In this episode of BOOK CLUB, we're talking about how to combat the lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes and the struggle against distraction which I learned from reading Oliver Burkeman's book 'Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals'. These lessons have helped to change my outlook and attitudes to time management and are super useful to learn early on in your journey to being more productive and living a more meaningful life.

WHO AM I:
I’m Ali, a TH-camr, podcaster, soon-to-be author and ex-Doctor working in London, UK. I make videos that explore the strategies and tools that help us live happier, healthier and more productive lives. I also have a weekly podcast called Deep Dive (th-cam.com/channels/hfo.html..., and I write a weekly email newsletter that contains some quick thoughts + links to interesting things (email.aliabdaal.com).

I love how we are all catching up to the idea of doing less and focusing on the things that truly brings us satisfaction and joy.
Totally right!
This also reminded me of an idea that Ali talked once-
For any particular decision, it should either be HELL YES!! or if it's anything below that, it should be a NO.
I LOVE this mindset
Exactly. A mindfulness book called 30 Days to Overcome Procrastination by Corin Devaso helped me with this.
I love the two jars on the desk - both with the same items, except the left one illustrating how if you get the big stuff in first, you will be able to squeeze the little things in later.
Your videos never fail to keep me on track with my goals and productivity. Amazing as usual!
my friend literally told me this for my uni exam in 2 days!!!! so good so helpful. thank u
Fantastic video! Something I’ve always struggled with, thank you
thanks Ali i actualy was searching for a way to find time to do my personal project besides my medical school studying & the idea of starting my day with it will make me feel much better about myself & give me positive energy for study also ... that was stressing me a lot these days 🥺 .. thank you again 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
I picked it up a month ago and It’s really interesting. I think it resonates more with me than other “productivity” books. Thanks great video!
Since you recommended atomic habits and can’t hurt me I’ve ALWAYS taken your book recommendations. These two books changed my life and I’m definitely open for new books to try 🙏🏽
Yes Atomic habit is a masterpiece
You also have to read CompoundEffect by darrenhardy if you didn't read it 🙂

Thank you for this,Ali!
Yey a book club atlast! So excited
I read the book when I first heard about it in your podcast. Absolutely lifechanging🙌🙌
Great video Ali - I couldn't help but connect a lot of the tips you shared to the concepts of stoicism - such as realising the shortness of life, embracing our fate and focusing on what is most essential.
Truly an excellent read that transcends the typical productivity genre.
Thank you, Ali, for all of your videos! There is a lot of information, inspiration and even implementetion in them. God bless you, all of you here!
I believe you said something profound: the most consistent way to be productive is to enjoy what you do. Thank you for making this video!
This video popped up in the right time. I'm overwhelmed because there are many things I want to do and many skills I want to equip. I will try to make opened and closed lists.
As someone who tends to watch these types of videos at 1.5 speed, I appreciate that you can talk so quickly and clearly at the same time.
I have to slow it down to half speed to take notes so Ali sounds drunk throughout
Great stuff as always!!!!👍👍
When we embrace our limits, we STOP ENDLESS PROCRASTINATION..My word
Amazing stuff thanks! 🙌🏽
Love your style of videos! Thanks for the great sum up!
Having a 4K weeks calendar can make us productive since it can remind us that we are not in this world forever.
really cool, that you link to all the stuff in the description...for example I wanted to watch the Podcast with Oliver...opened the description and there it was :)
Keep up the good videos Ali :)
Just awesome! Thank you Ali!
My man, i love your channel. I however struggle to listen and internalize the learning at the same time as you speak really fast. But you keep doing what you are doing as you are doing great.
And i thought i was being productive by keeping my desk clean everyday 😐..... Such a good reflection! Thanks Ali. ❤
My fave TH-camr - thank you 😊
Loved this!!💫💫
Great Summary, will check this book out. I especially like the point about paying yourself first in relation to how you spend your time, usually this phrase is always used regarding money. I totally agree on giving your best time to the things that are most important to you
I needed this especially now when I seem to have less than 24 hours like everyone else.. taking in notes 📝, thanks for this

Thanks Ali👍👍 you incourage me to read this book as fast as possible.
Just added to audible! Sold.
Ali always has great book recommendations. :)
It's in my reading list i suppose to start tomorrow 😁 thank you for the review
Great video. Giving lots of value as always Ali 👍
you are awsome , i enjoyed this so much
this will keep me from burning out in everything I do , cause I sometimes peak with passion and at times i get so so low with my intentions
Awesome review and insights. Thank you :)
I already use a Kanban method (& board) for each quarter and it was helping me become much more intentional with the little time within being at university while working and approaching better self-development. I had but I will be picking up the open & closed to-do list and a copy of 4,000 weeks. Thanks
Thank you Ali
You’ve been an amazing person and great inspiration ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇳🇬🇳🇬
Great content, as always; and I love the editing!

Productivity is like a battle with yourself. It's a skill too (If you look at it closely), and the more you develop your self-discipline the easier it becomes.
So true!
Another great book club ep
Seeing your life visually in weeks is such a powerful reminder that life in its entirety is not promised, so how and what can we do to make the most of it? Looking forward to sinking my teeth into this recommendation. Thank you always for what you do, Ali!
Already read it - amazing book 🙏🏼
Yes
Cool, I've been reading Tropic of Cancer except I like to pretend the character Van Norden is like a Bailey Jay, mite write my own book think I'll call it "Beyond the Valley of Penises"
Yeah
Tiny details like occasionally zooming and out the screen and exact same pitch of voice while cutting and continuing scenes are really well thought 👍🏻
Finally finally finally... an episode of book club....

I enjoy and learn from your videos so much and the production quality is insane 💯🔥 Inspiring to me as a TH-cam creator … much love Ali ❤️
That poster is quite cool. Seeing all the weeks that make up your life can shift our perspective to look at what we do each day more from the outside than being totally immersed in it. Want to hang one up next to my desk as a little counterbalance to all the work stuff happening there :)

Ali I am doing the exact same thing, before work every morning. What I do is I play a few games of Fortnite or LoL and I watch a few videos on the other monitor. I always believed is like a morning ritual, doing the thing you like before work.. Nice vid and nice point too.
This is so hard for me to do. Everyday I feel in discomfort and I’m trying desperately to escape it.
But the reality is it has to be laid one brick at a time. I’m trying to learn to live with that and practice patience.
You can do it 🙏🏼
Awwwww I feel your pain too love , been in that shoes a million times .....but you e just to keep on thriving ok ?
You can reach out to me I’ll give you some insight into my money making methods which will benefit you , I don’t normally do this but sorry ok
Thank so much Ali, this wa really helpful.

Thank you for the video. It's really hard for me to focus on my projects with so many financial problems that disrupt concentration and drain the energy from what I enjoy doing.
Hello Ali, great video!! It is so useful to see our lives in the scope of time we may have here....interesting book - thanks for reviewing this for us :)
Thanks for this productive tip😊😊😊
The way Ali explains things so precisely is just fabulous.
I like the idea of working on personal projects first and of finding things to intentionally fail at, or rather, forgiving ourselves for not succeeding in every "important" thing in life. Maybe I can accept now that I'll probably never get to inbox 0. Also, I think it's really cool, Ali, that you pay your employees to essentially spend an hour of their workday working for themselves.
Write me up on whatsapp I will introduce you to nice investment plan it will help you
Thanks for speaking so fast and fitting heaps into the time you spent filming this video 😂
Although perhaps I didn’t really watch it because I fall in the age category that apparently doesn’t exist for your watchers!
Ahhhhh, luckily I go chill out in the Lands Between.
I think I saw this video at the right time. …thank you so much :) this has helped ...
Hey Ali, I dunno if your gonna read this but I hope you make a video for teenagers about what they learn during their summer vacations that will compound over time to produce great results. Ty
Love this video
I feel like this works awesome for people like myself. However for others who struggle to get off the couch it might just encourage them to accept they’re going to fail as some things? I can see that being taken too far maybe. Regardless, I’m getting that book! Time is my biggest struggle. Thank you!
I love it 🥰 plus this is how fast I talk all the time now I see how it is hehe
I'm in the middle of this book right now and absolutely love it! I had just finished The Power of Now as I picked it up too and there are a bunch of really interesting overlaps. If anyone reads this and is unsure whether or not to give the book a read, I'd really encourage you give it 10 mins :)

been thinking about reading that since I'm almost done with A new earth
@@Angelo-wg2kb ooo love that one too! I'd definitely recommend :)
I like your productive vedios
very much your explain style is too good ever 🥰
This book was incredible! I feel like I spent so many years chasing some fantasy of productivity, and this book brought me down to earth.

Action come from stillness. Fear based action is called activity and most of us are just steeped in activity, rather than taking right action from a place of peace
I'm currently in the middle of week 4009 and I'm just getting started!
Ali in 2022 is really forcing me to play in 0.75x speed.... in 2019 I can still understand but now I will miss each of these wonderful analysis 😆😆😆 listening and understanding the deeper analysis are 2 works I'm trying to do whenever watching your video 🌟🌟
Wowww you are gem of a person 👍👍👍
Prepositions, articles, and conjunctions - I typically also write them in lower case too (noticing your titling/title). 😘
Great, just great
Sounds good 👍. Watched this whilst ruining my eyesight over cream cotton crochet project. #relaxing 😂
Damn, loved this video!
Write me up on whatsapp I will introduce you to nice investment plan it will help you
Just finished this book and Wow It has definitely changed my perspective on how I want to live my life
nearly 3M!!
Existence isn't a coincidence, but this is something I definitely needed to hear today.
What I’ve found out observing my own productivity is that you also have to factor in energy level (physical and mental energy). Low stamina and brain fog just ruin whatever discipline you have with time. I worked with improving my energy (I read “Energy Paradox” by dr. Gundry), and productivity followed.
To help you practice doing nothing-I've actually found it helps me stay *more focused* throughout the day if I practice presence like you explained when taking breaks from deep work.
It seems like focus doesn't run out anymore.
I'm calling it the Focus-First Lifestyle: focusing 100% of the time-oddly enough-is easier.
The MrWhoseTheBoss influence is strong haha - liking the new videographic style.
This book is amazing
thank you
There is power in being still :)
Interesting video 👍
" PRODUCTIVITY FOLLOWS PASSION "
- Always keep this in mind
there is a Brazilian book translated would be called something like "society of tiredness" and talks about how we just dont know how to rest and thats why burnout is just inevitable nowadays.. rediscover how to rest is something more challenging than we can imagine
On the other end, so many of my friends don't make time to enjoy their lives now. Planning, saving, investing for the future is great but don't forget to live.
Wow Ali is a great boss letting his employees have their first hour free for themselves. In the long run, I'm sure it will pay off immensely. I would love to work for him.
love it
great video~ I am now in confusion. not knowing how to improve my time management
yeah as a content creator there's one big issue that you have many hats, you never have enough time for a rest when you're still in the inital stage 😝Thank you for sharing more tips for who wants to be their own boss one day!
ɪ ɢᴏᴛ ꜱᴏᴍᴇ ɴᴇᴡ ʙᴜꜱɪɴᴇꜱꜱ ɪᴅᴇᴀꜱ ᴛᴏ ꜱʜᴀʀᴇ
hey Ali! I just had a request. I tend to follow things you say (well most of them). I just want a video from you based around OVERTHINKING. (after watching the confidence one :) I just would really appreciate that. Thank you !
“You are the only one who can define your success”.
Ali you should do a video in how to be a productive talker and talk in 2x speed as your normal speech speed LOL😂.
Quite important to know that we can't do everything.
Time might not always be a constraint but in ceratin instances it is. For example, you might have your whole life ahead of you to start a business or change your job but careers like that of athletes have a limited time frame. Once you've passed the time frame it can be really difficult to achieve that dream especially if you don't start young.
this is the only channel that I don't feel guilty about watching
ɪ ɢᴏᴛ ꜱᴏᴍᴇ ɴᴇᴡ ʙᴜꜱɪɴᴇꜱꜱ ɪᴅᴇᴀꜱ ᴛᴏ ꜱʜᴀʀᴇ
Is it only me that checks if I am putting speed 1x5 every-time I watch Ali's videos 😂 Great content!
