I don’t know what I could’ve accomplished if procrastination wasn’t part of my life

Love how the format of the book was literally thought for procrastinators, short and straight to the point m. Amazing recap man, as always!

[lavishresale]

Perfectly timed. It is almost as if these videos are directed at the problem I’m dealing with at the time they come out. Great video Ali 🎉

[tehilash]

I wasn't going to watch this video thinking: here is another procrastination video. I am not procrastinating I either don't have time or lack of motivation. But after listening I find good value. Thanks for this video.

Great book! I'll get around to finishing it eventually.

I love how you get straight to the point in your videos instead of going off topic on irrelevant things in an intro

[sabriya]

As someone who studies the impact of teacher identity on teacher quality, I vouch for the importance of identity in people's action.

I really appreciate this video and the ideas you’ve presented. I’ve never really thought to consciously think about the reasons why I procrastinate. Now that I’ve sat back and thought about things I’ve avoided doing in the past, the reasons behind my hesitation to act are extremely mundane, and really shouldn’t have / shouldn’t be impeding me.

This is the first time watching a video on the topic where I’ve actually stopped at different points, reflected and been able to recognize the issues that I subconsciously create for myself. I am grateful to you for having presented solutions and practical examples in such a digestible manner. I will start following these steps effective immediately!

Keep up the good work!

Another brilliant video from Ali packed with such useful information. Definitly pre-ordering the book!

[grazielaramos]

I absolutely love your channel, thank you so much for creating this type of content. Is very very helpful!

[juanitasantamaria]

I am SO EXCITED TO READ THIS BOOK. Pre-ordered it the same day you announced it, this chapters will definitely be my favorite

[talentsherpa]

This is only the second time I’ve listened to you yet I’ve learned so much. Thanks!

[funnytv-]

Clear your mind and cite one good thing in your life. Something you are grateful for. Something you are proud of. Something that makes you smile. Breathe in as you think of it.

[angelasagenda]

Ali is so thirsty for ongoing knowledge and self improvement. And he shares this knowledge with others who are excited about learning.

[dr.elsat.khwaja]

I just love you so much. You have helped me in so many ways. I really appreciate you and your contributions. Thank you so so much.

[weisscoaching]

Excellent overview with useful tips. I found the the Stress free productivity to be very helpful in realizing the fear and body language I use when procrastinating. I recommend that book for those who prefer the big picture thinking.

I was going to watch this video now, but I'll leave it for later...
