One of the big ones was that the action of doing the bare minimum at a job you dislike is actually draining more energy and causing more burnout with misalignment and exhaustion. I'm going to be a bit more mindful of how to approach the work day with a positive view and maybe start with that "daily adventure" mindset that was referenced in the video.

Damn... Ali is all over my recommendations right now. But I don't mind it at all, since he's the reason I overcame my fear of starting my own KZread channel.

He talks in the book about “Over Communicating” - he’s doing it to the T lol

Maybe I'm depressed, dull or just generally apathetic, but if I only did anything in life when I think to myself "Hell yes!" then I'd almost litterally never do anything.

I'm really thankful for my KZread algorithm for recommending Ali to me a few months ago.

I used to have a music career and it was fun and engaging. The moment I made it a business, it wasn’t enjoyable, meaningful, and sustainable. Now whatever my entrepreneurial endeavor is, I try to never forget what made it feel good.

Never heard of this bloke yet I think he’s the person I need to hear from the most. Looking forward to watching this. Really starting to enjoy this channel.

Awesome episode! Thanks Ali for bringing the antidote to the hustle culture. I'm looking forward to apply the principles of feel good productivity to my daily life!

Everything boils down that you have to change your perspective and mindset!! Great vid!

This was an awesome episode. I have started listening to Ali’s book and it’s been nice to hear him here share some of the same studies and tips he wrote about in Feel-Good Productivity. I love that we’re slowly celebrating a balanced life over hustling for a lifetime. It’s better for our physical and mental health, and our communities.

Many many times procrastination has worked in my favour.Time and time again Ive dragged my feet to do something only to find the outplay made it the right decision in hindsight.

💕 Spending time with you people is like having the feeling of fair weather friends in extremely unpleasant situation. Love you content creators 💕

Very enjoyable episode! What a positive guy. Loved his methods for overcoming procrastination. I have some bouts now and then. But my 12 year old son struggles with it. So now I can help him because of Ali 🙏🏼

a brilliant interview - Ali speaks very well, makes a lot of sense, and makes some genuinely thought provoking points

"What is today's adventure going to be?" - Ali

Thank God you put "breaks" in the book, finally I don't feel bad doing a break.

He's really helped me out in creating my KZread Channel too... kudos to him 👏

Love u high performance team i enjoyed the video

Biggest takeaway was before starting a task, clarifying what I want to accomplish!

Great episode, Ali is so inspiring

I feel like we are reinventing the wheel that lots of spiritual practices knew for millenia. But this is valuable! Thank you

I don't know, presenting us for years now ways to never procrastinate again, always something new or better. We all would have more time then we are ages old, if we would have done everything he said. The thing is, people are preparing for no longer procrastinating, they order their tasks, they are preparing notebooks or tools to help them - but they never go steps ahead of that. There is a new video then, which tells you now you can to XY to never procrastinate again...so it's just an endless waste of time. And Ali is living from that. Well, nice that it works, but if you really want to stop procrastinating: Just get your a*s up, it is simple as that. Just begin with anything. Don't waste time with thinking about the order of your tasks, just beginn with something. What helps: Clean your room/apartment/house. It will be much easier to get a clear head, believe me. And then just start with your tasks, one after another. Grab a sheet of paper and simply write down what to do if you want, getting lists done is very satisfying for your brain, but don't overplan everything. It's a complete waste of time.

Pursue Enjoyable Work: Ali Abdaal emphasizes the importance of engaging in work that brings joy and fulfillment rather than doing tasks solely for monetary gain. Enjoyable work enhances productivity and overall life satisfaction. Adopt a Playful Attitude: Approaching tasks with a sense of playfulness and reducing the perceived importance can decrease stress and increase energy and productivity. Engaging enthusiastically generates more energy. Set Clear Priorities: When faced with choices, if an option isn't a clear and enthusiastic "yes," it should be a "no." This approach helps in focusing on tasks that truly matter and avoids overcommitment. Surround Yourself with Positive Influences: Interacting with people who energize and uplift you is crucial. Avoid relationships or interactions that drain energy, and strive to be an energizing person yourself. Take Action Despite Fear: Confronting fear involves recognizing it, understanding that others are often indifferent to our fears, and taking courageous steps forward. Acting despite fear is a key to overcoming procrastination and achieving goals.

I feel like hes a better businessman than a productivity coach. Because if you watch his day in the life videos, i didnt find them particularly productive

Meh. The algorithm made him. Now he can preach for his financial pedestal about fun productivity. That’s the way of the world. KZreadrs are literally Google algorithm plants 🪴 & tend to sound really, really smug and are ultimately super naturally boring.

Well you've got a good pressure you've got the pressure and you're freaking cash but

I don't actually understand what he does. A productivity expert that doesn't produce anything except a book about how to produce things, podcasts about how to produce things. But what's he produced? It's like some weird doom loop

This is exactly the problem I have with life coaches and people that earn a living by telling people how to be happy and find your dream career. The sad truth is the vast majority of people have to work menial jobs and generally unlikeable jobs in order for society to function. We can't all be life coaches. And to be honest, I don't think that the average taxi driver, binman, or office administration assistant, will glean much value from asking themselves "what will today's adventure be?" on a Monday morning.

@@TheBustedFlush1998 I get what you mean, how can people switch lives when we have daily needs to meet? I can definitely relate, yet with a positive attitude, we may embrace our limitations as part of a mindfulness and gratitude practise. discover what choices you have and expand from that
