    You get to decide where your time goes. You can either spend it moving forward, or you can spend it putting out fires. You decide. And if you donā€™t decide, others will decide for you.
  • 1. Plan out your ideal week, use SMART goals 2. Most time management problems are actually energy management issues. Guard your energy! Feel good! Calendar blocking lets you feel up your day around those concrete blocks W/ energising stuff, coffee W/ friends...ask yourself... How can I build energy? 3. The adventure habit. Ask yourself... What is the most important task or adventure I have to do today? + 3 side quests... 4.minimise task switching to be more intentional, but welcome welcoming distractions... Part of the adventure habit will let you know which distractions to welcome and push away. 5. Rapid action habit... When we hear new information without action, we don't retain that information. So bias towards action 6. Experimental action: treat your different passions with this notion that it is an experiment...discipline carries that vibe that you have to do it... Rather than seeing it as an opportunity to experiment!
  • 00:02 Time management is crucial for maximizing productivity. 02:43 Effective time management bridges the gap between intentions and reality. 05:16 Focus on one important task every day 07:55 Focus without interruptions is a superpower that saves time 10:33 Change your environment to increase focus and productivity 13:08 Running experiments on yourself to find productive strategies that feel good 15:45 The alignment habit is a way to be intentional with time. 18:13 Delegate tasks to save time and focus on important things Crafted by Merlin AI.

    I don't know who needs to hear this, but don't chase comfort at the age of labor, so you won't labor at the age of comfort.
  • @SajjaadKhader
    iā€™m so excited for your book to come out! Youā€™ve been providing such great productivity tips for so long now!
  • @JustThatGuyArt
    Ali! The way your videos are presented are so elegantly and cleanly, and the knowledge is amazing! Thank you!
  • @abdullahalam2088
    The bit about welcome distractions was especially delightful :) There are times where I would deliberately sit in my living room to get work done just so I could be distracted occasionally by my housemates. Feels nice :)
  • @MickDude_
    Man I recently found your channel and I genuinely believe some of the things that Iā€™ve been taking note of from your videos will change my life. Thank you Ali. šŸ™šŸ»
  • @CoachCharan
    I CANT STRESS how much i love this guy, his videos and how , much they have helped and influenced me.
  • @GregMunro
    Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are alot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.
  • @marilena1129
    Canā€™t even tell how precious this video is!! Thank you SO much!!
  • @Simplyryanne
    Love this video especially ā€œwhat is todayā€™s adventure going to beā€. Thank you for the excellent content!
  • @winnieobunabor
    your energy and positivity towards productivity makes me so excited about life again. Thank you Ali :)
  • @h.a.2107
    So much value in your videos always!. Preordered your book and can't wait to read it. Thank you!
  • @iareqwen3513
    Hi Ali, perfect timing! I just pre-ordered your book through Amazon and I am so excited to be receiving it as my Christmas Present. I have been watching your passive income video repeatedly, you inspired me to do something to change my life through mindset and productivity. Great content as always, thank you!
  • The concept of 'feels good stuff' always helps in maintaining consistency is so true. We dont need to push ourselves. We rather tend to do such things cheerfully.
  • @HeroVibes
    I love the adventure & side-quest analogy, will definitely be adopting that. Thank you for the advice, can't wait for the book! šŸ™
