My philosophy? Look at the ball, hit it, and.... zeee yah!
OK some good things in your swing that are difficult to teach. Good
relaxation, balance, smooth transitions, smooth, effortless. Your legs have
little bend and flex in them - you would do better to put a little flex in
your right knee to get better stability and torque on your backswing. Also
your turn is minimal. It would be good to get your shoulders to turn more
on the backswing. It might be a flexibility issue, or you just might not be
used to turning far enough.

A single thought rules my mind: Proper contact.
From my experience, control is what I need to make proper contact so I put
all my efforts towards that single goal. Control is accuracy of movement.
Accuracy is a comparison between intention and action, the closer action is
to intention, the higher the accuracy.
If I don't bend my legs or don't turn my shoulders so much, it's probably
because at some point when I was practicing I learned that either move would
afford me less control than otherwise. So, I bend my legs as little as
possible and I turn my shoulders as little as possible. In other words, I
move so that I maintain maximum control throughout up to impact.
With practice and training, I should grow stronger and gradually be able to
send the ball farther as a result.

It looks to me like his balance is forward, up on his toes not on the center
of his feet. I think this is because of the lack of knee bend. With only
bending at the waist, the weight has to be forward.

Pas mauvais! I like your "routine:" look at the target and hit the ball.
Vite fait! No time for bad thoughts to creep in to your head. A fluid swing
too.

A "gimme" can best be defined as an agreement between
two golfers neither of whom can putt very well.

My brain gets in the way so yes, I try to do as little as possible. Economy
of thought, if you will.
