Hi sir
I have started a TH-cam channel could you please say the basics to start a TH-cam channel and editing with normal software and what videos came e upload
@@user-ez5kn1fo4y he’s from uk
How to be sociable
No one:
Ali: buy a lamp
@Hungarian Eagle Lol
Ali: Buys a lamo
Also Ali: Shines it on the wall
smh
xRampant-lll he didn’t even link it for us, smh my head
And a speaker
well yeah how would you be social if you couldn't see the person you're being social to smh my head
I was here from the very start around 1.7k subs if I remember correctly and Ali I can really truly say you’ve changed my life from me getting incredible mock results(and hopefully Alevel) from using your revision tips to me buying an IPad and the keyboard for uni (I’m currently typing on it and I love it) to just general life advice. Man I’ve never met you but you feel like a friend. And I hope you see this as I just wanted to say thank you so much.
I'd also include a monitor (only ~£100 for a decent 1080p one) for use with the laptop when in your room. Having two screens works wonders for my productivity.
U have a link to the monitors
Hell yes
Yologuy can u make me a pc list?
Oh I was talking about the 2 monitor idea
But I think mine is the Acer kg271
Never been more impressed by someone who is passionate in both their studies and helping others. Keep up the good work Ali !
Hey Ali! Loved the “study with me” playlist. I’m habitual of listening to instrumentals while studying and working, and this playlist is like a one stop shop of exactly what I needed! Thanks mate :)
The best camera is the one you have with you. You don't need an expensive camera. I have an iPhone 6 and I take amazing photos. Not trying to build myself up here, just saying that you should use the stuff you already have and upgrade when you've reached the limit of your equipment if it is actually limiting to you. I really enjoy photography. It's a hobby. All I have is an iPhone 6. Yes, I would like to upgrade to a camera with a bigger sensor and larger lens, but as a college student, especially in the US, you should use what you have. Like I said, photography is one of my hobbies, but it would be an unnecessary purchase to buy a new camera. The limitations bring creativity.
Update: I now have a film SLR and I love it so much!!
Rightly said!
Such an important message!! I wish he would integrate some sort of disclaimer in his videos
I have a Motorola with one shit back camera....
@@keerthivasvenkatesan1739 As I said, "upgrade when you've reached the limit of your equipment if it is actually limiting to you." If you're frustrated with the camera quality, get a new phone or a new camera if you can afford one. If you don't care, stop complaining. Personally, my iPhone 6 is limiting me, but I still can't afford a real camera.
Hi Ali, I’ve watched your videos over and over again and I’ve started to use some of your methods like questioning my self using Google Sheets and trying to space out my learning rather than cramming everything into one day and I just wanted to thank you for sharing this, because I feel like I have wayyyy more free time and I understand and most importantly I remember the subjects way more than I did before. So thank you again. :)
I can vouch for the Kindle recommendation and all the supporting arguments Ali stated. Bought my first ever Kindle like two years ago and read over 100 books in a year (Yeah, I'm not kidding! A new book every three days). It's so much lighter than my phone so it's really easy for my tiny self to hold it with one hand while lying down or even in the bathroom 😎 Ali is definitely right about the distraction part. I put my phone on the other side of the room while I'm on my bed reading and next thing I know I've been reading for 45 minutes straight. Kindle is definitely one if not my most prized possession. Made me fall in love with reading again.
Hi,
I like to collect and read books from the library. I have a physical copy of whatever I am reading on my bedstand ready to pick-up and directly in front of me - which is great for when I need to go to bed. Furthermore, I am able to renew and reserve other books through the library app. But usually, when I am travelling/commuting I don't bring my book out and tend to just scroll through social media. The main benefit from receiving library books is that they are free and easy to collect. The drawbacks are that; sometimes I may have to wait weeks until I get the opportunity to read a book that I received earlier, I don't like bringing out a huge book out on public transport etc. I am considering purchasing a Kindle, the main thing that would tip me over is if there is a way to read books for free (as I do with library card now) if possible? I think this would add another 15-30% of reading to my day.
@@Torchman- There is.
Download books in pdf/epub(online for free) on your pc and transfer to your kindle.
@@Torchman- Or you can rent books.
OR you can buy another brand. My Sony prs still works great. Step away from the brand and recommend the hardware class itself
@@Torchman- there is also a option of buying a kindle unlimited subscription. it doesn't offer all the books, but most of the popular titles at just 10$ per month. you can borrow upto 10 books at a time, advantageous when I feel like reading fiction and not a self-improvement book but want to get back to it later
I’d just like to let you know that you are quickly becoming one of my favorite youtubers. You are very innovative with your ideas on your TH-cam videos and it makes me really enjoy your videos. I really like your time stamps at the beginning of the videos and also how in some videos you give what the video is about and what we watched it for right at the beginning. You are a great TH-camr and I’m loving all the college, tech tips and videos in general. Keep it up!!!
I love the lighting idea. even more the reason behind it, it is genius.
Super informative, well motivated picks and excellent quality. Love it!
Also, the new podcast is fantastic. It's very rambly but adding lots of value at the same time, unlike most other "chatty" podcasts. Very interested to see what future topics you guys will cover!
DSLR is essential for student. Hmmm. You and I are in two different worlds
Not a dslr but a mirrorless
Keep quiet are you a doctor and have a million subs in TH-cam
@@cinderyghost3130 That’s literally the point he’s making
@@zappin6062 I know I was just emphasizing he’s point😂
@@cinderyghost3130 lol
You always motivate me .
You are the inspiration to me.
Thank you, doctor.
your editing is actually flawless
@@aliabdaal how you edit your videos
See skillshare
Spot on, lol
@Ali abdall how do you edit
@@quantumworld3222 editor
I love you! Thank you for being you, keep up the amazing work!💗
Dude thank u for literally every video you've uploaded so far on this channel, and good luck on the rest of your career.
I downloaded audible and it was the best thing I've bought in years. now debating whether to get a kindle too. thank you for emphasising it so much!!
I get so excited everytime you upload i look forward to every one of ur videos Ali! Ur amazing❤️❤️
"Epic instrumental banger playlist", just because of how you described it, I'll start listening to it
Thank you so much for the playlist!
Can't even lie, you are literally my older sprit animal. I'm in Upper Sixth and bang out my movie soundtracks playlist on my small speaker; am obsessed with Anki and created a spreadsheet similar to yours (definitely not as good though.....) as well as aggressively using mindmaps. Honestly, you are a straight gangster and never stop never stopping.
Masterful production Ali! This Gen X is learning so much from our youth! Onward....
I purchased my 11in iPad pro 2018 after watching how you use it for Med school and it has been really good. There has been enough advancement in the App Store that can allow you to use it pretty much as a computer.
Hadn't heard of readwise, that sounds like a great idea, thanks for the tip! 🤓
Great video, I have my first set of 'real' OSCEs coming up in two weeks (third year med student), would massively appreciate a video of your advice for OSCE exams as opposed to written exams
The camera one! YES!!
I love watching your videos they always cover useful topics and are shot in great quality😀
Thanks the tip on Readwise, never knew about that one .. sounds interesting
always love your content!
Thanks for the spotify playlist!
Great tips all!! Thank you Ali!! :)
You should make podcasts, your voice is soothing and interesting.
You’re actually a legend
Nice video. You're Spotify Playlist has amazing music.
Is it just me or the phone flip at the beginning @ 0:20 was so cool and flawless just like the editing on the video!!!
You kind of forgot to take into account the average student budget...
You heard about that thing called work ?
@@1o7oMaRcIn1o7o Yeah have you ever heard of college tuition?
Vlad Omota in the UK we have access to really good student loans. Plus a decent minimum wage means we’re not as bad off as you guys when it comes to education.
@@MJ-hh1tm yeah we have that too but that still doesn't mean we have that much money
Vlad Omota then work hard on scholarships, get a job, and get loans. It’s not too difficult if you put in the effort.
I love listening to music when studying, there's a playlist on Spotify called Peaceful Piano which is one of their official playlists and they update it very often. It's a 300 song 12h playlist of peaceful piano and it's not too distracting while reading.
Ahh my bro, you continue to save my life with your suggestions. I'm hunting for a good camera right now! :)
Awesome Video Ali 👍🏻
i have normal kindle 8th and now i ordered kindle paperwhite 4 , nice video thanks :)
I noticed you have the same wallpaper I've had for years. Hopefully there is a correlation between choosing wallpapers and success.
Hey Ali
I found out about your channel last night and I’ve been binging it since then. Just saw that you uploaded a video which made me super happy. You and your content are fantastic and you’re actually the first inspiration I’ve had on TH-cam (and I’ve been on youtube for 10+ years now). Any chance you’ll do a morning routine video? Keep up the great work!
Ali Abdaal
Take all the time you need. Your work and rest come first haha our entertainment is much less important. But thank you :)
I got a Kindle Paperwhite. Thanks, Ali!
Okay buying a kindle would be a life saver. I need one ASAP, thanks Ali
In my sleep deprived state, I initially read this as: ‘Okay buying a knife would be a life saver. I need one ASAP, thanks Ali’
I was like, wow this list took a strange turn???
He made recommendations, people. He never said you have to buy the products of the brands in the video, nor did he mention anything about you better buy it in pristine conditions. Try to find cheaper alternatives, just as long as it serves your needs and fit your budgets. Don't go apple, go android, don't buy new, buy used. Don't buy all at once, but wait for sale and refurbished annoucement. Geezzz
The fact is none of this products matter if you are a hardworking student. These are also meant to be bought once someone gets a job atleast in my country. These things if owned my a student is considered luxury and is labelled as a spoiled brat from a rich background.
Soubhik Mondal I only considered something luxury if you own it while you don't need it. If you need it for your work or your study, no matter how expensive it is, it's a necessity.
I guess for European and American people its not so strange at all. But maybe we are all rich brats. I mean I also have 4 lamps in my room.
The Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones are really good for the same price, too. Just preference is all that comes down to it
How the hell does this smart ass guy speak so quickly and fluently and we can still understand what he says
Edit: I apologise for my usage of cruel language clearly I was quite dumb when I wrote this comment 😂
He is a doctor
I had Same thought but with some respect 😂
he speaks in italic
the accent
I like calm videos like these i need some of these
Bro you are just amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok but that phone flip at the beginning like DAMN
I would buy ALL of these... but allow me to share my current financial status:
Bank account: £20 🤔🤷♂️
Mine is around £ 5 😭
You guys have a bank account???🤔
You guys have something?
You guys?
You ?
Agreed with the Bose headphones. Best purchase ever.
Cool video!
Recommendation: You can buy a smart plug for 30~40€ and controll it with your smartphone which is a bit more convenient
Those headphones are pretty dope! The best sound and comfort you can get, even compare to its competitors like Sony or Surface headphones.
using the surface pro for med school, it's amazing !
I’m in the market to buy a surface book, hows note taking on it?
I just watched this video, in which you showed 4614 followers of your playlist on Spotify, I go to follow it, and you already have 10,347 followers. Amazing. I have a hard time studying with music, the music is usually too distracting for me. You might also like "Lofi hip hop beats - beats to study/relax/game to (Chillhop Music" it's pretty low key music that I find much less distracting than most.
7:10 is golden, I too try to reduce listening to songs with lyrics while working.
Brain.fm is my favorite so far, but I will try your playlist today.
Ultimately I want to fully transition to earplugs but it is a habit I find hard to build on.
Thanks for the video, would also love to see how your experience with Notion is going so far.
Perfect timing.
Hey man! Maybe do a video of cost of living for a student etc?
@@aliabdaal would be quite interesting!
I’ll tell you... an absolute rip off... I have funds to live off 100 pound for food a month... just over 3 pound a day... don’t be a student go do an apprenticeship
Lyrix good luck with that
Such a great channel!
100% agree about the camera, A6000 is a great camera. The 16-50 mm kit lens is a good lens until you can afford a better one or two.
Yep, and the 30mm f1.4 Sigma DC DN that he seems to have is the perfect follow up lens, and perfect all-round lens that can satisfy for the rest of the life of the body.
You’ve convinced me to buy a kindle, leave my phone at the other side of the room at night too
This is really nice and helpful❤️
Completely agree with your recommendations. My next purchase defo has to be a good quality camera. Just got the new AirPods in today and I think they are essential for students and everyone else as they are so convenient. After watching your AirPods review video I just had to get myself a pair, it's a shame apple doesn't sponsor you haha. I uploaded my first ever video today of me unboxing them. Hopefully I can get into the swing of uploading regularly like you do.
Thanks for the timestamps Ali
I’d like to see a video of how you organize your photos. Cloud, hard drives, etc...?
thank you ALI, for your recommended tech. i appreciate

I love that you spent a solid about of time talking about *lamps* it's adorable
This guy is a speedreading genius
You're making some gains!
One of the questions I'm collecting to ask , is could u pls tell me where did u that wallpaper in u r laptop, see that picture in every video u make, just gives me those forestry vibes man👌
You’re study with me playlist is class👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼I’m really interested; where did you come across the httyd soundtrack since it’s criminally under appreciated?
Recommendation from a friend haha
Love you man.😘😀😀
0:22 cool flip.
Ali: crappy iPhone photos
Apple: He did NOT just say that
Do more revision and learning type videos from studies please.
Being a doctor, what is your opinion on using Bluetooth headphones for long periods? Cheers, love your videos.
In Poland most popular students films are about How to survive for 1-2£ per day.
I'm going to check out a Kindle for Christmas. The books are way cheaper than regular paper books. I usually real popular science and most books cost me around 15-40 bucks each. That's a lot of money in the long run.
I listened to the lord if the ring on my Nintendo 2ds i feel asleep just listening
💥📚⚠️Ali, Need your advice 💥📚⚠️
Quick Q:
I've got more or less 50 days left for my exams. I have 8 different papers / exams. Some do have more than 50 days left but I've rounded it to 50.
HOW would I use your topic timetable / retrospective timetable in this instance since I've got to revise for each paper and ONLY have a total of 50 days.
Just to add:
I have 8 papers but only 3 subjects.
- subject 1 = 3 papers
- subject 2 = 2 papers
- subject 3 = 3 papers
Any advice on how to organise all of this into days will be very helpful
Thank you again :)
Nice to see some pictures of my hometown Heidelberg
Hey Dr. Ali... as i told you before, I have started the channel on teaching basics of ECG reading. Waiting for your video on video shooting and editing. The one thing I want to learn is to write on the videos.
:1:46 Crappy iPhone photo
:cries in RealMe C1
looks over at A6000 proudly !!!!
I think you are fantastic...thank you for your channel.
That study playlist is 52 hours long... that's a massive study session!
you've got me at lotr soundtrack
you just churn out brilliant videos every time. And in all of them, I'm amazed by your Mac wallpaper that is shown on your monitor. Anyone knows where to get those kinds of wallpapers?
I think im the only one really cant focus when music is on the background, wether it has lyrics, instrumental, any genre, i tend to listen closly and get lost in the music or imagine a whole freaking movie scene. Im weird.
the fact that i almost own everything on this list makes me feel so proud
Quiet Comfort QC 35 2 are amazing
YES
in my opinion, sony's wh-1000 xm3 is much better
Awesome video! I actually watched a bunch of your videos about the iPad Pro back in September, since this is my first year of university and it has helped me a lot, so thanks for that! I have many of the things mentioned in the video, but I don’t have the kindle. I just recently started reading again (for leisure and not just textbooks), and I really enjoy the physical book in my hand. Is the kindle also as enjoyable of an experience? The down side to buying every book I want to read is that it is quite costly given that books range from $10-30, compared to kindle versions which are less than $5. I also like the freedom of actually owning a book to read at my own pace compared to checking out books from the library.
@@aliabdaal Hah, makes sense. Thanks for your reply!
that phone flip goes hard
it would be really cool if you put your podcast on Spotify too :)
