Hey friends, this is the first of 3 videos in a series about how to manage your time better when you have a full time job. I feel really passionate about this stuff because being able to manage my time well when I was a full time doctor here in the UK, allowed me to start and grow my YouTube channel and business on the side. So I really hope there's some useful takeaways for you in here. Enjoy x

    What's your biggest takeaway from this video? And what's your biggest struggle when it comes to managing your time with a full time job?
  • I love your point “Being intentional is productivity. “ 👍🏻👍🏻and “even 15 minutes can be productive. “ ❤
  • @adarateranroldan
    Definitely agree that being curious about something that didn’t go right is better than being critical.
  • @samanthasossa
    For some reason whenever I feel down and want to get back on my feet YouTube recommends me your videos, for me you’re just like a really good friend that always has the right things to say. Thank you 🙏🏻
  • @hocusthepocus
    I feel such a satisfaction from watching this, because that is EXACTLY how I've been feeling. This feeling like life is work and then prepping for going to work again and so what is the point at all? Now someone actually formulated these abstract thoughts and feelings for me! This is a great concept that activities mainly consist of maintaining ur life and improving or progressing ur life. I feel like I've dodged so many actually pleasant and rewarding tasks just to preserve time, energy and focus for life maintanance, so that I could survive work.
  • @alisha.k.a
    There was a time when I was at my lowest and your videos helped me. This is another such time. You reiterated everything I needed to hear. Thank you!
  • I love vision boards. Its a quick, constant visual reminder of major goals to keep you on track. There is also the proposed manifestion aspect of it and helping to rewrite your subconscious.
  • @Bizcore25
    I literally did not have any idea about productivity or time management thing but you were the first person I watched about note taking and from there started watching about your works and genuinely trying to implement things like taking notes etc and thank you for your time.

  • @isalutfi
    Hi Ali! So happy as always for watching your content. Thank you for talking about time management as full timer.
  • Wow! After the annual planning workshop that was amazing and your book that I read in one week, this video is exactly what I needed to keep going. Thank you so much Ali and team!
  • @ranjithaganesh6
    Ali, You are such a source of inspiration and the same time a huge sigh of relief after a long day. Thank you for all that you do. I even have started my own YouTube channel now thanks to one of the many lessons I've learnt from you.
  • I recognize the hardships that come with economic struggles like unemployment, job loss, inflation, housing market instability, political uncertainties, and the global impact of conflicts and wars. Making ends meet during such times can be incredibly challenging. To navigate this difficult period, considering alternative job prospects, enhancing skills through online courses, and expanding your network can heighten the chances of securing employment. Moreover, prudent budgeting, exploring available financial aid programs, and seeking assistance from community organizations can offer some relief. How are you currently tackling these challenges? Have you implemented any specific strategies to cope?
  • @dylanlyons6
    Productivity = intentionality…that’s all I needed to hear! Now I get it 🤯
  • @sumankashyap5090
    This year I have also set some personal goals and these things really help me to wake up early and get excited for the day, feel positive all over the day .....✨ Thanks now I feel like I'm on the right track 😌
  • @editophobia_
    I can't thank you enough for what you just provided❤... I've been a person who embraces productivity, tries to do 50hrs of work in 24hrs and yet never get anything done....My finals are about to start in 4 days and all I need is the final revision to score good but I just wasn't able to get started i would make to-do list, Divide my days into time block but I just can't do anything when I tried to...I watched this video this morning and really loved the idea of intentionality and I tried to apply it like work when I have the intention to do it "not the feeling" and it worked man!! This is the first day I've got anything done and I'm not cursing myself for not getting anything done... I've been following you since a long time and this is what I needed to apply all the other knowledge you provided efficiently..... Thanks man ❤, I've finnally figured out productivity... I'm gonna read your book as soon as my finals are over.... You just saved my grades... I can't stop thanking you....
  • @jhoaaa
    I followed your 30 Days Productivity Challenge from your Newsletter at the start of the year and let me tell you, setting goals is truly the best way I've found to stay motivated and get things done. At some point we gotta stop living in autopilot and move toward something meaningful to you.
  • @smugada
    This video relaxes me and conveys the message with great efficiency. It’s therapeutic for me. Thank you, Ali.
