It would be super cool if you made a journal with these prompts built in.

Don't just learn, experience. Don't just read, absorb. Don't just change, transform. Don't just relate, advocate. Don't just promise, prove. Don't just criticize, encourage. Don't just think, ponder. Don't just take, give. Don't just see, feel. Don’t just dream, do. Don't just hear, listen. Don't just talk, act. Don't just tell, show. Don't just exist, live

As a mom of 2 adult kids, when I let go of trying to pursue a career and focused on raising my kids and being present for every moment, I gained peace. I have 2 hard working kids, they are kind and overall good human beings. It is the best rewards I could have done in my life and have a 30+ year marriage in complete harmony. It is okay to have white space in your calendar. Things come in time with patience and when you are ready to handle it.

This one’s by far the most favourite episodes of yours Ali. I’m watching you from past 4-5 yrs and your smile feels more warm now. I use to watch your videos for getting inspiration for medical school and from there till now so much has changed, with you and with me as well. I didn’t pass my medical school examination and sometimes I couldn’t watch your videos because I use to feel embarrassed as here you’re doing everything from med school to business and KZread besides all the negative comments you use to get. But with time, you open up more about your feelings and difficulties and you look normal like us just more PRDUCTIVE 😅. I know it’s nothing personal but I feel proud in knowing you and your achievements feels personal. With time I’ve also accepted my self and got enroll in a doctorate course and apart from that I’ve started to run my art business and started earning by this year. I hope to meet you someday and hug you. I know you might not know me and probably I know you only from videos but the hardship you must’ve faced and the amount of trust and faith you’ve in you, it’s something I’m seeking in myself ❤

Random: I’ve always found your videos super calming but was never able to pinpoint why. I first thought it was the tone of your voice? Or your laid back attitude? And I just now realized it’s the classical music that plays in the background!!!! 👏🏼

Sincerity is your strength. Thank you.

Ali : "I'm a productivity beast" 💪 Me: watching this video instead of being productive 👀

I needed to hear so much of what you shared in this video. Thank you for doing the hard work and sharing the success, failures, and lessons learned.

your videos are so therapeutic! please do more of these where you talk about your thoughts so candidly

Ali, do you realize how many people you helped and changed their lives ?! I love you so much and I just wish I could be like you and help others

THANK YOU, from my heart for being honest and put yourself out there so we know we are not alone struggling with this stuff. One year ago I started as executive director in an NGO and basically the person doing everything! and Its it my dream job, I wanted for so long to work in climate change and having a platform to impact people and I MADE IT, but it is also exhausting so much responsability and the administrative stuff and getting money, etc, etc. And sometimes is not fun anymore because I forget the purpose, why accepted this in the first place and I have to remind myself that more often. So thanks for sharing your journey so we can have a better one too.

I came across your channel and really love how inspiring your story is. You shared some great tips on productivity. I'm a registered nurse who recently decided to quit my job and pursue health coaching/teaching, more in holistic nutrition. Your content is very relatable as you have a medical background and I love the idea you shared. They are so simple and applicable. Thanks for the brilliant contents you shared. I bought your book and loving every bit of it.

I love this vid Ali! Points 4 and 7 are ones that I've also been thinking about a lot and ones I try to remind myself often. Loved hearing your thoughts, thanks for this.

Super amazing video!! 😭🙏🌟 seriously have changed my life as a student and the way I look at productivity and enjoying life in general. Thanks for existing Ali

Omg this is one of my favorite videos of yours :) ! So glad you feel inspired it again ! Congrats for the book !

My three favorite channels: Ali Abdaal, Stock Brotha, & How Money Works. Make my week complete! 🔥 🔥 🔥

That was soo relieving♥️, I wished the video just kept going... I just appreciate that you keep showing into our lives with these kind of gems and wise advices let's say...

Thank you for this inspiring video! Btw loved the calming classical background music. 😊

hi ali, i’d love to see videos on these topics or something along those lines 1. your favourite newsletters 2. 13 reasons why ‘hey, you’re doing amazing, don’t lose hope and just keep going queen :)’ (where you literally talk to the audience, rather than telling us ways to overcome anxiety and stress etc) emphasis on the second one!! please start a “therapy club” playlist. nerds that watch your videos get stressed out too, and i’d absolutely love to watch them every time i’m feeling down as well.

Bro get some therapy club

You are awesome man! Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing your life advice!

Oh my goodness - yesssss! Headspace! You totally articulated this in a way I couldn't wrap my head around...I have times where I feel like I can't even think and then other times where I am so creative and productive but I just didn't understand what was happening - great insight!

I was really happy to see your name pop up on Headspace during my meditation session today... congratulations 👍🏼... Journey over destination all the way.

Loving all the videos you've been making lately, and the quantity of them!

I love all of these! Speaking to your point of creating headspace, I've noticed that when I recognize that times of stress are temporary and have an end date, it helps me get through it easier. For example, promoting your book for pre-sale didn't last forever. It was a temporary time of stress and busyness that lasted for a time, but now you have that time back. The same goes for learning something new or moving or any other stressful period. 😊

That Frog book made no sense to me as a night owl i did mornings for years then switched to doing hardest thing in afternoons and evenings and my productivity skyrocketed

love thy way this man makes me learn .❤

Your video literally made me feel heard. I have been grinding to study my pre-med degree and work to pay my bills at the same time, and I have been burnt out. The way you described your experience and how needing headspace is necessary really resonated with me because I am also someone that loves to overpack their schedule. And lastly, if it were not because you reminded me to realize that my life today was what I dreamed of doing when I was 15 years old, I would not have noticed it myself, and even if I did, I would not have taken the time to pat myself in the back and be proud of myself if it weren't for your video. Thank you!!!!

Man seems emotional in the video... His eyes were shining.

thank you for this most inspiring and informative video. I took the quiz and it is an eye opener for someone like me.

Thank you Ali,👍👍

This video is what I needed to hear! Excellent Ali well done. 👏 thank you

Not sure if it’s shared background, shared productivity neurosis or just you having a good voice but this is the only “productivity” talking head KZread I keep coming back to. You inspired me to start my own channel on “the side” :)

I've been watching your channel since 2017/2018. This might be my favorite video of yours. Point 1, 3 and 4 particularly resonated with me.

Wow, thank you!

Love this video Ali and great pun with headspace I am buying your book for the second time since the first order never arrived

This video is really nice after I went through implementation of the trident method. Headspace is great. I have two kids and we use headspace daily. For bedtime and managing tantrums.

Another great video Ali! My 7 Life Lessons I Wish I Knew Sooner is 1. Be extremely kind and respectful to your parents. No matter how angry/disappointed you are at how the world treats you, never take it out on your parents. Treat them like kings and queens. 2. Follow the Stoic philosophy of only focus/worry on what you can control in life. This is extremely hard to do but it must be done. 3. Read more and watch TV less. Before KZread and internet the access to great books, magazines and other written works or videos were limited. 4. Real Estate is answer. It is very hard to have passive wealth without real estate. 5. Have a light breakfast and skip lunch as intermittent fasting is the answer. The heavy lunches use to destroy my energy by 4PM. 6. Wake up early, go to bed early and absolutely take naps. The feeling of well being and increased energy level after a nap is absolutely amazing. 7. Each night, plan out, using time blocks, your day tomorrow and review the day you had today. The goal is to be as productive as possible each day doing the most important things.

It's funny that you state a reason for all the other things you learned except for the first one. Because the reason is likely you getting manipulated by years of brainwashing lol.

I love the new vibe of the videos , I feel it is more friendly and conected to the daily life than it was before!

As I must take the subway for 2h or more everyday, I have switched my smartphone for a dumbphone, not to be tempted to glare at my screen, one year ago. Best decision I've ever made. Never had that much headspace in my entire life !

well its time i should add headspace to my daily routine.. Thank you for always sharing your amazing ideas and routines its really inspiring.

Thank you very much as well .

Thanks Ali for the lessons

I am so happy with this video, I feel like I was just on the brink of making so many mistakes on the journey that I am currently on. Thank you, also the growth in who you are generally and the genuine nature of your videos is so heart warming. Some of the comments have also just touched my heart.

Love it, thanks!

Thanks again for being a great professor to the world. Advice is so valuable- love All of the points and The quote “Run your own Race.”😊

I have had a small business for 13 years; "Last man standing" is so true. I was too stubborn to quit!! (not saying I won't pivot, but it's so true that sometimes you just need to KEEP GOING and don't quit!).

Thank you! ❤

Thank you so much. VERY helpful.

I badly need this. ❤. Thank you Ali!

Thank you!

Respect. Always such an inspiration. 👍

You always bring informative content. Am always waiting for more productivity tips as a creator and a mom trying to build my business here

ali you are my inspiration ❤

I loved this one Ali, so honest and inspirational :)

"there is no achievement you can achieve , that make you any happier than you are right now" absolutely amazing qoute and its fact , thank you ali abdaal for teaching us lessons and tips to stay productivity as the world knows you're an amazing youtuber and all the universe loves every point you talked abt it . i look forward to get your book in the next days inshalah.

Absolutely. These are incredible lessons.

Very valuable video ❤ soon when my exams will get over I'll buy your book, very excited for that. Just from watching your videos I'm pretty sure it will be amazing. May Allah bless you ❤

Hi Ali, thank you for these 7 valuable lessons. 🌟✨

thank you bro... point 4 was really solid

This was really great and valuable. Thank you Ali!

You've truly changed my life. I can't quite explain it, but your videos have been instrumental in helping me overcome anxiety and my eating disorder. No therapist has ever had the profound impact that your videos have had on me. You've LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE💛

I also struggle with eating disorder and anxiety. It would be really cool if you could share how you overcame your anxiety and ED. :) Not just for me but for others who read your comment.

You really talk sense, Ali. You are such an inspiration. 🎉 Journey is indeed the destination. Love it. 😊

I feel so good after watching this. Thank you!

Hi Ali. I have been following your channel for quite some time. It has made many positive changes in my life. I am also a doctor (from India) and now working towards working in UK. Your content is really motivating for me all the time. It’s astonishing to see a person so young as you having such a control and perspective on his life. I always wish if I could have something like that in my early years so life would have been much easier. All the best to you and Thanks for all the work you are doing to change others’ lives. I am in UK currently for a few months. Is it possible if I could meet you or attend any of your talks.

I dont know why but ali you sound so honest and true ❤ I love you ❤

“There is tremendous value in headspace,” a wonderful thing to say about today’s sponsor 😆 Loved these points Ali! 🙌

Incredible video Ali!

Excellent video, these are great life lessons!

Thank you ma man, good stuff

This is brilliant =) all what u said is 100% true. Now i need to do something abt mornings since i love chatting with my online friends at night lol

Great lessons.............Thanks for such valuable content

I read that they now have more research about work-burnout and the main words for getting it is workload, control, reward, community, fairness and value... To not work in in accordance to your own best version of that rise the risk of getting burnt out, so working to fulfill these main points or "words" can be a smart way to think maybe? Its kinda what you say already, this was just in other words (well that are less clear etc but still, the words might give one more actual concrete way/tool to work towards feeling better and happier.) To have a good amount of work to do, be around ppl who reward stuff you do good and are proud of, community with family and friends and healty uplifting ppl at work, fairness and to keep your values and not change them so you do stuff you think is wrong or un etical.

Hell yes mate! Love it!

I especially gravitate towards the last man standing life lesson. I never really viewed things that way, but it makes sense.

You *are* looking healthier, fitter, and well-rested 🏋Thank you again for the inspiration. Agree - Sahil is wonderful but those baths are crazy.

I thought you seemed a little down. Glad that's over and you're feeling joy!

Congratulations on the book launch and hittting the best seller list!!

Thank you for this! doing the biggest thing first thing in the morning is similar to Bryan Tracy's concept of Eat That Frog (the first productivity book I ever read). :)

That value of headspace is so important because work and rest are partners of the same team that must be balanced in order to thrive over the long-term. Focus exclusively on work and you will burnout. Focus exclusively on rest and you'll get nothing done. The ability to find your rhythm between periods of deep work and intentional rest is what will allow you to have the energy to show up each day, for consistency always beats intensity. That headspace also allows you to reflect (where insight is born), rejuvenate (to disconnect from the noise around you) and reset (so you can come back to your desk with renewed focus).

The "if left unchecked, players will optimise the fun" quote is so familiar! I have seen it somewhere before

The background music is so relaxing❤

The most most genuine and honest human i have ever known.

Hey Ali, long time viewer and big fan! Just wanted to say how much healthier you look now versus your early KZread days :) Cheers to all your success!

This is well timed advice

Loved your points! However, I think that some achievements really bring happiness over the long-term, not those that are connected to a special event like earning a title or comparable things - but e. g. learning a language to the point that you can connect with people and be yourself. Of course, this is overall a journey and it doesn't really end anywhere but the goal could be "being fluent and confident is that language". And it may bring joy to you everyday... same applies to other hobbies/skills like learning an instrument etc. So, what I want to say is that achieving a goal sometimes can really elevate your life and make you happier long-term. :)

@MarianneHMiettinen

2 ай бұрын

Very important point! I think the journey over destination applies when there is a risk of getting fixated on some standard of quality, that you will pay the price with your other sides of life. But if the goal is sensible, like you said, learning a language that you can use your whole life in that country/context to connect is useful. On the other hand, it might not improve your overall happiness, as you might have figured something else in your life if you had not learned the language and been just as happy.

Loved this ❤

Amazing man! 😊❤

I’m actually living my dream life! Thanks man❤

I think you need to add philosopher to your bio Ali! What a superbly analytical and thoughtful piece 👏🏾👏🏾

it is a beautiful video! thank you!

01:08 Yessir, summed it up nicely

About the lesson 6, last weekend I went to see a carshow, it was one of dream a decade back, but I didn't enjoy that fully, and after coming back and seeing all cool photos of cool cars, I was like what the hell happened? Now I realise I was not there as that child, the excitement of child was missing. So, it it good realization that some time don't take yourself too seriously, and enjoy those little things

Hello Ali I am a fan of you in Spain, Love the way you say things, I was wonder if you have translated this book in Spanish, thank you ❤❤❤ good luck with your book

❤❤❤ thanks a lot

Now thanks to you I will retake my dream of making videos and some other stuff, and probably will meet you and more of my favourite content creators >:c love your videos

I wish I knew how productive study with me videos were. Ali, can you make a new one in 2024 from a cool location on your trip? 🙂

Had to pause on that optimizing fun out of the game, piece 🤔🤯. I love this fireside chat vibe again. Next video request- how to best keep lessons learned (like these) in the forefront while in the thick of it, all the legitimate life stuff.

These videos from you that are scripted are INCREDIBLE! Thank YOU 🙏
