I can't overstate how much I appreciate the way you just get straight to the point. No pre-content advert, no call for likes/subscribes, not even waffle about the video I'm about to watch. It's pure distilled value, and I love it
Yes!
Same thing I noticed and it is remarkably appreciateable
Agreed
@ George Cochrane
I agree 100% !
I was about to say that
The way you just went right into the video? SUPER PRODUCTIVE!
FR tho.
my first instinct is too double tap to skip but bro didn't waste time started immediately
Hey, we both share an interest in self-therapy. So I've curated some self-help therapy guidelines based on a credible and effective approach (link in the bio). I promise it'll make a significant difference in your life. Would really appreciate your thoughts on it!
I really like this channel because it's not "toxic productivity". You can apply many of his advices to your everyday life, also if you have ADHD like me. Thanks Ali! Keep going ✨️

"your environment has to be perfect" spot on.
I've been working from home the past two years and I just realized I literally work from my bed and sometimes the sofa and i still get shit done.
I totally agree with the first myth! Beating yourself up ends up just slowing you down. Learn to be happy with the work you do. That kindness and motivation towards yourself will help you increase your productivity in the long run.
The first one is actually the most misleading if you work for someone else,
Exactly!

Love the No-BS vibe! Appreciate the straightforwardness.
The second point completely resonates with me, few set backs on the way to improvement shouldn't prevent consistency
Exploraration vs exploitation thing is really nice! 👍 It should be applied to any content that we consume at work/home/book/CZcams/etc

One of the best videos on the channel so far, Ali! Keep up the great content. I love it when you combine common sense with theories from books then add in your own personal experiences to supplement the insights!

👍👍👍
It seems that they've added that to their description, and subsequently as chapters for the video.
💕✨
10:25 "... the real problem with trying to get things done is when you fricking hate doing the thing." Lol. Yes.
this is the rightful push I need at this point. I am working on my final year project in Uni. Sometimes I find myself inconsistent in writing my research papers . Cheers Ali!
Your video is incredible, you are giving advice to make our life better and making sure that we enjoy and not put too much pressure on it. The calm music behind also bring peace
These productivity myths certainly ruin our way of doing important things in our lives. We express our own gratitude towards Ali for enlightening us with proper guidance towards achieving our goals and dreams.
Yeah 100% true

Hot take: having your water bottle on your desk is self care.
This is excellent. This morning, whenever I hear myself stating that I don’t have time, I began asking myself, “Why not?”
And, I hate it when people say not to read books. What sense does this make?
OMG. Y’re RIGHT. If I increase my typing speed (more than study formatting, most of which I already know), I can (finally) pass my course, next week. Thank you. This is SO timely.
Great tips! I loved your point about being comfortable with what you've done and not being hard on yourself.
I absolutely love how much these videos are straight to the point and full of good content. Love it, Ali!

Hey Ali, kudos to the screen writing for starting right away with the points!! I clicked on the video only wanting to browse the chapters and read through the myths but voila I was instantly pulled into the video as the content started from the second go and watched through the whole thing!

Awesome video! I love how you get to the point quickly and still manage to keep up your energy level throughout the entire video.

Your videos inspire me to give myself a chance with online content creation. I’ve tried many times but I think my issue has been external motivation vs intrinsic. Thank you for sharing ❤
first off, congratulations!!& secondly, thank YOU. i really believe this is the next big thing in the productivity space. i’m so excited. already preordered!!!!
I love this video Ali! You’re my fav productivity expert. One of my goals is enjoying the journey more! That’s why I started my new YT channel so I can document my progress. I’ve learned so much about productivity from you thank you! 😊
The "I don't have time" has always been the most important thing for me, I never say that I don't have time to do something, I always say that I chose to not do things, because I'd rather much doing something else I enjoy more!

Agree with you on so many points and feeling bad that I still haven't managed to make time to improve my typing skills. Thanks for the reminder to focus on that again.
Ali Abdal: One of the most consistent CZcams videos I watch...keeping it real❤️
Hey Ali....what I like about you is that...as soon as I click on your video it gets directly to the point.....no non sense stuff in the starting like other creators.......like the way you make content....keep going
Let's just appreciate the work Ali and his team put into the videos 😍😍😍☺❤❤❤.
Love the absence of introduction! All killer no filler
i always divert into other non essential tasks but i watch your productive videos..i find my mistakes.. thanks for this wonderful myth breaking video..
Been waiting for this... You're doing an amazing job... Keep it up
There is this inspiring quote i heard in my school days, “Our commitments are more than the time available to us, so use the time as much as possible and summarize their implementation.” Trying my best to follow it.
Can you explain or reword "summarize their implementation?"

Excellent video Ali. Thanks for sharing these!!
As someone who works with ADHD individuals myth 2 and 3 is critical! If you tend to hyperfocus and struggle to be motivated learn how to use your brains natural way of working to your advantage. Great video and insights!
That was EXCELLENT, i can't express how relieved i am for seeing someone spread these facts, internet is now full of this anti husle micro steps goals are bad thing.
Timely and informative video. As always thanks Ali for being on top
Thank you for existing 😩❤️
I think this video is great, for neurotyplical people. Because for neurodivergent people, sometimes we really can't do some work before organizing our space - or whatever it is.
This is like tough love productivity advice. And sooo insightful - thank you!!
You have no idea how you're changing my life, some of your saying ring in my ears in every step of my action
Continue inspiring 🙌

Great insight & *invaluable* information for those willing to put it into practice.
I was making my self down that I wasn't productive and this came up. Thank u
Thank you so much for this educational video, keep doing the great work!!
Thank you man. Another great video
great video with great messages. I like your style!
Yeah often things are made less or overcomplicated. Theres logic behind the way the world works and how you should approach it. In order for something to happen it needs an impulse (cause and effect). But we need to keep in mind why we want things to be done. Its often because we want the freedom afterwards. Some peaple just forget what they even work for.

Really great video, Ali! Thank you :)
Loved this content! thank you 👍🏼 Im going to apply most of them and see how it gos 🤞🏼starting with focusing on my typing speed 🐌☺️
This is very appreciated !
Thanks for this. Amazing stuff!
I increased my productivity just by listening to you talking, its much better than listening to study music n lofi haha
Once when I was supposed to be working on my goals I spent 3 hours watching videos on how not to procrastinate.
Lol
Watched the video multiple times, great insights provided at brevity! Excellent productivity tips and myths debunked 😁
With the new year coming up this video is perfect for those of us (me) who get trapped into the trend of (unsustainable) new year's resolutions...
Man this CZcams channel has so much useful information.
Haaahahahahah
Oooh I really needed to hear this. Thank you
This video was very helpful for me.
Thank you Ali
If you’re watching this and have ADHD or are otherwise neuro-atypical and feeling shitty about yourself because your brain just doesn’t work like this, you’re so not alone :)
Love this Ali! ❤
Your take on things mesmerises me… love ur.channel❤
absolutely adore the background music, especially the first composition
This helped tremendously when I was struggling. Thank you.
Great insights Ali as always
Priceless insights and recommendations!!!
This is so good. Thank you!!
Really excited for your book!! When it's coming?
you are great dude. love your advice
Your motivation bit reminded me of the 'don't wait for your muse' saying for art. Getting ideas and motivation needs to be practiced.
I love how you jumped straight to the myths
I love this! I love how you have induced some concepts of Atomic Habits by James Clear!
Appreciate your videos brother, big love from Cymru 🏴
I resonate with procrastinating because my environment is not perfect.. For example, not starting my work unless I have my daily agenda, or opening mail unless I have my mail opener (pink), and the worst is not being able to start work unless the hour is :00 or :30!
wonderful video with clear and concise information just perfect
It seems you somehow come to know what I need at just the right moment .... thanks ..... Godspeed!
I wasted lots of time trying out multiple productivity apps like - Notion, Obsidian, Remnote , evernote, onenote etc etc.
Finally i learned to keep it simple and use the app what best works for you.
Now i use app logseq for note taking as that worked best for me for organizing my notes , journals, courses which is free and best for backlinks and outliner.
And i use notion for tracking task management. Thats all !
Request everyone not to waste too much time on apps , test in short time and decide quickly which works best for you and stick with it. Better spend the time in your real works than wasting time in studying all new apps.
This! 💯
For me, it feels good to be productive. It is fun to aim to finding ways to be more productive and effective. I have friends and family that don’t enjoy the grind. They have other priorities. People can be different.
