Always put your finances in good care to ensure that your income rises. Wealthy people achieve there financial goals and acquire riches by seeking help from finance pro(s) but many claim to have achieved success themselves.

“The greater the passive income you can build, the FREER you will become.” I feel fortunate to have made productive decisions that have had a lasting impact on my life. Through my finance coach, I've accumulated over a million and recently purchased my first house in January. I've also managed to pay off my mortgage and student loans, and now I'm focused on working towards my retirement by next year.

I wasn't going to watch this video thinking: here is another procrastination video. I am not procrastinating I either don't have time or lack of motivation. But after listening I find good value. Thanks for this video.
Clear your mind and cite one good thing in your life. Something you are grateful for. Something you are proud of. Something that makes you smile. Breathe in as you think of it.

Great book! I'll get around to finishing it eventually.
This is true... How you do one thing is how you do everything.... If you allow procrastination in one point of your life... It will flow to every other part of your life....
Another brilliant video from Ali packed with such useful information. Definitly pre-ordering the book!
I really appreciate this video and the ideas you’ve presented. I’ve never really thought to consciously think about the reasons why I procrastinate. Now that I’ve sat back and thought about things I’ve avoided doing in the past, the reasons behind my hesitation to act are extremely mundane, and really shouldn’t have / shouldn’t be impeding me. This is the first time watching a video on the topic where I’ve actually stopped at different points, reflected and been able to recognize the issues that I subconsciously create for myself. I am grateful to you for having presented solutions and practical examples in such a digestible manner. I will start following these steps effective immediately! Keep up the good work!
Try setting the playback speed to .75x At “normal” speed he seems to race through each concept… the book seems worthwhile though. Cheers.
〽️**More work is less work than more work.** When I avoid work, it actually creates more work. But being proactive, which may seem like more work, can actually be less work when it saves you from more work. It’s work either way. Make misery optional.
I am SO EXCITED TO READ THIS BOOK. Pre-ordered it the same day you announced it, this chapters will definitely be my favorite
I absolutely love your channel, thank you so much for creating this type of content. Is very very helpful!
Manifest with pictures to beat procrastinating the work to get there. Habit stacking... Time based implementation intention: every morning, I will do coffee, guitar, then video. Basically time blocking. But focusing on the if I do this, I will do this...
This is only the second time I’ve listened to you yet I’ve learned so much. Thanks!
Have always wondered, how many creative and great minds the world never witnessed because of procrastination.

And how many we gained because people procrastinated and learned new skills rather than sat doing shit they hate chasing the Hustlers lifestyle. Unfocused procrastination with no end goal, fine cut that shit out. Procrastination that brings you more happiness than the shit you were doing is better than being unhappy. Do shit you enjoy, you'll thank yourself for the good memories than you will for an immaculately kept Notion page diarising your entire life.
I love how you get straight to the point in your videos instead of going off topic on irrelevant things in an intro
Excellent overview with useful tips. I found the the Stress free productivity to be very helpful in realizing the fear and body language I use when procrastinating. I recommend that book for those who prefer the big picture thinking.
Thanks for this video! I'll save it to my watch later 😂

It's awesome indeed! He actually hired an editor from Aevy TV (KZread Channel/Editing Cohorts).
I know it's a big deal.. but also start doing the things give me anxiety😢😢 so I know my fears... still dont make me move faster.. i know there's not easy solution, but from all of the things he said what I found useful is the implemenation intention..
Having good feelings is equal to get things done with patient before deadlines!
This guys is making millions by making innumerable productivity videos. And it's working here I am highly productive in watching KZread videos.
Thank you, you saved my life!!
Interesting! Bookmarked it and will watch later.
Felt real convicted as I listened to this while procrastinating starting my workout 😆
Life changing video!
Thanks for sharing such beautiful advices love you from nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵
i dont have the patience to read however I love audio books once your book becomes available in audible ill listen to it thanks for letting us know.
thank you ali and team!
Thank you 😊
Sound nice , will watch it tomorrow
I was just about to work out but saw this video in my feed.
Really enjoyed the video and probably gonna get the book any time :) I am particularly struggling to have "motivation" to do my job's work. When it's for my business I do without problem, but for the company... man, it's hard! haha
I am watching this video while i am procrastinating.. Great!
LOVEEEEE THE EDIT 🎉❤
Looks like a great video. I just added it to my Watch Later folder. Will hopefully watch soon.
Ordered! I will hold on to my receipt with dear life!
My Daddy taught me about procrastination from this video 😊
Hey ali, you're video editing is amazing ❤. Who edits your videos?
Thank you. 😮🙂
Active engaging is the best way to beat procrastination, you have to write down whatever you are learning, you will beat it ( 100 percent sure , I challenge you'll beat procrastination "

Good video. Appreciate it
I made myself watch this video to the very end, or at least until the skillshare commercial which was just about the end. And the reason why I say "I made myself" is because I almost clicked off 3 minutes in when it was said that people who procrastinate also can have poor health. For me that cannot be the farthest thing from the truth. I have issues with procrastination and I can see it how it impacts other areas of my life. But it doesn't impact areas of my life that I value. For example, I value my health so I go to my doctor on a regular basis I go to my dentist on a quarterly basis I manage my salt intake I drink my water. My doctor is amazed that I only have to see him once a year because for the most part I'm fine. Also, well I may struggle with procrastination, I do not struggle with keeping appointments in general by that I mean a lunch date with a friend or meeting with a colleague. If the time is for 10:00 a.m. I'm there on or before 10:00 a.m. because their time is valuable so I need to honor that. If I'm holding a meeting I come prepared with what the topic is to be and make sure that the topic is processed efficiently so that their time is not wasted. Finally, I don't live in regret because if I want something badly enough it will happen. If I realized I missed out on an opportunity I shrug it off and look for an opportunity similar to that to happen again. Therefore, I don't know if procrastination really permeates every area of one's life because if a value challenges that desire to procrastinate then procrastination will not be an option. PERIOD
This help me a lot ali.. Thanks 🇧🇩

Hope the exam went as well as it could. I suggest trying to identify what emotional discomfort you’re trying to avoid when you’re procrastinating and being more aware and/or forgiving to yourself. For me, it was this ridiculous image of perfection I constructed, that became such an “all or nothing” thing that if I knew I couldn’t be great at something immediately, I wouldn’t try at all and tell myself “I could if I REALLY wanted to “
Very good topic that actually many people suffer from it .....
Hats off to the editor 👏
Cool, I'll just put this video in watch later to see it tomorrow.
I could really use this information. I'll watch it later.
I need an excuse to procrastinate, so I’m gonna do that by reading procrastination books.
Editing style is so good. Can you please share what tool you have used in this video🙃
Great! Adding this to my “watch later” playlist 👍🏻
Saved it to watch later. The hell i am gonna beat procrastination 😂😂
About the identity piece: To what extent should we embrace the identity so we don't just focus on the "being" but the "doing"? Would this contradict with what Ryan Holiday wrote in Enemy is the Ego ? which you also mentioned in "The Greatest Enemy of Success - Ego is the Enemy" video. Thanks for always bringing new ideas to this space : )
