How to Stop Wasting Your Life (Avoid These 5 Things)

Hey friends, this is the second 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

WHO AM I?
If we haven’t yet before - Hey 👋 I’m Ali, a doctor-turned-entrepreneur and I’ve somehow become the world’s most followed productivity expert.

We can always make more money but we can never make more time." So true!💯

[karlau]

I really like this format where you break the deep dive down into shorter related videos! Because I often watch you or listen to you in those between times or when I’m doing things that are not otherwise productive, and those things often come in 10 or 15 minutes intervals. Thanks for your continued great content. Enjoyed your book!

[Osiskskdn]

Honestly Ali is such a big motivation for me and has always created great videos for me to try some new "experiments" and break my bad habits. I really appreciate you Ali!

تفاجأت لما فتحت الفيديو انه باللغة العربية شيء جميييييل و أول مرة اصادف قناتك ماشاء الله

[AlexanderFYoung]

Great video. I think the most important point is avoiding overwhelm and task-induced anxiety due to overloading our brains with things that aren’t actually helping us grow.

There needs to be a conscious focus on where we want to be going and on what we actually enjoy.

[prathapasinghe]

Thank you soo much Ali. This taught me so much on time management. I've got so much more time in my life since I watched your channel.

[kanyshbektashova]

Али, I find your videos quite helpful 🩵 Thank you. I am 41 going through emotional physical exhaustion. When I hear you saying using time wisely it makes me sad. I feel I am wasting it big time because I simply can’t do stuff more like I used to. Yet keep watching your videos

[Rawi]

Damn, I really hate being lazy. What a terrible way to live, I have truly squandered my life thus far. That said, I WILL overcome and succeed, and you will too my friends.

[JohnCarlosMartinez]

One of your best videos. Raw, and not generic. Practical and helpful.

[Jingweltblade]

GREAT they are all things one might be aware off but not to this extent. its always great to be reminded of these things.

[oscarhinostroza]

Every time I see one of your videos I get extremely motivated to work my life and get actual work done, this motivation continues for the next 4-5 days and then it washes off, but the good thing there is always another video to watch. Please don’t stop uploading videos my productivity depends on you 😬

[maelynayala]

I can totally relate! It's been 7 years that I didn't have TV and haven't watched the news and I don't feel like I missed anything! I also hire someone to do the laundry and clean the house 2x a week I work from home and I have 2 little kids. Thank you fir this video! You have inspired me to create my own YouTube channel! And that is my biggest procrastination at the moment!

انت شخص ناجح جدا واول مرة اسمعك سنة ٢٠٢٣ مبروك لترجمة اللغة العربية كنت اريد كتابة تعليق بالعربية

[MultiverseWizard]

Thanks Ali, you're a huge inspiration and help on my road to a more productive life. Keep up the good work!

[ElijahStewy]

Just got done reading your book! Huge impact on how i look at productivity and how i manage my time! Thanks Ali

[WillBrownCars]

These videos are helping me so much when trying to balance my channel with a full time job!

[ydxfvtx]

i totally agree with all what u said except for the chores one, because cleaning is my therapy

[anshikaanand]

What an impactful video it's !! You always come up with such inspiring and self help videos. ❤

[mgalanteonline]

Brilliant as always, thanks for taking the time to make this video. It was very helpful.

As a student I'd highly recommend meal prepping as a way to save yourself tonnes of time during the week. By meal prepping I don't mean making boxes of boring chicken and rice. I cook a massive chicken curry during the weekend which takes about 2 hours and divide it into containers. I freeze about half and refrigerate the other half. It will last me about a fortnight and tastes great, mix with some tildas or uncle bens rice to make it last even longer.
