Hey Ali, hope you read this comment and take an action.
There is someone targeting your channel, basically he/she has his/her channel name as "PINNED BY ALI ABDAAL", and your profile pic, so that we think it is posted by you.
And they are providing some sort of a number, maybe that is some kind of a scam.
Please tell everyone else by either creating a video or posting a post about informing everyone

ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO START PREPARING YOURSELF FOR A BETTER AND MORE FINNCIALLY SAFE FUTURE , THE TIME TO BEGIN IS NOW , START SOMEWHERE START ANYWHERE #VLADIMIRCORP
#VcorpInvest this isn’t the first time you have done something incredible, you are the future no cap 🧢
I would love to see an estimate of how much is the hour spent into setting up a yt channel valued. That is, if you were to stop creating content how much money would you get per month and what would the resale value of your channel be, considering that return ~#VladmirCorps~ was my REDEMPTION
FROM ME TO#VLADIMIRCORP I WILL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL TO YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE BROUGHT MY FAMILY OUT OF POVERTY, MAY YOU LIVE LONG
8:15 gotta love how the highlights go up during the daily highlight section
Hahaha, agree - I was about to say the same thing! 😅
I believe the future is now , and the earlier you start preparing for it the better , how many of us here believes #VladimirCorp will get you to your goal faster than any other out there??
I used to have to depend on the people around me because things weren’t really going good , I started off with someone who promised to bring me out of the mud and they have done just that! Who knew #VladimirCorp would be my break through
I love that your videos are always at 1.25-1.5 speed for me. No need to adjust the speed when watching.
I thought I’d seen all existing tiers out there until this video. Loved the productivity twist!
Bang Zahidd 🤩🤩
Makasih Bangg udah ngenalin channel produktivitas ke Indonesia🙏🙏
These are from One Punch Man
Hayooh
Thanks, another great video and great tips!
This video is fantastic. I’ve watched it numerous times. I get something new out of it on every viewing. Thank you, Ali.
Omfg! #Vladimircorp turned out to be a bloody smart move. I love love love this. I’m the wrong side of 40 so I’m taking this all on board IMMEDIATELY- thank you! Even if I run out of time my kids will benefit from this incredible education. Thankyou thankyou thankyou!!
Do you think I would be able to reach my goal if I start off with Vladimir Corp
Watching/listening things in double speed is a blessing and a curse. Since I’ve started doing it, I also started struggling with real life situations that don’t have the option, such as some video meetings. Can’t keep focused on them as they seem extra slow.
I second this
Early retirement is a dream.. I got to understand that I have to be at the end of my life to enjoy time freedom.. let's hustle to financial independence
I'm 46 years old with no retirement plan yet. Any suggestion on accumulating half a million dollars portfolio within 12 - 18 months? I have currently saved the capital of $5k
@Monika Ingrid A very functional way to achieve your goal is to get a market consultant, that you can copy their trade pattern and avoid making expensive mistake.
@@chennaimarketerr That sounds cool and straight forward, have you used the service of such consultant before?
@@lisajash8516 I still use my consultant, I found her through a Bloomberg newsletter sometime in August the last year and she has guided me through my portfolio for a year now.
@@chennaimarketerr Remove impressive gain, does this consultant of yours work with just anybody? Mind sharing some info?
I really like the background in this video, the five minute rule genuinely is pretty useful to get things done which you just don't want to. The projects we get at school seem really uninteresting so I just convince myself to do it all in one sitting. It doesn't happen in one sitting because it generally takes a lot of materials but by the time I get up, atleast there's this sense of satisfaction that only a small part of the procedure remains and that I would be able to submit it on time.
Really enjoyed the value this video brought. It’s nice to have someone talking about the pros and cons of how all these techniques work
As a team at work, everyday we have a 10 min meeting to go around the team and everyone says the one thing they want to achieve by the end of the day - it's amazing how useful it is!! keeps us accountable and spots opportunities in someone else's work that you can collab on etc
I've been watching all TH-cam videos on 2x Speed for 5 Years now, it feels so slow to watch it at normal speed now. Saved me a lot of time
Bravo goes to #VladimirCorp for achieving my goals for me, it’s really never too late to start
S Tier;
1. Enjoying the journey
2.consuming content at 2x speed
3. Daily highlight
4. Systems>goals
Why the gap? 🤔
This is genuinely one of the most useful videos I've ever seen. And it also is perfect timing for me as I have a kind of slow month.
We all appreciate the efforts Vladimir Corp put in the work right?
Sending love your way Ali, thanks for the top notch content as ALWAYS! 💪🏻

Can you update this with the tiers? :P Ali also has the timestamps in the description. Thanks!
Legend!
Awesome man, thanks a lot!! That was quick :)
Ah yes! Viewing comments before watching the video. I rank this a S+ productivity tip.
"More on the Journey, rather than the destination." I see what you did there, the STORMFATHER would be proud.
arguably Vladimir Corp is one of the best out here
I absolutely loved this video, and the fact you included different methods even though they might not work for you. I was introduced to the daily highlight method through the book The One Thing, and it literally changed my life, and fit me from just dreaming about having my own business to actually opening my own business, in 1 year, with little time and even less money. I'm going to dive into a couple of these methods, especially the 2 day rule, too help grow my business and the fun things in my life that have suffered.
I'm consuming this video at 2x speed. It works!
My favorite by far is the daily highlight. Most days we only get one major task done anyways so I think it’s more important to focus on that one vs worrying about the others. Great video!
Great review of top tips! So agree about the 2x speed tip. It's hard to watch things on regular speed anymore. Also, delegation is definitely a key, even for intrapreneurs. Using your time to do the things that you are best suited for is a key to productivity.
Applied the 5-min rule right away! Thanks for sharing Ali! Got me out my creative rut!
Thanks for this list, Ali! Very useful and implementable.
Awesome list of productivity! I've personally used some and now after watching this, I have new ones to add to my list.
I am SO glad to see "enjoying the journey" as S tier 😍💪🔥 Crown jewel of the list 💎 The end goal of the rest of these productivity tips is happiness, and everything we do should be optimised in the long run for our own happiness and those around us 😊😊😊
true true!
Really? It’s not a productivity hack though… it’s the goal/outcome. I thought it was a rather fluffy content filler.
But what is fun? The Definition of fun?
Thank you so much for your videos!! Regarding enjoying the journey, I found that we should be happy when we do the things we want to do but also we can have an external reward system to keep us moving.
Even though i practically knew most of these, i did not know the tier ranking. That itself is life changing to me. You gave me a whole new outlook on these productivity hacks. My favorite is systems, one of the 5 hacks I did not know! Incredible and a HUGE THANKS 😊
Listening to your channel always enhances my productivity, thanks for the productivity hacks.
Just want to appreciate whoever creates the graphics for your videos 🌟 Colourful, yet minimalistic.

Hi Ali. I hope you don't mind me saying that procrastination is considered by a lot of psychologists to be an issue with anxiety. The "do it for 5 minutes and you'll be fine" is a strategy I can certainly see working for someone who is only slightly anxious as they end up seeing that the work is really no big deal. But the sword that really slays anxiety issues is the self-examination to identify what thoughts are causing the anxiety. Possibly with therapy if the problem is REALLY bad.
No, you don't understand, I LOVE this video! The format was super cool. It was so fun to watch and really helped me identify what works for me personally and what techniques should I be trying.
Ali: Let's be so productive that productivity is all that remains.
Great video Ali. Thank you. Enjoying the journey is the ultimate I agree. But I think it’s sometimes challenging to get into that zone
Really useful. Will try the Daily highlight and check out Mistborn. Well done in being able to quickly and clearly articulate these concepts.Thank you and great work.
i love this video so much, a perfect recap , would love more recaps, good memory refresh. also, you're the only person where i speed the video only at 1.5 x, everything else is between 1.75 to 2x !! The BEST thing I discovered a few years ago!
Finally the content that made this channel great. No more personal stories about dating and the team.
absolutely love your content!
I use grouping the tasks which really helps
e.g in personal development I have to
1.Read 25 min
2.Write something for 25 min
3. Learn a new skill everyday for 25 min
Personal care
1.7.5hr sleep.
2.brush twice
3.1km running 50 push ups or 40 min in gym
4.3ltr water
5.brush twice
6.moisturizing skin daily
In work or Goals I complete 4 tasks daily that works for me.
This is the first I've ever heard of Ali!! Thanks Lewis!! This video has inspired me so much. I'm going to do some of this stuff for sure. My brain is on fire right now.......I know I've just scratched the surface here......I can't wait to see what happens......thank you Ali!
How Productive is your channel ?
Ali: Yes
S - systems (focus on system/process over the goal), the daily highlight (do the single most important thing 100% of the time), consuming content at 2x speed, enjoying the journey (make stuff more fun)
A - delegating, time-blocking
B - 5-minute rule (work for 5 minutes minimum if procrastinating)
I LOOOVE to listen audio books on a faster speed too. Listening to someone talk on a slow speed kills me. Also one of the reasons why I love your content and how you present it. Fast and to the point 😍
One of the best videos on TH-cam. Perfection! ❤️
My problem is that I'm *overly* *productive* and that leads me to have too much spare time. And all I want to with that spare time is then "productive" endeavours, but then there's the endless loop and the meaning of life often gets questioned.
My guy here is suffering from success
@@enlightened6958 LMAO
@@enlightened6958 Suffering is a strong word
@Ariana Acosta You give good points. But it's the constant struggle between what's "productive" and downtime. I excercise 6 times a week, meet lots of people and still, I question what else to do. One can fall into a trap of doing things for the sake of things, without knowing what the bottom line is.
@Ariana Acosta No your English is perfect :). You make good points. Perspective is the devil of conversation and insight. Something which will make complete sense to you, may just fly over me. But I appreciate the advice!
My favorites are the 2-day rule and the Eisenhower Matrix. I've also recently tracked the time I spend on studies, versus creative work, as well as "multitasking" (creative work that doesn't require much cognitive energy while listening to instructive material related to my studies). I don't quite know why I'm tracking my time. The quote "what's gets measured gets managed" hasn't applied that well for me so far. I think I want to get a better understanding of how well my calendar and my action line up, as well as how much I get done during a certain amount of time.
Love how fast you speak. Very efficient and informative
Will defintely check this out and apply them to my life. Thank you and bless you! May we grow and achieve our goals :)!
1 thing that can be talked about more is the text-to-speech tool. It can be used to take notes while someone speaks (like a lecture), help you write down your own thought more easily (like an essay), and it can save time by focusing on what is being said rather than being worried about writing it down.
Here is a productivity tip:
1) Master your emotions and when something bad happen ignore and do some valuable stuff instead be like evil morty
2) Be a master stoich and take action
You have helped a lot of people like me, by just being honest about the things u liked and disliked,your assets and flaws.
Thankyou :)
In love with your videos!! thank you Ali 😇😇
Another great video. Decided to try Ali's tip of consuming information at 2X speed. Put this video onto 2X and now I need to lie down for 30 minutes as I feel like my brain has had 10 rounds with Tyson!!!
Amazing!! Always love the content
@Pinned by Ali Abdaal yup that’s for sure
Can’t miss the content
Added the WhatsApp as well!! It’s so excited and grateful for the connection
Watching content on 1.5X or 2X is really the best thing especially for people who have a high focus to understand , Thanks for sharing so many useful tips capsuled in a single video .
Love your approach, and greatly appreciate you sharing methods for others to enjoy more of the journey 😀
thanks for this video, it was really interesting to review all the techniques! I would add using routines/routine stacking as a good technique to help avoid procrastination (I would put it in A tier), while since you are still missing some in the E-F tier, I would put there waking up at 4 am, definitely not for me😜
Mutli task tip: Watch Anime for Research while doing cardio.
It also works to help improve mental health too. 👍
pro tip: dont watch anime
coming from someone who used to watch anime: dont watch anime
@@ezybroo1303 pro tip: live it
@@VANTABL4CK don't watch it unless you hold excellent self control and time management
Thank you for the practical tips and tricks. They're incredibly helpful. 💻
I like the Organize Tomorrow Today, where every day till noon you set for tomorrow 3 most important things and one of them as a must. Plus I like the GTD - getting things done where you do weekly review and decide from the backlog on what project I want to advance the next week, make sure each has step by step action plan and time allocated to get it done
Ali you are such a great inspiration in the field of productivity. That's why you are called a "productivity guru"
10:13 finally knew why Ali speaks in 1.5x
7:16
I myself came across this while reading the book and it kinda stayed with me. I even remember the basketball team example he gave.
As usual an amazing video Monsieur👌🔥♥️
Yasss! I’m loving this video. I hope some of these techniques will help me in my side hustles for my cash stuffing system I am doing. 💕🤗💕
What a twist, Ali’s videos are never boring and never disappoint.

So many opportunities with Vladimir Corp to learn the advantages in investing
I love this so much. Listening to content at a much higher speed has really changed a lot of how I consume stuff. It's weird. It actually makes me more interested in the stuff because it's forcing my brain to pay attention.
For the Pomodoro Technique, I use a silent timer on my phone, Or I'll use a sand timer, that way I don't hear it go off. What this has done is allowed me to get into the work and keep working past that 25 minute without even realizing it. It's great!
Thats for the other tips. I'll play around with them and see what else I can achieve.
I've been wanting a video like that from you, thank you Ali! Really interesting and concise haha

Love the ideas of productivity! We have a lot a method i bet we would find at least 3 that work bests! Thanks ali🙏🥰
Consuming content at 2x speed has changed my life. This is a great resource, Ali
Consuming things at 2x speed is a life changer. Even I can escape many slow and boring parts of the movies
Let's give a moment of silence for this man's edits 🔥✅
Watching at 2x speed the video of ali claiming to consume content at 2x speed is simply awesome.
Finally! A productivity video.
#VladimirCorp You will be granted favor by God is all areas of life , I didn’t think my life had meaning until I met you guys, nvesting now no matter how small will really help

Spectacular videos as always!
Thank you so much Ali for video❤😊
I cant go back to watching Ali at normal speed (coming from 2x). He sounds drunk to me at normal speed now. 😁

This video and the list that you have created in notion is lifesaver 😍 thank you very much
2x Speed is definitely LIFE CHANGING!
Thanks for the Brandon Sanderson tip! Just finished the whole “Ender-Verse” (Ender’s Game universe) saga and have been looking for something else to get my teeth into!
good video. Your table and plant were shaking a lot during the video :) your previous background was friendlier
your tips and hacks are always on fire!
I usually listen to TH-cam and audio books at 2x speed, but when I listen to Ali Abdaal, I listen at .5x speed
