1. We own all of our time. 2. Hell yeah or no 3. The daily highlight(*) 4. Use a to-do list 5. Time blocking in the calendar 6. Parkinson's law (Work expands to fill the time) - Set an artificial deadline. 7. Have protected time! 8. Delegation 9. Automated scheduling (Calendly) 10. The choice to be satisfied
I think the last tip is the most important, I'm a recovering perfectionist and I have wasted SO much time beating myself up for rest/reboot days or even not getting "enough" done. I'm working on breaking that negative habit! Good enough is good enough! And sometimes good enough is GREAT!
i used to write endless to do lists that were never realistic and then of course felt frustrated when i could not get it all done at the end of the day.
Step 1: Take responsibility with your time, you have time for everything Step 2: When you are young say yes to most things. When you are older use the principle of hell yeah or no Step 3: Set your daily highlight Step 4: Todolist, write it down Step 5: Time blocking, we put a block whenever we tried to do anything Step 6: Parkinson's law to improve our productivity Step 7: Protected time for yourself to do things you like and relax and use your creativity Step 8: Delegation considered your time value, delegate thing you don like like cleaning Step 9: Automated schedulinga not wasted your and their time Step 10: the choice to be satisfy, manage your happiness after a day
Your videos are DANGEROUS!! Just sitting here watching you talk makes me feel like I've been productive, even though I've gotten nothing done😂✌🏻 Great tips as always, Ali!
Hahahah true!! Found his channel when I looked up study tips and that felt like studying eventhough I wasn’t studying fro school, I was studying for life 👀🧑🏻🍳
“You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.” Sometimes we need a reminder like this, if you are reading this have a good day
Ali is changing the entire vibe of productivity. This is such a nice contrast to ‘hustle culture’, both sides are super valuable to gain insights from as someone looking to learn.

Hello sir, I Am a secondary four student in Hong Kong , I just wanted to say, discovering this channel is literally the turning point of My life so far , all of your study or life management videos are amazing and very descriptive! I felt so motivated after watching many of your videos! BTW it is kinda odd to type this kind of stuff in a video but to show my support to your channel is what I truly appreciated! I literally watch your videos and your podcasts everyday after discovering your channel ! Thank you very Much!!!!!
Knowing that he is a doctor, films a vlog, owns a website, and edits a vlog at the same time really signifies that he is good at time management. EDIT: And ALSSSO, a gamer, a book writer, and has skill share courses. WOWWW

There's a book called Hidden Time Wealth, and it talks about how using some secret techniques, you can overcome procrastination and accomplish anything in life. It's not just a bunch of empty promises; it's the real deal.
Ali - you brought great points - I would add 1 more for those who always feel that something is not done or it's not enough. Praise yourself for the little things you accomplish. I started a spreadsheet, for example, where when I accomplish something, I clearly see that, and I am genuinely happy that I accomplished it - even as simple tasks as paying bills, ordering something, etc. Simply coloring the background in Green and putting "YES" as done - feels really good. Prior to that, I was only thinking about what I have not done, being unhappy about that, but now I feel that there are many things I have actually done, which otherwise would go unnoticed if I haven't pointed them out to myself. I hope that makes sense.
Oh my god, I am so happy I found someone who also delegates morning to themselves! I am a working from home and I can basically work at any time I choose, but I really really like having several hours just for myself in the morning, play a game, meditate, exercise etc. I thought it might be weird because everyone usually goes to work early in the morning and has time for themselves in the evening, but I had it backwards. I'd rather have morning off and then work until late and read a book before bed and sleep. Thank you, I don't feel like I am a weird one and that its actually normal to do and depends on preferences!
"Your brain is for having ideas, not holding them" That's a great point since I've been focused on documenting anything that I'm not focused at that particular point in time on my Hive Notes, I feel way more productive. I write down my thoughts and easily make them into action cards when it's time to work on them.
Its nice to have someone who gathered all the knowledge and summarised it for you. Its always better to actually do it yourself and read books just like he does. You can then also gain such depth of knowledge and apply it
I love the idea on the "highlights of the day" and "things to do". Getting one important thing done in a day is already a great thing. Blocking time in calendar for each task is also great. And yes choose what I want to do and be satisfied in the end of the day and keep improving rather than beating myself up
I think you are brilliant. Love your content. I heard this quote…we overestimate what we can get done in a day and underestimate what we can achieve in a one year.
Absolutely love the way you described how we own our time and if something we aren't able to do is mostly because we aren't priotising it enough. But Calendly is exactly the opposite of controlling your own time, its like giving away the control of your free time to others. Not sure I like the idea of letting people decide how they dictate my free time.
I'm a high school student entering the 10th grade and I struggled with my time management last year so this video gave me advice on how I can manage my time ❤️
@@bassoonplatoon3146 about to enter SHS still can't figure everything out how to manage time, I'm so envious of other people have it easy on managing time. I really need some help.
The exact same is for me too. It’s beautiful to meet someone the same age and also being interested in this. I hope you are not struggling with it anymore.🤍 Lots of love to you.💚
I love these videos so much because they helped me change I wasn't a productive person and I didn't know what time management was but now I'm a productive person and I know so many things now thank you. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😊
This is friggin' genius. I have struggled with having to "work" all the time - literally all the time but what happens is I implode and then lose a whole day. Have started to do some of what you itemize organically, but love how you've crystalized the thought process. Thank you!
Ali, could you please make a video about how to stop being guilty about yourself after being so unproductive? Like i would tend to stay in bed much longer if I didn't get up on time, or I would blame myself for wasting sm time yesterday and get sucked into that feelings.
I'm also someone who got sucked into such feelings very frequently. About 5 years ago I realized that problem and I've been learning to live with it since then. From what I've learned so far, I would say the best way is pretty simple, which is to change your way of thinking. Like I would feel the same way as you do but now I would tell myself, be more tolerant with yourself and it's unnecessary to feel guilty for being not productive as it does nothing good to me. Whatever you do at the present moment is what you most wanted to do so just take your time and enjoy it. If you wish to stay in bed for a bit longer then just enjoy your time on the bed, if you feel like playing games for a few hours then just sink yourself into it and not think about anything else. You literally have to keep reminding yourself of that so that you can actually enjoy the process of doing something. My understanding of productive has also changed. In the past I would thought completing many stuff in a day is myself being productive. But overtime I would unfortunately found myself doing them just to tick them off my todo list and not enjoying the process. Not to mention I ignore the fact that many of those stuff are not what I want to do at all. I added more to my todo list just to do more. That's a toxic cycle. So listen to yourself, find what you really want to do for everyday, finish that stuff with all your focus and energy, and be satisfied with the day. Let the rest natural fit in. Hope this can help you bro.
Remember that there is a tmrrw :) Start the next day- it’s not too late! Start implementing this knowledge of productivity into your life and start building the skills
Thank you, Ali. What an inspiring and informative video. As I'm a full-time nightshift worker, I do indeed find that I struggle with my time management and productivity. As I'm a mature individual, I often find myself procrastinating on my days off as I feel tired and unable to concentrate on undertaking and focusing on the Open University courses I've enrolled in. Also, as I do adore running, I'm in training for an ultramarathon next June. Anyway, I will definitely commit to completing one task per day. Thanks again, Ali.
Long time third shifter working ultra runner here... adding sleep struggles, scheduling conflicts due to work schedule, and a very time consuming hobby, we really REALLY need these videos!! 🤣 😂 Best wishes on your journey!
I'm also a nightshift worker and find myself procrastinating on days-off. So in order to get up early on time, I try to add something exciting or supper productive for that day that I know if I do it I'd feel so incredible about myself. Yes sometimes I don't always get to it first but it does help me wake up on time just by thinking about it!
Ali - you brought great points - I would add 1 more for those who always feel that something is not done or it's not enough. Praise yourself for the little things you accomplish. I started a spreadsheet, for example, where when I accomplish something, I clearly see that, and I am genuinely happy that I accomplished it - even as simple tasks as paying bills, ordering something, etc. Simply coloring the background in Green and putting "YES" as done - feels really good.

Dear, here i was, beating myself up for not being productive enough and sucking at managing my time. I browsed for videos about time management and productivity and here you are!! 🎇🎇🎇THE TIME MANAGEMENT FAIRY🎇🎇🎇 I became a fan immediately. Just what I needed. Chapeau!!! You rock at this I'm running to sign up for your courses
I love how the delegation tip is literally "Exploit people that have lower minimum wage than you because your time is more valuable than theirs" Even with harmless intentions, it is in very poor taste.
I have literally watched dozens and dozens of time management and productivity views but this one really hit it home for me. Your strategies are exactly what I needed to hear and will be immediately applying them into my daily routines. Thank you. Just subscribed 👌🏽🙏🏼
Thank you for this! I so agree with what you shared in the beginning, both time used and everything else - we do what we do because we want to! If not, we simply wouldnt do it. Such freedom in just realizing this! That way, we can also feel good when doing it
I love the first tip. If we don't take ownership of our time, we'll live life on autopilot which ultimately lets other people, companies, and things own our time.
Your videos made me realise that being productive is all about the mindset we have before getting to work. How we handle " doing a task " in our brain. Even how we say or how we announce doing that task to ourself ( if it make sense ). Thank you so much Ali.
I totally agree!! Having scheduled work time to get your brain used to productive phases is a great way to fight distraction. What‘s also important is to schedule your study breaks to support memorization! I subscribed 👍
You are an INSPIRATION on how to be whole, happy and successful by taking responsibility with respect and utilizing a comprehensive form of nurturing. What an amazing person. Sort of a "today's" young Aristotle.
Most times at the end of the day I feel satisfied. I write down even the silliest things that made me happy. There are literally have been days where I my "Today's Focus" has been: clean the damn kitchen, wash dishes, organize the fridge. Then I feel happy because that part of my place is nice. I make my bed everyday because I hear that it makes you feel successful. Works!
I started using a To-Do list some time ago and it gives me a sense of urgency to check stuff off, so its definitely effective lol. Also, It's important to apply the Eisenhower Matrix when creating a To-Do list in order to distinguish what's urgent but not important vs. what is not urgent but is important to reach our life goals. A really great book "The 12-Week Year" - Brian P. Moran & Michael Lennington.
Hidden Time Wealth is so unique. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about it sooner. It’s amazing how life-changing this can be for anyone battling procrastination.
The 'dissatisfaction at the end of the day' is so relatable !! One thing I have found really helpful is : before going to bed, I write (type) down all the things I did that day. It not only gives me satisfaction but at times when the list is too short, it pushes me to lengthen the list the next day. "Good stuff" Ali !
VERY ENGAGING FROM BEGINNING TO END, A YEAR FROM NOW YOU'LL EITHER BE HAPPY THAT YOU STARTED WORKING ON YOUR DREAMS OR WISHING THAT YOU HAD STARTED, GET STARTED NOW AND DON'T LIVE WITH REGRETS! You can do it!
@@luisenrique6547 If you trade with a skilled trader such as Mr. John Scaparrotti, his trading strategies are very good, that won't be a problem and bother you.
I think that three points really stuck with me. Owning your time, Parkinson's Law and Choosing to be satisfied with what you've done. As someone who already uses most of these tricks, these three really stuck the most because these three really remind me that *I am responsible with my time, how I choose to do with my time, and my satisfaction with my efforts.*
The moment you mentioned playing six hours of WoW ... and then you are a doctor... I am all ears! I also have lots of distracting weaknesses that kill my time and want to know how to solve that (or at least don't feel guilty)... You created empathy right from the beginning!
I have been dedicating time before I start to do something (like homework/work) to write down what I need to get done. I make a list, and then rearrange it from most important to least. And then I rearrange again for time sensitivity. Doing this has made me more organized of my time and saved me a LOT of time
These are great tips for a very specific audience. Most of us don't own our own business or can afford to set our own deadlines and forgive ourselves if we don't complete our to-do list for the day. I can't even imagine scheduling protected time, much less 4 hours of it. Honestly, I don't even have time to take a shower sometimes! But congratulations on all of your success. I definitely wish I could work for myself and be the boss of my time. One thing though. I didn't like your mention of paying freelances from countries where they don't have any other option but to accept $7/h for something that would be paid more in the states or in Europe. I know it's not your job to change the world but it does more harm than good when you recommend others to do the same.
right? he literally says to exploit people as if anyone's time is really worth less than your own!! after saying that "we own all of our time" ! i didnt have the stomach to watch it all. he is just saying anyone has the same 24hours as beyonce as if everyone could outsource cleaners, freelancers, etc. no sense of ethics at all
I understand the hell yea or no principle but I find that even when I say yes to plans I feel maybe about, I end up really enjoying them thus encouraging my future self to keep saying yes to those “maybe” feelings
In South Africa we say uyinja’yami which means ‘you are my dog’. You speak my language. From Systems super reading Goals and WE OWN OUR TIME. When this dawned on me my whole paradigm shifted. Most of all my dude, just thank you. Really, quality genuine conscious content. Thank You.
The choice to be satisfied is probably the hardest one in my opinion. When you start becoming more productive, it becomes kind of addicting lol. You start to have bigger and bigger goals for each day, start to optimize every bit of time so you can try to do more but, its never enough! You feel like you can always optimize something in your day and do better. This sometimes drives me crazy... So even being productive as opposed to being lazy and not doing anything, has its downsides. I would still rather be on the productive spectrum. But yeah, if you learn to be satisfied with the work you did, even though it wasn't everything you planned to do - you won at life!
8:23 well that really sucks for your outsourced employees haha because things are getting more and more expensive and $7 is not gonna cut it anymore :)
The best video on time management I've ever seen.... I needed this badly cuz continuous lockdown has killed the urge to be productive for me..... This was resulting in guilt. Thank you ❣️🙏💕
Discovering Hidden Time Wealth has been one of the best things I've done for my productivity. It feels like I’ve finally cracked the code to overcoming procrastination.
1- At any moment you are doing something you want to do. We are always in control of our time. 2 - What is worth doing, hello yes or no. If hesitate that means no. 3 - Daily highlights. 4 - use to do list. 5 - Concept of time blocking and calendar . 6 - Work expands itself to fill the time. 7 - Protected time ( e g for writing book). 8 - Delegation
What a blessed time to be alive, having Ali spill all his knowledge and tips for us to implement in our daily lives. Thank you Ali for all that you share on this platform!
POR FAVOR!!!! QUE LE PAGUE A ALGUIEN PAREA QUE HAGA ESTOS TIPOS DE VIDEOS, LE IRIA MUY BIEN, SERIA TIPO UN TRADUCTOR REPITIERA LO DE EL PERO EN ESPAÑOL
*One of the most effective way to manage time is to KNOW exactly what you're going to do for the day.* *Instead of wasting time and attention, schedule your tomorrow at nights. 5 minutes is definitely enough.*
I'm struggling with that 5-10 min that's why I'm here. I used to take less time on my morning routine( journaling, meditation and book reading) but recently it's taking longer than 3 hours. Will try to revert back to this system again thanks!!
Curious if we can get a comment section discussion going about the first point! I think i generally agree that we are in control of our time, but i think it works more when you’re an adult. if you’re still a student, living with your parents, etc. you can’t always control your time. Your family is taking you places, you have homework for classes that aren’t your favourite but are required nonetheless. So how does that first point apply in cases like that? the degree is what you want, but this course unrelated to your degree but required for graduation is not what you want to do?
I mean even in adult life I'd argue that it works even less. Sure, a 35 year old mother would really rather spend her time skiing in the alps for example but she has bills to pay so she has to work and children to take care of.
I beat myself almost daily to be honest just because I am unable to accomplish more. Even though we are consistent about things, there is still more on the ladder to climb. Well, I think I will just choose to be satisfied from now on because beating oneself doesn't help. Thanks for the tip! (P.S. I am a waste man too haha)

Be your own best friend, what would you say to your loved one if they sometimes just feel lazy or curse themselves just because they wake up late
Say that to yourself. You'll be surprised the difference when you brave enough to show that you love yourself
I'm also someone who got sucked into such feelings very frequently. About 5 years ago I realized that problem and I've been learning to live with it since then. From what I've learned so far, I would say the best way is pretty simple, which is to change your way of thinking. Like I would feel the same way as you do but now I would tell myself, be more tolerant with yourself and it's unnecessary to feel guilty for being not productive as it does nothing good to me. Whatever you do at the present moment is what you most wanted to do so just take your time and enjoy it. If you wish to stay in bed for a bit longer then just enjoy your time on the bed, if you feel like playing games for a few hours then just sink yourself into it and not think about anything else. You literally have to keep reminding yourself of that so that you can actually enjoy the process of doing something. My understanding of productive has also changed. In the past I would thought completing many stuff in a day is myself being productive. But overtime I would unfortunately found myself doing them just to tick them off my todo list and not enjoying the process. Not to mention I ignore the fact that many of those stuff are not what I want to do at all. I added more to my todo list just to do more. That's a toxic cycle. So listen to yourself, find what you really want to do for everyday, finish that stuff with all your focus and energy, and be satisfied with the day. Let the rest natural fit in. Hope this can help you bro.
I think he did. That is called “protected time”.
Your welcome 🙏
Remember that there is a tmrrw :) Start the next day- it’s not too late! Start implementing this knowledge of productivity into your life and start building the skills
Thank you, Ali. What an inspiring and informative video. As I'm a full-time nightshift worker, I do indeed find that I struggle with my time management and productivity. As I'm a mature individual, I often find myself procrastinating on my days off as I feel tired and unable to concentrate on undertaking and focusing on the Open University courses I've enrolled in. Also, as I do adore running, I'm in training for an ultramarathon next June. Anyway, I will definitely commit to completing one task per day. Thanks again, Ali.
Long time third shifter working ultra runner here... adding sleep struggles, scheduling conflicts due to work schedule, and a very time consuming hobby, we really REALLY need these videos!! 🤣 😂 Best wishes on your journey!
I'm also a nightshift worker and find myself procrastinating on days-off. So in order to get up early on time, I try to add something exciting or supper productive for that day that I know if I do it I'd feel so incredible about myself. Yes sometimes I don't always get to it first but it does help me wake up on time just by thinking about it!
Ali - you brought great points - I would add 1 more for those who always feel that something is not done or it's not enough.
Praise yourself for the little things you accomplish. I started a spreadsheet, for example, where when I accomplish something, I clearly see that, and I am genuinely happy that I accomplished it - even as simple tasks as paying bills, ordering something, etc. Simply coloring the background in Green and putting "YES" as done - feels really good. Prior to that, I was only thinking about what I have not done, being unhappy about that, but now I feel that there are many things I have actually done, which otherwise would go unnoticed if I haven't pointed them out to myself. I hope that makes sense.
Dear, here i was, beating myself up for not being productive enough and sucking at managing my time. I browsed for videos about time management and productivity and here you are!! 🎇🎇🎇THE TIME MANAGEMENT FAIRY🎇🎇🎇 I became a fan immediately. Just what I needed.
Chapeau!!! You rock at this
I'm running to sign up for your courses
Idk why I feel so productive while watching Ali's video.
This is my fav channel. I’ve just known you a few days ago and I’m now hooked to your videos and you do motivate me .Thank you Ali
I love the short intros. It's really satisfying to jump almost straight into the video.
I love how the delegation tip is literally "Exploit people that have lower minimum wage than you because your time is more valuable than theirs"
Even with harmless intentions, it is in very poor taste.
Peak capitalist mindset - was shocked to hear this
I'd argue: what's poor about that? (please set aside the 'moralistic' BS from the very start, that's just hypocrisy)
I have literally watched dozens and dozens of time management and productivity views but this one really hit it home for me. Your strategies are exactly what I needed to hear and will be immediately applying them into my daily routines. Thank you. Just subscribed 👌🏽🙏🏼
Thank you for this! I so agree with what you shared in the beginning, both time used and everything else - we do what we do because we want to! If not, we simply wouldnt do it. Such freedom in just realizing this! That way, we can also feel good when doing it
Being productive while fasting throughout the day is a HUGE but not imposssible challenge
I love the first tip. If we don't take ownership of our time, we'll live life on autopilot which ultimately lets other people, companies, and things own our time.
Your videos made me realise that being productive is all about the mindset we have before getting to work. How we handle " doing a task " in our brain. Even how we say or how we announce doing that task to ourself ( if it make sense ). Thank you so much Ali.
Thanks
Wish I could make videos as good as this. Watching it makes me feel Productive 😀
🌈🌈🤙
I totally agree!! Having scheduled work time to get your brain used to productive phases is a great way to fight distraction. What‘s also important is to schedule your study breaks to support memorization! I subscribed 👍

You are an INSPIRATION on how to be whole, happy and successful by taking responsibility with respect and utilizing a comprehensive form of nurturing.
What an amazing person.
Sort of a "today's" young Aristotle.
Most times at the end of the day I feel satisfied. I write down even the silliest things that made me happy. There are literally have been days where I my "Today's Focus" has been: clean the damn kitchen, wash dishes, organize the fridge. Then I feel happy because that part of my place is nice. I make my bed everyday because I hear that it makes you feel successful. Works!
This is gold! Thanks! 💥🙌🏾
I learned far more from this channel than from my school. 🤷♀️🤦♀️
Just found this video randomly and I enjoyed it so much. Thank you.
I started using a To-Do list some time ago and it gives me a sense of urgency to check stuff off, so its definitely effective lol. Also, It's important to apply the Eisenhower Matrix when creating a To-Do list in order to distinguish what's urgent but not important vs. what is not urgent but is important to reach our life goals.
A really great book "The 12-Week Year" - Brian P. Moran & Michael Lennington.
Thanks!
Hidden Time Wealth is so unique. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about it sooner. It’s amazing how life-changing this can be for anyone battling procrastination.
love your TH-cam videos , you’re one of the reasons I created my channel. Keep up the work.
Cool
The 'dissatisfaction at the end of the day' is so relatable !! One thing I have found really helpful is : before going to bed, I write (type) down all the things I did that day. It not only gives me satisfaction but at times when the list is too short, it pushes me to lengthen the list the next day. "Good stuff" Ali !
VERY ENGAGING FROM BEGINNING TO END, A YEAR FROM NOW YOU'LL EITHER BE HAPPY THAT YOU STARTED WORKING ON YOUR DREAMS OR WISHING THAT YOU HAD STARTED, GET STARTED NOW AND DON'T LIVE WITH REGRETS! You can do it!
One day or day one Your choice, Regardless, businesses and investments are the most clear ways to make money.
People will be kicking themselves in few weeks if they miss the opportunity to buy and invest in Bitcoin.
Obviously, I decided to trade cryptocurrencies but was put off by the market uncertainty.
@@luisenrique6547 If you trade with a skilled trader such as Mr. John Scaparrotti, his trading strategies are very good, that won't be a problem and bother you.
I have worked with 4 traders in the past but none of them is as efficient as Mr. John Scaparrotti, His trading strategies is awesome!
I think that three points really stuck with me.
Owning your time, Parkinson's Law and Choosing to be satisfied with what you've done.
As someone who already uses most of these tricks, these three really stuck the most because these three really remind me that *I am responsible with my time, how I choose to do with my time, and my satisfaction with my efforts.*
The moment you mentioned playing six hours of WoW ... and then you are a doctor... I am all ears! I also have lots of distracting weaknesses that kill my time and want to know how to solve that (or at least don't feel guilty)... You created empathy right from the beginning!
I have been dedicating time before I start to do something (like homework/work) to write down what I need to get done. I make a list, and then rearrange it from most important to least. And then I rearrange again for time sensitivity. Doing this has made me more organized of my time and saved me a LOT of time
🔝🔝🔝🔝
Thanks for your feedback.
Send me a direct msg, I have something to share with you.......
These are great tips for a very specific audience. Most of us don't own our own business or can afford to set our own deadlines and forgive ourselves if we don't complete our to-do list for the day. I can't even imagine scheduling protected time, much less 4 hours of it. Honestly, I don't even have time to take a shower sometimes! But congratulations on all of your success. I definitely wish I could work for myself and be the boss of my time. One thing though. I didn't like your mention of paying freelances from countries where they don't have any other option but to accept $7/h for something that would be paid more in the states or in Europe. I know it's not your job to change the world but it does more harm than good when you recommend others to do the same.
right? he literally says to exploit people as if anyone's time is really worth less than your own!! after saying that "we own all of our time" ! i didnt have the stomach to watch it all. he is just saying anyone has the same 24hours as beyonce as if everyone could outsource cleaners, freelancers, etc. no sense of ethics at all
That being said, I agree that the "dollar value of time" bit is still very elitist.
Delegation is key - building a team around you can help unlock new levels of productivity.
I understand the hell yea or no principle but I find that even when I say yes to plans I feel maybe about, I end up really enjoying them thus encouraging my future self to keep saying yes to those “maybe” feelings
In South Africa we say uyinja’yami which means ‘you are my dog’. You speak my language. From Systems super reading Goals and WE OWN OUR TIME. When this dawned on me my whole paradigm shifted.
Most of all my dude, just thank you. Really, quality genuine conscious content. Thank You.
The choice to be satisfied is probably the hardest one in my opinion. When you start becoming more productive, it becomes kind of addicting lol. You start to have bigger and bigger goals for each day, start to optimize every bit of time so you can try to do more but, its never enough! You feel like you can always optimize something in your day and do better. This sometimes drives me crazy... So even being productive as opposed to being lazy and not doing anything, has its downsides. I would still rather be on the productive spectrum. But yeah, if you learn to be satisfied with the work you did, even though it wasn't everything you planned to do - you won at life!
8:23 well that really sucks for your outsourced employees haha because things are getting more and more expensive and $7 is not gonna cut it anymore :)
it’s still going to cut it, educate yourself
It's per hour bro
The best video on time management I've ever seen.... I needed this badly cuz continuous lockdown has killed the urge to be productive for me..... This was resulting in guilt. Thank you ❣️🙏💕
The concept of Hidden Time Wealth blew my mind. It’s like finding a cheat code for productivity and defeating procrastination.
I admire you for being able to actually manage your time
I am never disappointed by the quality of your videos! Sometimes it don’t feels right to watch them for free.😂
wonderful insights! 👌😌
Beep
Thanks so much! This made me very inspired ❤ also for the horde 😂
This has genuinely changed my life, thank you.
Discovering Hidden Time Wealth has been one of the best things I've done for my productivity. It feels like I’ve finally cracked the code to overcoming procrastination.
1- At any moment you are doing something you want to do. We are always in control of our time. 2 - What is worth doing, hello yes or no. If hesitate that means no. 3 - Daily highlights. 4 - use to do list. 5 - Concept of time blocking and calendar . 6 - Work expands itself to fill the time. 7 - Protected time ( e g for writing book). 8 - Delegation
What a blessed time to be alive, having Ali spill all his knowledge and tips for us to implement in our daily lives. Thank you Ali for all that you share on this platform!
¡Necesitamos más contenido así en español! 🙌
¿Alguien más viendo esto de Latinoamérica? 😁
POR FAVOR!!!! QUE LE PAGUE A ALGUIEN PAREA QUE HAGA ESTOS TIPOS DE VIDEOS, LE IRIA MUY BIEN, SERIA TIPO UN TRADUCTOR REPITIERA LO DE EL PERO EN ESPAÑOL
ahh te entiendo pero hay muchos canales así si buscas 'productividad, invertir o algo asi'
1 + minute into the video and I’m lovin’ it already :) paused to take ‘time’ cause wanted to appreciate you for confirming something I had known.
This guy is friendly, bordering on charisma
First rule is priceless
Pretty good music, too
Welp! This video gave me the excuse to resub to WoW when TBC classic comes out 🙄Blaming you Ali
Haha yesssssss
@@aliabdaal somebody used your name in the above comments and texted me a whatsapp number...please do check is it safe
@Ali Abdaal i am speaking about you...
@heens x ikr, these people have no shame. Anyways thanks man😊
*One of the most effective way to manage time is to KNOW exactly what you're going to do for the day.*
*Instead of wasting time and attention, schedule your tomorrow at nights. 5 minutes is definitely enough.*
Or in the morning, take 5 to 10 minutes. It will make the rest of the 6/7 hours more productive.
I'm struggling with that 5-10 min that's why I'm here. I used to take less time on my morning routine( journaling, meditation and book reading) but recently it's taking longer than 3 hours. Will try to revert back to this system again thanks!!
Curious if we can get a comment section discussion going about the first point! I think i generally agree that we are in control of our time, but i think it works more when you’re an adult. if you’re still a student, living with your parents, etc. you can’t always control your time. Your family is taking you places, you have homework for classes that aren’t your favourite but are required nonetheless. So how does that first point apply in cases like that? the degree is what you want, but this course unrelated to your degree but required for graduation is not what you want to do?
I mean even in adult life I'd argue that it works even less. Sure, a 35 year old mother would really rather spend her time skiing in the alps for example but she has bills to pay so she has to work and children to take care of.
Urs bgm made my day ❤
It's eo enchanting ❤❤❤
(Ur content too 😁)
In the midst of this burnout... This video turned out to be a light ❤... Thanks Ali
the last one hit me :') Thank you, Ali
The impact you have on my motivation is priceless, my friend. Thank you for doing this. Just know that you've impacted at least one life out there.
I understand why I am different from the millionaire. I listen to motivation video instead of getting work done :)
Thank you for the great content and your words of wisdom!
I beat myself almost daily to be honest just because I am unable to accomplish more. Even though we are consistent about things, there is still more on the ladder to climb. Well, I think I will just choose to be satisfied from now on because beating oneself doesn't help. Thanks for the tip! (P.S. I am a waste man too haha)
"The key is in not spending time, but in investing it." Great video Ali 👍 (still watching it btw) :)
Love how you always get straight to the point. Thank you and please keep doing what you're doing!
Thx bro
