-Situation Vacant inviting application for the post of Librarian in your College. That's all in this video.
Let's quickly revise what we learned in this lesson. First, we understood what is an advertisement.
An advertisement (often called an ad) is the promotion of a product or service. Advertisements are majorly done in newspapers and magazines, over radio or television, or in today's world on digital platforms like Facebook, youtube, Instagrams, There are mainly two kinds of advertisement, 1. Classified Ads: used by the general masses to promote or use services. 2. Commercial or Display Ads: done by leading manufacturers, establishments, organizations to promote their product or services.
Next, we understood the seven types of Classified Ads mainly asked in exams, 1. Situation Vacant 2. Situation Wanted 3. Lost and found 4. For Sale 5.
To Let 6. Accommodation wanted 7. Matrimonials Then, we understood the format of classified ads. It includes, 1.
Heading 2.content of the ad. 3. contact person It is wrapped inside a rectangular box. We understood this format with the help of an example. And Finally, I gave you an exercise to practice.

SharePoint Tutorial - LIST CREATION and types
SharePoint Tutorial - LIST CREATION and types
A SharePoint List is a collection of information. Like tables in Excel or in a database. Lists consists of rows of columns that contain data. SharePoint Online includes a number of standard lists that are frequently used in sites. For example, there's a list for announcements, a list app for calendar and for contacts.
And calendar and contacts are special because they can be synchronized with Microsoft Outlook. So you can have a calendar that's in SharePoint that every single member of your team can also display in their own Outlook. Links Lists are designed to make it easy for users to jump directly to a resource online. Issue Tracking Lists are used to submit, prioritize, assign, and track work on issues, and they're used in a variety of settings, from IT help desks to tracking hotel guest room maintenance.
The Tasks List is a to-do list for a team.
And all of these are apps that are available in SharePoint, and most of them have been for a very long time. You'll also see lists that come from a totally different source. Because Microsoft has made a big investment in lists. And there are new lists that are available, not just here in SharePoint, but in Microsoft Teams and in Microsoft List itself. At this point we have eight templates that are available for Microsoft List.
So you may be working with an Asset Manager List, Content Scheduler, Employee Onboarding, Event Itinerary, Issue Tracker, Recruitment Tracker, Travel Requests, which I'll show you an example of in a moment, and Work Progress Tracker.
The Microsoft 365 Lists are really built on SharePoint Lists. And as a matter of fact, if you're using a Microsoft 365 List in Microsoft Teams or elsewhere, the data's going to be stored in SharePoint. But most of them give you even more of a headstart than the traditional List apps do. And if none of these Lists from Microsoft 365 lists or from the SharePoint List apps were exactly what was needed to meet your organization's business requirements, then someone in your organization can create a custom list.
Either from scratch, or from Excel, or from an an existing list. I'd like to show you a couple of lists so you can see what they look like. This is the travel requests list in residential sales. And just a few things about it, let me know that this is probably a Microsoft List. The way the requester is presented.
The circle around the airline, whether it's approved or not being formatted.
Let me show you a more traditional list. This is a custom list that was created because the asset inventory wasn't exactly what we wanted. And this list was created originally in Microsoft Excel, and that Excel table was used to create this custom list in SharePoint Online. You don't need to know how a list was created in SharePoint in order to use it.
Regardless of the type of list you're using or its genesis, the processes and tools used to work with items unless are the same. There are a couple of ways we'll enter a new item in a list. The first is simply to click the new button and a form will open. And this is a form that's designed particularly for this list. And so I'm prompted for a trip title.
And I'm going to enter Detroit, December 17th, 2020.
And the reason is going to be, to view a solar install near client site. Requester, and you can enter your own information, but many times we might be putting in a travel request for someone else. So we could enter someone else's name as well, but I'm going to enter my own information.
Notice I can add multiple people.
The location is Detroit, Michigan. And the travel start date. If I need to be there on the 17th it's going to be 12, 16, 2020, but notice that I could also use the date picker, and I'm going to do that for my travel and which is actually going to end on the 18th. Airline Delta. I actually have a pick-list that I can use here.
Estimated airfare, 450. Hotel, and this is pretty cool. So I'm going to enter the name of my hotel. And the Crowne Plaza, Detroit Downtown. So this list is actually looking specifically for hotels.
My estimated hotel cost is going to be 280. And then I'm submitting this request. So I'm not going to approve it now.
And I could add attachments here. Simply click and add whatever attachments I needed to add to support this request.
When I'm all done I click save. Another way I could add a new item is to edit in grid view. And when I switch a list to grid view, I get something that looks a lot like Excel. I have columns and rows. So when I add a new item here I just type in the cell, type in the cell.
And if I went to, for example, the travel start date and clicked, I'll still get all of the tools that I had supporting this data entry.
So I don't have to use the form in order to get date pickers, or to be able to resolve requesters. All I need to do is enter information. So if I begin entering Ray here, I can pick him up here, tab from cell to cell just as you would in Microsoft Excel. And when I'm all done, I simply either drop down to the next row to save, notice I have a progress meter on the left-hand side.
And when this record has been appropriately saved, then I can enter yet another record. So use the form if you wish or work in grid view. When you're done in grid view and you exit you go back to the original view, that looks like this. Now I can also edit my information. So this wasn't a great name here.
I select the row I want to edit and click edit, and I can open the form again and make modifications. Or I can simply drop back into grid view and enter the information I want to enter.
If I'm in grid view I can also simply choose to delete this record. And that record now that says, type in the cell was my travel request name is now winging its way to the recycle bin for the residential sales site.

Top 5 Vehicles Bucket List
Top 5 Vehicles Bucket List
(YELLING) This is insane! What was I thinking? On today's Bucket List, we split up to try to conquer the top five vehicle experiences we could dream of. Hi, guys. Codes here.
I'm excited to present to you my vehicle of choice. You can hear the motor. It is a biplane, and I will be wing walking. (SINGING) I've been waiting for this all my life, good things never come to those who wait in line. All right.
For those who don't know, or aware, or haven't been to an air show, wing walking is the process of climbing out of a perfectly good seat in an airplane and standing on top of the wings. Holy smokes. This is scary on the ground. I've done a lot of training, walked through it at least 100 times. Plane here, and then I climb out.
And then I'm just like wing walking like that. You are wing walking out there.
My son, James, has volunteered to show you the ropes. Oh, James. What's up, buddy?
You're smaller than I thought, as instructors go. Belts buckled all the time. The mags and the master switch, you don't want to be touching these. Duck a little further to get under the wires. I work the throttle?
Did he say that right? I am over it. I think everyone's wondering why we can't go ahead and strap in here on the runway and then take off. That's part of the fun, is you know, getting up there. Yay!
Y'all haven't even met my pilot. This is Mike. Me and Mike go way back. We met about an hour ago. How many times have you done this, Mike?
Couple dozen at least. We're pretty much golden. All the guys are telling me I'm crazy. My wife's kind of mad at me. And I'm just hoping we make it back home.
Woo! (SINGING) I'm losing my mind. Trying to find the perfect line.
I think I'm running out of time. I need a mira-miracle, a mira-miracle.
Yeah, I'm losing my mind, counting seconds passing by. I need a mira-miracle, a mira-miracle. A miracle. Just got the green light. (SINGING) Whoa, oh oh oh.
Whoa, oh, oh oh. I need a mira-miracle, a mira-miracle. Never goes the way that you planned, success is a door that always slams. I'm trying to break it. I'm trying to break it.
Searching for words and praying for signs, I struggle to find the rhythm and rhyme. Don't know how to say it. Don't know how to say I'm minutes away from going insane.
(SINGING) I'm on top of the world. I been waiting for this all my life.
Good things never come to those who wait in line. Oh my gosh. This is crazy! Woo! (SINGING) I was afraid of heights until I learned to fly.
And now I'm staring at the ground from way up high. Oh, he's flipping! Going upside down! (SINGING) I been waiting for this all my life. Good things never come to those who wait in line.
I been breaking these walls in mind. I want my mom! (SINGING) I'm on top of the world. I'm on top of the world. I'm on top of the world.
This is the best experience of my life! (SINGING) I been waiting for this all my life. Good things never come to those who wait in line. I been breaking these walls in my mind. I'm on top of the world.
Woo! Holy smokes! That was insane! That was 50 times crazier more intense than I ever even could have dreamed or thought of.
Cannot wait to tell the guys.
I can't even. I'm still, like-- just the adrenaline is just coursing through me. (SINGING) With every start, we are born again. For the Purple Hoser vehicle, I proudly present the party bus. I'm kidding, guys.
It is my transportation to my vehicle bucket list. I'm not going to give it away now, but you're going be pumped. See you guys in a little bit. Couple of reasons I chose this. Low to the ground.
Can't penetrate it. Heard Cody's getting on like a biplane, had to sign his life away. Out on that. I feel like I'm pretty safe in this bad boy. So that's why I chose it.
How's it going man? What's up, buddy? How's it going? Thanks for having us. Pleasure.
Well tell us a little bit about this bad boy here.
Ever been in combat? Sure has. So this is an M4 Sherman tank, World War II. We saw a little bit of combat in France.
In fact, if you walk around the side there, you'll see four rounds penetrated the turret A couple of reasons I chose this. Can't penetrate it. Wow. What's top speed of this bad boy? This one's going to be about 30.
So if I pulled into a gas station, how much am I looking to fill this bad boy up? Several hundred dollars, at least.
Yeah. My truck's 100 right now, so-- What about shooting out of this bad boy? What kind of shell does it take?
So this one's going to be a 75 millimeter. And we're going to be able to shoot it? We are. Let's get in this bad boy. Let's do it, man.
How did you get in this thing? Tank life is the luxurious life. Drive shaft right there. Your two handles to steer. Turn left, pull this back.
Turn right, pull that back. Brake, pull them both back. All right let's start her up. Company-L is moving tanks in from the east. This is sick!
Let's go take down these bogies. Here we go! Oh, wow, we've got fire. We got enemy fire. Oh, that was epic.
All right, man. So this is the Tank round, 76 millimeter. That's hefty. Oh yeah. So if I like, maybe accidentally shot this through my house, what would happen?
Probably just blow through the wall, all your furniture, then the other wall.
Keep on flying. Oh. It's actually probably repairable. All right, let's go shoot this thing.
Let's do it. Dude, this thing is sick. Got the 76 millimeter main gun on the Sherman. It's now live, so why don't you go ahead and step on it and send it. I'm locked in on the blue target.
So basically just aim and fire. That's all you. Oh. That was a lot louder than I expected. All right.
Need to work on my accuracy with the old tank gunner here.
Not very good. Well, you're a pretty good tank driver, and we have some stuff we could crush so why don't we go do that? (SCREAMING) Ahhhh! No more RV.
That was insane. All right, man, I think we finally got the enemy we were looking for all day. I think you got him, man. We did miss the car. That was unfortunate.
And that thing's just still sitting pretty down there. This was an absolute blast, highly recommend it. I got to head to the airport.
Today is an exciting day. I'm about to hop in a car to go 200 miles an hour with Mario Andretti.
As one of only two drivers to have won races in Formula 1, IndyCar, and NASCAR, Mario Andretti is a racing legend. His name is synonymous with speed. I would say I'm mostly excited, and I'm definitely a little bit nervous. The speed is scary. The fact that the greatest racer of all time is the one driving me makes me feel a lot better.
Yesterday, I got to watch the Indy 500 and help kick off the race.
Drivers, to your car! Nice. Did not see that coming. Today, I get to experience the speed for myself.
I'm hyped right now. This is going to be freaking sick. What's the fastest you've ever been in a car? Well, I drive a Tahoe, so-- In your Tahoe, you've driven maybe 60, 70, 80, you'll be going more than twice as fast. Oh my gosh.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am here today with the legend himself, Mario Andretti, the King of Racing. This is a huge pleasure, a real honor. I'm very nervous. As you can see, I'm shaking a little bit. We're going to be going somewhere in the ballpark of 200 plus miles an hour.
200-300. 200-300. OK, that's news to me. Well, like I said, just prepare yourself and say a little prayer. And then hang on.
You excited, my man? I'm stoked! Oh, you're going to love it! This is insane! What do I do with my hands?
Oh, this is the most excited I've ever been. Oh my gosh! That is insane! How was it, my man? That's amazing.
Not to bad, right? Oh, my goodness, Mario! Oh! My heart is pounding! The coolest thing I have ever done.
The straight-ways, you feel like you're physically on a rocket. And the turns, they don't feel physically possible. It does not feel like you're going to be able to get around. I know that all the other guys are getting do really cool things, but I am super grateful that mine was this. The single coolest thing I've ever done.
What's up, guys? Cory here in Lake Tahoe, one of the most beautiful places in all of America. What makes this trip even better is that I get to drive my bucket list vehicle, the Seabreacher! I'm here with Rob, the creator and master of all things Seabreacher. Rob, how are you doing?
What's up, Cory? Good to have you here. Good to be here, guys. It has been my dream ever since I saw this bad boy on the internet to drive a Seabreacher.
I am telling you guys.
These things are special. They're not just special. They're rad. Yeah. So, these ones are all custom built.
No two are exactly the same. We do different themes-- sharks, dolphins, whales, sports cars, fighter jets. This one is an '80s themed boat. Yeah, we're going to take you out, show you what they do. I'm in.
I'm ready. Oh, my gosh. I love it already. All right Rob, for a second here, let's talk about this bad boy. So here's how it works.
My pedals are kind of like my two dimensional, right? I can turn left with my left pedal. And then when it comes to three dimensional, that's these handles right here. If I go left, I roll to the left. If I go right, I roll to the right.
So now what we're going to do is give it a little bit of power, and just get used to it.
There you go. Faster. Oh, wow. There you go.
Right pedal, right pedal. You can't see anything. (SINGING) Sun on your skin, feel the love sinking in. Woo hoo!
. That was it. Guys, that was my very first mini-breach, it means I broke the water. Very small breach. Nothing to write home about, but I did it.
All right, you got to walk before you run. There you go, keep going, more power. That's it. This is so sick! I get it now.
I love it. I want it. Go, go, go, go, go! Oh, yes, yes, yes! That's a good one.
Guys, this is not a jet ski. This is way cooler. The only thing I can say is it feels like you are a dolphin. It feels like you are a shark. It's so cool.
I haven't gotten the mega jump yet, but it's coming.
It's coming. Hey guys, I'm driving a shark. Now that was a jump. Yeah, baby!
Oh, Rob, that is unbelievable. You did great. You want to try a barrel roll? Dude, I would try a barrel roll. Little bit faster this time.
Woo! Oh I feel like I'm in Star fox. Guys, 100% worthy of my Bucket List. The Seabreacher is unbelievable. I hope seeing it on camera did it justice.
That was the most fun thing I've ever done. That was unreal. Boys! How were the vehicles? Pretty epic.
How was the wing walking? Dude, I'm alive. OK. And this is the finale of Bucket List. It is almost monster truck time.
Not going lie, a little nervous. Yeah, you should be. But Cody walked on a wing of an airplane. If he can do that, I can drive a monster truck! Let's go!
A couple of real basic things for everybody to know. If the truck were to break down, catch on fire, roll over, any of those things, there's going to be fire, EMS, and a loader all headed to the truck. Did you know it was going to be this big? I mean, worst case scenario, I come up, land short, back tires hit, and then we're just front flipping all the way across. You nervous?
| wasn't nervous till I realized that I have fake headlights. So if it gets dark out here, we're in trouble.
It's a climb to get in this bad boy. Cockpit's tight. I can't see a whole lot other than right here in front of me.
Gas pedal. Brake. Don't push on the brake pedal. You tap the brakes, you're going all the way over. All gas, no brakes.
Except when you're landing. Then no gas, or no brakes. It's a lot of work to drive a monster truck. It's a lot of prep, kind of like grilling ribs. You know, just takes a little time.
So are you doing the big jump? It feels doable. Also feels like it could go bad. But we're cooking ribs, you know? And when you're cooking ribs, you don't stop halfway through the process.
Even if they're a little chewy. It's not easy being a monster truck driver. It's got its challenges. Make some noise for Tyler Toney! Is he going to do it?
Wow! Nice. This is his first time, folks. Here we go.
I think he's going for it.
Come on, Ty! Hit the big one. Let's go! Oh, guys. That could not have gone better.
Thank you to the people of Tennessee. Wouldn't have wanted to share it with anybody else. Guys, comment below. Let us know what you want to see next. Vehicle Bucket List is officially in the books.
Love you, guys. Pound it. And noggin. See you.

(YELLING) This is insane! What was I thinking? On today's Bucket List, we split up to try to conquer the top five vehicle experiences we could dream of. Hi, guys. Codes here.
I'm excited to present to you my vehicle of choice. You can hear the motor. It is a biplane, and I will be wing walking. (SINGING) I've been waiting for this all my life, good things never come to those who wait in line. All right.
For those who don't know, or aware, or haven't been to an air show, wing walking is the process of climbing out of a perfectly good seat in an airplane and standing on top of the wings. Holy smokes. This is scary on the ground. I've done a lot of training, walked through it at least 100 times. Plane here, and then I climb out.
And then I'm just like wing walking like that. You are wing walking out there.
My son, James, has volunteered to show you the ropes. Oh, James. What's up, buddy?
You're smaller than I thought, as instructors go. Belts buckled all the time. The mags and the master switch, you don't want to be touching these. Duck a little further to get under the wires. I work the throttle?
Did he say that right? I am over it. I think everyone's wondering why we can't go ahead and strap in here on the runway and then take off. That's part of the fun, is you know, getting up there. Yay!
Y'all haven't even met my pilot. This is Mike. Me and Mike go way back. We met about an hour ago. How many times have you done this, Mike?
Couple dozen at least. We're pretty much golden. All the guys are telling me I'm crazy. My wife's kind of mad at me. And I'm just hoping we make it back home.
Woo! (SINGING) I'm losing my mind. Trying to find the perfect line.
I think I'm running out of time. I need a mira-miracle, a mira-miracle.
Yeah, I'm losing my mind, counting seconds passing by. I need a mira-miracle, a mira-miracle. A miracle. Just got the green light. (SINGING) Whoa, oh oh oh.
Whoa, oh, oh oh. I need a mira-miracle, a mira-miracle. Never goes the way that you planned, success is a door that always slams. I'm trying to break it. I'm trying to break it.
Searching for words and praying for signs, I struggle to find the rhythm and rhyme. Don't know how to say it. Don't know how to say I'm minutes away from going insane.
(SINGING) I'm on top of the world. I been waiting for this all my life.
Good things never come to those who wait in line. Oh my gosh. This is crazy! Woo! (SINGING) I was afraid of heights until I learned to fly.
And now I'm staring at the ground from way up high. Oh, he's flipping! Going upside down! (SINGING) I been waiting for this all my life. Good things never come to those who wait in line.
I been breaking these walls in mind. I want my mom! (SINGING) I'm on top of the world. I'm on top of the world. I'm on top of the world.
This is the best experience of my life! (SINGING) I been waiting for this all my life. Good things never come to those who wait in line. I been breaking these walls in my mind. I'm on top of the world.
Woo! Holy smokes! That was insane! That was 50 times crazier more intense than I ever even could have dreamed or thought of.
Cannot wait to tell the guys.
I can't even. I'm still, like-- just the adrenaline is just coursing through me. (SINGING) With every start, we are born again. For the Purple Hoser vehicle, I proudly present the party bus. I'm kidding, guys.
It is my transportation to my vehicle bucket list. I'm not going to give it away now, but you're going be pumped. See you guys in a little bit. Couple of reasons I chose this. Low to the ground.
Can't penetrate it. Heard Cody's getting on like a biplane, had to sign his life away. Out on that. I feel like I'm pretty safe in this bad boy. So that's why I chose it.
How's it going man? What's up, buddy? How's it going? Thanks for having us. Pleasure.
Well tell us a little bit about this bad boy here.
Ever been in combat? Sure has. So this is an M4 Sherman tank, World War II. We saw a little bit of combat in France.
In fact, if you walk around the side there, you'll see four rounds penetrated the turret A couple of reasons I chose this. Can't penetrate it. Wow. What's top speed of this bad boy? This one's going to be about 30.
So if I pulled into a gas station, how much am I looking to fill this bad boy up? Several hundred dollars, at least.
Yeah. My truck's 100 right now, so-- What about shooting out of this bad boy? What kind of shell does it take?
So this one's going to be a 75 millimeter. And we're going to be able to shoot it? We are. Let's get in this bad boy. Let's do it, man.
How did you get in this thing? Tank life is the luxurious life. Drive shaft right there. Your two handles to steer. Turn left, pull this back.
Turn right, pull that back. Brake, pull them both back. All right let's start her up. Company-L is moving tanks in from the east. This is sick!
Let's go take down these bogies. Here we go! Oh, wow, we've got fire. We got enemy fire. Oh, that was epic.
All right, man. So this is the Tank round, 76 millimeter. That's hefty. Oh yeah. So if I like, maybe accidentally shot this through my house, what would happen?
Probably just blow through the wall, all your furniture, then the other wall.
Keep on flying. Oh. It's actually probably repairable. All right, let's go shoot this thing.
Let's do it. Dude, this thing is sick. Got the 76 millimeter main gun on the Sherman. It's now live, so why don't you go ahead and step on it and send it. I'm locked in on the blue target.
So basically just aim and fire. That's all you. Oh. That was a lot louder than I expected. All right.
Need to work on my accuracy with the old tank gunner here.
Not very good. Well, you're a pretty good tank driver, and we have some stuff we could crush so why don't we go do that? (SCREAMING) Ahhhh! No more RV.
That was insane. All right, man, I think we finally got the enemy we were looking for all day. I think you got him, man. We did miss the car. That was unfortunate.
And that thing's just still sitting pretty down there. This was an absolute blast, highly recommend it. I got to head to the airport.
Today is an exciting day. I'm about to hop in a car to go 200 miles an hour with Mario Andretti.
As one of only two drivers to have won races in Formula 1, IndyCar, and NASCAR, Mario Andretti is a racing legend. His name is synonymous with speed. I would say I'm mostly excited, and I'm definitely a little bit nervous. The speed is scary. The fact that the greatest racer of all time is the one driving me makes me feel a lot better.
Yesterday, I got to watch the Indy 500 and help kick off the race.
Drivers, to your car! Nice. Did not see that coming. Today, I get to experience the speed for myself.
I'm hyped right now. This is going to be freaking sick. What's the fastest you've ever been in a car? Well, I drive a Tahoe, so-- In your Tahoe, you've driven maybe 60, 70, 80, you'll be going more than twice as fast. Oh my gosh.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am here today with the legend himself, Mario Andretti, the King of Racing. This is a huge pleasure, a real honor. I'm very nervous. As you can see, I'm shaking a little bit. We're going to be going somewhere in the ballpark of 200 plus miles an hour.
200-300. 200-300. OK, that's news to me. Well, like I said, just prepare yourself and say a little prayer. And then hang on.
You excited, my man? I'm stoked! Oh, you're going to love it! This is insane! What do I do with my hands?
Oh, this is the most excited I've ever been. Oh my gosh! That is insane! How was it, my man? That's amazing.
Not to bad, right? Oh, my goodness, Mario! Oh! My heart is pounding! The coolest thing I have ever done.
The straight-ways, you feel like you're physically on a rocket. And the turns, they don't feel physically possible. It does not feel like you're going to be able to get around. I know that all the other guys are getting do really cool things, but I am super grateful that mine was this. The single coolest thing I've ever done.
What's up, guys? Cory here in Lake Tahoe, one of the most beautiful places in all of America. What makes this trip even better is that I get to drive my bucket list vehicle, the Seabreacher! I'm here with Rob, the creator and master of all things Seabreacher. Rob, how are you doing?
What's up, Cory? Good to have you here. Good to be here, guys. It has been my dream ever since I saw this bad boy on the internet to drive a Seabreacher.
I am telling you guys.
These things are special. They're not just special. They're rad. Yeah. So, these ones are all custom built.
No two are exactly the same. We do different themes-- sharks, dolphins, whales, sports cars, fighter jets. This one is an '80s themed boat. Yeah, we're going to take you out, show you what they do. I'm in.
I'm ready. Oh, my gosh. I love it already. All right Rob, for a second here, let's talk about this bad boy. So here's how it works.
My pedals are kind of like my two dimensional, right? I can turn left with my left pedal. And then when it comes to three dimensional, that's these handles right here. If I go left, I roll to the left. If I go right, I roll to the right.
So now what we're going to do is give it a little bit of power, and just get used to it.
There you go. Faster. Oh, wow. There you go.
Right pedal, right pedal. You can't see anything. (SINGING) Sun on your skin, feel the love sinking in. Woo hoo!
. That was it. Guys, that was my very first mini-breach, it means I broke the water. Very small breach. Nothing to write home about, but I did it.
All right, you got to walk before you run. There you go, keep going, more power. That's it. This is so sick! I get it now.
I love it. I want it. Go, go, go, go, go! Oh, yes, yes, yes! That's a good one.
Guys, this is not a jet ski. This is way cooler. The only thing I can say is it feels like you are a dolphin. It feels like you are a shark. It's so cool.
I haven't gotten the mega jump yet, but it's coming.
It's coming. Hey guys, I'm driving a shark. Now that was a jump. Yeah, baby!
Oh, Rob, that is unbelievable. You did great. You want to try a barrel roll? Dude, I would try a barrel roll. Little bit faster this time.
Woo! Oh I feel like I'm in Star fox. Guys, 100% worthy of my Bucket List. The Seabreacher is unbelievable. I hope seeing it on camera did it justice.
That was the most fun thing I've ever done. That was unreal. Boys! How were the vehicles? Pretty epic.
How was the wing walking? Dude, I'm alive. OK. And this is the finale of Bucket List. It is almost monster truck time.
Not going lie, a little nervous. Yeah, you should be. But Cody walked on a wing of an airplane. If he can do that, I can drive a monster truck! Let's go!
A couple of real basic things for everybody to know. If the truck were to break down, catch on fire, roll over, any of those things, there's going to be fire, EMS, and a loader all headed to the truck. Did you know it was going to be this big? I mean, worst case scenario, I come up, land short, back tires hit, and then we're just front flipping all the way across. You nervous?
| wasn't nervous till I realized that I have fake headlights. So if it gets dark out here, we're in trouble.
It's a climb to get in this bad boy. Cockpit's tight. I can't see a whole lot other than right here in front of me.
Gas pedal. Brake. Don't push on the brake pedal. You tap the brakes, you're going all the way over. All gas, no brakes.
Except when you're landing. Then no gas, or no brakes. It's a lot of work to drive a monster truck. It's a lot of prep, kind of like grilling ribs. You know, just takes a little time.
So are you doing the big jump? It feels doable. Also feels like it could go bad. But we're cooking ribs, you know? And when you're cooking ribs, you don't stop halfway through the process.
Even if they're a little chewy. It's not easy being a monster truck driver. It's got its challenges. Make some noise for Tyler Toney! Is he going to do it?
Wow! Nice. This is his first time, folks. Here we go.
I think he's going for it.
Come on, Ty! Hit the big one. Let's go! Oh, guys. That could not have gone better.
Thank you to the people of Tennessee. Wouldn't have wanted to share it with anybody else. Guys, comment below. Let us know what you want to see next. Vehicle Bucket List is officially in the books.
Love you, guys. Pound it. And noggin. See you.

Building a Productive Daily Routine + time management
Building a Productive Daily Routine + time management
Hello friends! On today's video I will be sharing how I plan my days, weeks and months with the analog part of my planning system. We will have a look at the ¨Flexible Time Blocking System¨, how I use the ¨Pomodoro Technique¨ and the ¨20-20-20 rule¨, my positive feedback system and also some final notes on planning. It seems like a lot, but we will tackle it all. I have already shared part one and part two of this video series, where I showed you the other 50% of how I plan and schedule my day.
So, without a further ado, let's get started with the last and final part. To make a bit of a recap of a quick my digital planning system, I have a table in ¨Notion¨ with different columns, where I have my tasks ranked in importance.
I have one main task of the day, which I give priority to, two goals and a column for other tasks. Lastly, I have a column for ¨completed tasks¨ where I migrate the tasks that I have already completed. But my planning does not end there.
I complement this table with something that allows me to be realistic and not over optimistic when planning. The reason for this is that, when planning, I tend to overpack my days with a big list, only to feel extremely disappointed once the day ends. How many times have you felt frustrated because it seems that you haven't done much in your day? Well, this can become a probable scenario for me if I do not use something to keep me down to Earth. And that is why the analog part of my planning system is useful for me.
I call this part of the system ¨flexible time blocking¨, but I know that it is also known as ¨window blocking¨. Scheduling every single minute of my day does not work for me at all. It stresses me out and makes me inflexible towards unexpected things that might happen. But at the same time, only having a to-do list makes me extremely optimistic, and I end up believing that I can accomplish more than I actually can in a given day.
So by having a bit of a reference of the actual hours that I can use in a day, I am able to plan a bit more realistically.
For this, I use blocks of time where I focus on specific tasks. I combine this with the ¨Pomodoro technique¨: 25 minutes of work, 5 minutes of rest time. Once I complete one ¨Pomodoro¨ I make a little asterisk in my page.
I try to complete as many ¨Pomodoros¨ as possible within that window of time. I do not always completely finish the task, but I make sure to make progress in it.
For instance, on this particular day I wanted to read and summarize 3 chapters. They were long and full of information, so I could only manage to finish two of them. If I hadn´t marked the little asterisk that shows me how much I have worked on the task, I would have probably felt disappointed, because I could not cross out the task entirely, since it is not fully finished. Instead, I feel great, because I know that I have focused for many ¨Pomodoros¨ and have done my best. I feel that time blocking allows me to be more conscious about the time that I actually do have.
FLEXIBLE TIME BLOCKING Bear in mind that you must adjust this to your personal circumstance. If you work, let's say a 9-5 or 9-6 job, or you have online classes or courses that are at specific times during your week, just mark that time out of your planner.
In this way, you can be a lot more realistic about the time that you have in a day and what you can accomplish in it. For instance, I might be starting a remote full time job in a company, and when If do so, I will mark all the working hours so as to have a realistic look at what my week looks like. The system will be pretty much the same, but I will have a lot less time .
Being overoptimistic when planning, and being unrealistic about the actual time that it takes to complete things has been one of the most disappointing things for me. At the end of the day, if I overpack my to-do list, and see a lot of incomplete things, I feel like a big failure. Instead, I count the little asterisks that equal 25 minutes and I can write down how much time I have worked for and I really like the feeling of reward that I get by doing this.
In opinion, it is good to have a daily, a weekly and a monthly planning scheme. For daily things I use both notion and my paper space.
For weekly goals and chores I have a separate column in notion. And for monthly things I have my agenda or this simple paper calendar which allows me to have a glance at the hole month. This really helps me t have a better idea of how many days I have left until certain important dates. For instance, I have marked the days in which I have to give in the assignments for my course, so that I am aware of them and can calmly work on them before they become ¨Urgent and important tasks¨ For this, you could also use something digital such as Google Calendar. I use the agenda because I happen to have it, but I would probably use google calendars or a monthly calendar in a page instead.
It is important to have in mind when you have important things coming up, to prepare in advance and reduce stress. You can draw a super simple calendar and have it within hands reach. You can also cross each day to have an accurate idea of the days left until your next assignment, test or important work related things that you have. POMODORO TECHNIQUE For the convenience I use the 25 minute, 5 minute rest ¨Pomodoro¨ with the online timer called ¨Tomato timer¨. I have been quite concerned about the health of my eyes.
I heard a specialist recommend the 20-20-20 rule. Basically, every 20 minutes, you should stare at something that is 20 meters away from you for 20 seconds. Our eyes get irritated when we look at things too close to us, and they rest when staring at things far away. Moreover, when staring at screens we diminish the amount of times that we blink per minute, so our eyes get dry. On every pause, I try to follow the 20-20-20 rule.
If possible I also try to stand up for some movement and stretch a bit.
In the pause I might fetch a cup of tea, go to the toilet, walk a bit, play with my dog or do absolutely nothing. And then the ¨Pomodoro¨ starts again, and it is time to get back to work. Another thing that I use in my planning system is positive feedback and reward. In my digital planning table there is a column for completed tasks, where I migrate all of the tasks that I have completed.
At the end of the day it is extremely rewarding to see what I have managed to accomplish. If I have tasks that I haven't completed and are still relevant, I just put the back in the weekly goals list I like this because if I don't see what I have accomplished, my perfectionist mind tends to think that I am one irresponsible person that is not able to accomplish or do anything. Another thing that really motivates me to write down the little asterisks when I complete a 25 minute ¨pomodoro¨. I love to go back to my agenda and see how much I have been able to study or work for.
It is helping me to change my mentality around my own productivity, and to see that I do put a lot of work into things.
Sometimes, I cannot cross out a list, because I still need to work on it the next day, but I know that I did my best in that day, and it is enough for me. This is a time for me to make a small reflection of the day, have a look at what worked, the progress I did, If I got distracted, if I can change anything or improve it and so on. Also, I generally plan things in the night so that I don't waste any time the next morning. And once I wake up, I can start working right away. FINAL NOTES Remember the most important thing: you can have the absolute best, most efficient time planning method and still not accomplish much.
The planning system is important, but it is more important to get into action. Don't spend all your time trying to maximize efficiency instead of actually doing the things you have to do. In my experience, I have lost countless hours designing perfect time scheduling plans, which was a way for me to procrastinate. Instead, I am trying to focus less on the system, and focus more on the doing. Sounds simple, but it is easier said than done (specially if you are like me and you like to imagine scenarios, and plans, and efficient systems, and stuff like that.
). If you work a bit everyday on the things that matter to you, they will add up as compound interest. Even if it doesn seem that you are doing much on a particular day, the sum of the efforts of the week will make you accomplish things. This is one of the best lessons I learned with the book Atomic Habits by James Clear, which I must always recommend.
Many of you think that this system takes a long time to use on a daily basis.
There were many comments about this. I really doesn't take me much to do it. I would say, 10 minutes on Monday or Sunday (to plan the skeleton of the week in the agenda, and the "weekly goals" in Notion). 5 minutes every night + random minutes in the day whenever I need to list a new task. (the calendar is done once a month, so I do not really count it, but it takes me around 10 min to make it) Another note: Can you have the complete planning system in the digital format, or vice versa, everything in paper?
Of course you can. But I prefer the flexibility of the digital part, and the accessibility of the paper part. I like the combination, and feel that works well for me. Also, you can write things down in pencil, for maximum tidiness and flexibility in case you need to change things in your weekly plan. Because if you remember video number one of this planning system, things will happen, unexpected things will pop-up and you will have to be flexible and adjust your plans as you go.
I also feel that there are several ways in which you can make your time blocking schedule. There is no need for you to get any fancy agenda or anything. I have this one, with the timed columns, because it was given to my mum as advertising. (I will be painting the covers soon haha). But you can use any paper sheet and put the hours of the day.
Another way that I like to use this is by just writing down the periods of time in which you want to do something, and putting the asterisks next to that. the idea is not to have a rigid plan of the day, or to plan ever single second of it. This is to be more realistic and not to over-schedule, because we take into account the actual hours that we have available in a day. It helps me not to be stressing out and not to end the day in disappointment :) There are some days in which I like to plan in the agenda with every single hour of the day, while others I grab a simple notebook and make a list.
It just depends on my mood.
Hope you liked this video. I feel I might have made the system look complicated, but actually it is so simple! Please tell me if you do anything similar or if you think you could try out any of this. I love to read you in the comment section and it alyas makes me happy to read how you are doing and to read all the lovely comments that your leave. Also, there is a part one to this planning series, where I have shared the three main principles that help me to plan my day and part two where I have dived deep in the digital part of my planning systems.
Those videos really complement this one, so make sure to watch them. I will have the link down below for them, or you can just click in the card in the right top corner. If you liked the video, do not forget to hit the subscribe button and the bell, because if not, youtube won't tell you about my upcoming videos. Also, you can follow me on Instagram where I share snippets of my life and also some daily reflections. That is just a fun space where you can find me at.
If you want to make a contribution to my content, to help me keep creating, you can become a Patreon friend. There is a small donation fee which goes to what I call my tip jar, to help me keep creating and make more videos.

I love to go back to my agenda and see how much I have been able to study or work for.
It is helping me to change my mentality around my own productivity, and to see that I do put a lot of work into things.
Sometimes, I cannot cross out a list, because I still need to work on it the next day, but I know that I did my best in that day, and it is enough for me. This is a time for me to make a small reflection of the day, have a look at what worked, the progress I did, If I got distracted, if I can change anything or improve it and so on. Also, I generally plan things in the night so that I don't waste any time the next morning. And once I wake up, I can start working right away. FINAL NOTES Remember the most important thing: you can have the absolute best, most efficient time planning method and still not accomplish much.
The planning system is important, but it is more important to get into action. Don't spend all your time trying to maximize efficiency instead of actually doing the things you have to do. In my experience, I have lost countless hours designing perfect time scheduling plans, which was a way for me to procrastinate. Instead, I am trying to focus less on the system, and focus more on the doing. Sounds simple, but it is easier said than done (specially if you are like me and you like to imagine scenarios, and plans, and efficient systems, and stuff like that.
). If you work a bit everyday on the things that matter to you, they will add up as compound interest. Even if it doesn seem that you are doing much on a particular day, the sum of the efforts of the week will make you accomplish things. This is one of the best lessons I learned with the book Atomic Habits by James Clear, which I must always recommend.
Many of you think that this system takes a long time to use on a daily basis.
There were many comments about this. I really doesn't take me much to do it. I would say, 10 minutes on Monday or Sunday (to plan the skeleton of the week in the agenda, and the "weekly goals" in Notion). 5 minutes every night + random minutes in the day whenever I need to list a new task. (the calendar is done once a month, so I do not really count it, but it takes me around 10 min to make it) Another note: Can you have the complete planning system in the digital format, or vice versa, everything in paper?
Of course you can. But I prefer the flexibility of the digital part, and the accessibility of the paper part. I like the combination, and feel that works well for me. Also, you can write things down in pencil, for maximum tidiness and flexibility in case you need to change things in your weekly plan. Because if you remember video number one of this planning system, things will happen, unexpected things will pop-up and you will have to be flexible and adjust your plans as you go.
I also feel that there are several ways in which you can make your time blocking schedule. There is no need for you to get any fancy agenda or anything. I have this one, with the timed columns, because it was given to my mum as advertising. (I will be painting the covers soon haha). But you can use any paper sheet and put the hours of the day.
Another way that I like to use this is by just writing down the periods of time in which you want to do something, and putting the asterisks next to that. the idea is not to have a rigid plan of the day, or to plan ever single second of it. This is to be more realistic and not to over-schedule, because we take into account the actual hours that we have available in a day. It helps me not to be stressing out and not to end the day in disappointment :) There are some days in which I like to plan in the agenda with every single hour of the day, while others I grab a simple notebook and make a list.
It just depends on my mood.
Hope you liked this video. I feel I might have made the system look complicated, but actually it is so simple! Please tell me if you do anything similar or if you think you could try out any of this. I love to read you in the comment section and it alyas makes me happy to read how you are doing and to read all the lovely comments that your leave. Also, there is a part one to this planning series, where I have shared the three main principles that help me to plan my day and part two where I have dived deep in the digital part of my planning systems.
