The only thing i get distracted is by your videos. That's how good they are.

[treywillis]

I have do not disturb mode turned on literally 100% of the time. Been the biggest game changer for my focus, productivity, creativity.

"if you are watching my channel and you have gotten to this point in the video you are probably kind of weird and you are probably a bit of a nerd in a great way and you might not have that many friends who are also into the same stuff..." Who else found this as a compliment ✋. Can't wait for productivity lab. Ali, we really appreciate all your work, keep it up man.

[elevate]

I have been watching your videos since grade 5th and I love them. They have made a drastic change in my life. Thank You 😊

Introduced to your channel recently and want to say how grateful I am to find a genuinely kind, down-to-earth entrepreneur who offers such reasonable and straightforward advice for those wanting to either do better at their 9-5 or for those like me, who want to "graduate" out of it ❤ thank you

[Kevinski_TV]

I love how inspirational, motivational, and informative your videos are. Although what I want to do is a lot of work, the tools I’ve been given by this YouTube channel make the work seem like quite a bit less than I thought it was initially.

Hi Ali. Thank you for sharing about 11 tools to double our focus. So glad because this video will help me so much. Keep up!

[OMNITRIXCreativeAgency]

Just caught that moment at 25:00 in your latest video and, wow, it's exactly why I follow your work and consider you a huge inspiration. The way you engaged and connected at that point was spot-on! It's moments like these that keep me excited for every new video. Your approach to communication not only keeps us hooked but also creates a unique bond with your audience. Can't wait to see what you'll share next, also looking forward to having some kind of conversation with you in the future, whenever you're in the spirit of freebie and good will, just kidding ....

Love seeing Ali talk about focus modes. Ali - what are your focus modes? Do you use different screens? Is it only notifications you filter out? More details would be helpful.

[olunoikiayomisesebere]

Thank you, Ali.
The space, lighting and music used I believe work quite well other with this video

[HardRoutine_TOTW]

As a relative newcomer to your content and listening to your audiobook feel good productivity this is great stuff! Thanks!

[AhmedRashidd]

As soon as I started tracking the way I spend my time I instantly become more productive in all areas of my life. Insightful video Ali!

[SebastianCristanchoYT]

Woah language transcriptions. Amazing man! Also your editors are so good.

Last point I’m starting my real estate licence course here in Canada and so excited about this video and to implement as much of it as possible! Appreciate the work you do! Thank you!

[Ballo.trades]

Thanks for this masterpiece mate. I too tend to get distracted when I have to commit myself to work. This video did the trick. ❤‍🔥

[MojeZycieWSkrocie]

I love the rant about the distracting notifications. I personally do struggle with procrastination but the constant notifications and sounds thing annoys me to the core as it is. That's why my phone is on vibrate at all time and I have notifications completely turned off for 90% of the apps even when I'm not in a Focus or Do Not Disturb mode.

[alchriyad]

I used to occasionaly watch videos from this channel a few years ago and always thought that most of his tools/apps recommended are just fancy and mostly used for aesthetic purposes when a simpler alternative would suffice.

However, watching this video, it's nice to see that he recommends simpler tools now which are easier to get around and are equally, if not more effective. Thanks. Liked.

[adamrixtor]

Me : Writing Email for Work
Also me: Ooo Ali’s New Video Noti! Imma watch it first

[astheticliv]

Thank you so much
I find these apps really helpful ❤❤
