‘Our brain is for having ideas, not holding them.’ I love that!

I think the last tip is the most important, I'm a recovering perfectionist and I have wasted SO much time beating myself up for rest/reboot days or even not getting "enough" done. I'm working on breaking that negative habit! Good enough is good enough! And sometimes good enough is GREAT!

Your videos are DANGEROUS!! Just sitting here watching you talk makes me feel like I've been productive, even though I've gotten nothing done😂✌🏻

Great tips as always, Ali!

Ali’s videos are what’s saving me from becoming a failure

[ChazRegal]

I have literally watched dozens and dozens of time management and productivity views but this one really hit it home for me. Your strategies are exactly what I needed to hear and will be immediately applying them into my daily routines. Thank you. Just subscribed 👌🏽🙏🏼

[BackpackingBananas]

Really like that plan of only time blocking your daily highlight and letting everything else fit in naturally - imma try that! 🤓

[leonylias]

Ali is changing the entire vibe of productivity. This is such a nice contrast to ‘hustle culture’, both sides are super valuable to gain insights from as someone looking to learn.

Thank you, Ali. What an inspiring and informative video. As I'm a full-time nightshift worker, I do indeed find that I struggle with my time management and productivity. As I'm a mature individual, I often find myself procrastinating on my days off as I feel tired and unable to concentrate on undertaking and focusing on the Open University courses I've enrolled in. Also, as I do adore running, I'm in training for an ultramarathon next June. Anyway, I will definitely commit to completing one task per day. Thanks again, Ali.

[LearnAllover]

I totally agree!! Having scheduled work time to get your brain used to productive phases is a great way to fight distraction. What‘s also important is to schedule your study breaks to support memorization! I subscribed 👍

Damn you didnt have to attack me like that 😭😭

Knowing that he is a doctor, films a vlog, owns a website, and edits a vlog at the same time really signifies that he is good at time management.

EDIT: And ALSSSO, a gamer, a book writer, and has skill share courses. WOWWW

YouTube has done me a massive disservice by not recommending your videos to me earlier. So up my street!

[KanaYukino]

Oh my god, I am so happy I found someone who also delegates morning to themselves! I am a working from home and I can basically work at any time I choose, but I really really like having several hours just for myself in the morning, play a game, meditate, exercise etc. I thought it might be weird because everyone usually goes to work early in the morning and has time for themselves in the evening, but I had it backwards. I'd rather have morning off and then work until late and read a book before bed and sleep. Thank you, I don't feel like I am a weird one and that its actually normal to do and depends on preferences!

Hello sir,
I Am a secondary four student in Hong Kong, I just wanted to say, discovering this channel is literally the turning point of My life so far, all of your study or life management videos are amazing and very descriptive! I felt so motivated after watching many of your videos! BTW it is kinda odd to type this kind of stuff in a video but to show my support to your channel is what I truly appreciated!
I literally watch your videos and your podcasts everyday after discovering your channel !
Thank you very

Absolutely love the way you described how we own our time and if something we aren't able to do is mostly because we aren't priotising it enough.

But Calendly is exactly the opposite of controlling your own time, its like giving away the control of your free time to others. Not sure I like the idea of letting people decide how they dictate my free time.

Success is not built on success. It's built on failure, It's built on fraustration. it's built on fear that you have to overcome. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
