Sir, you forgot to Pin this comment.
What is with the air mate
Give the link for the wallpaper please.
Wallpaper link please?
Ali where is your wallpaper from? It looks really nice
We need to get you a quieter keyboard
🤔 🤔
oooo
Ali you need to take this opportunity, his keyboard are so cool
Nice
duuuude i'd love a quieter keyboard :)
Last time I was this early, Ali was a first year Med student at Cambridge
Can we have a "Mum reacts to my productivity setup?" Would go viral I promise
No
Nahh
@@RanenPo no it wouldn’t be better, those ideas are dumb, why tf y’all want to watch someone elses mother react to a productivity setup?! Do y’all really find that entertaining?! SMH🤦🏻♂️
Ali i hope your reading this. Because of your helpful study and revision guide you have helped me go from having average GCSE grade from 3 to all 7s and above. You have changed me a-lot mentally and physically. This means a-lot for me. Thank You
“So I’m an adult now, Mum. I can make my own decisions.” - Ali Abdaal, Aspiring Gym Shark, 2021.
South Asian Kids loved that.
The fear in his eyes after he said that..
Take off the chains, cuffs, and shackles.
😂😂😂LOL
Why are you spaming in Ali and sheen channel😏😏😏
@@yesbeautifulyou7406 The fact that an impostor claiming to be Ali has completely evaded you says a lot of about you. THAT is spamming.
Ali's next video: How I grew my beard, productively.
day in a life of my productive beard.
I can see it happening lol
🤣
"IKEA plant"
Ahh something I can afford
I can just about afford the sticky notes on his desk 😂😂
Lol
For cable managing a standing desk, consider mounting a long extension cord under the desk and plugging in your desk accessories to that. That way there's only one cable going down to the ground, and the rest can be neatly shoved into a "cable rack" under the desk (I believe ikea sells some for cheap).
oh and having a coiled cable makes it so that the cable goes down in a straight way instead of being tight when standing and loose and weird when sitting imo
Word on the street is, Ali is so productive he's productive in his sleep.
Ali has only REM sleep
I believe that
He dreams of spreadsheets
You're not wrong, that's what passive income is
I could totally imagine him using lucid dreaming for productivity. 😂
“I’m an adult now mum, I can make my own decisions” *CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY*
Can relate to that, can relate to that so much 😂
Hahah seriously 😂
Sad 10 year old with plans noises*
lmaoooooooo
Same lol
Did you consider to get an Atomos Ninja for your Sony camera to have a faster medium than the SD cards + a monitor while making videos. They are really great in my workflow at least.
Ahh interesting, never really tried it. I’ll have a look at some videos about it, thanks!
@@aliabdaal and thanks for all the inspiring videos! 🙂
Would also be interested to know which LUT/ picture profile do you use for your videos. The colors look amazing. I think you should share it.
@@aliabdaal yeah I would consider that too, a ninja V tbh
@@aliabdaal wallpaper please!!!
Just a tip for the cables, get an Ikea Signum cable rack and mount it underneath the table. Buy a large power brick and put it inside that and connect everything to it. Then you only have a single cable running from your desk to the power outlet.
Legends say Ali was born with the productivity gene....
His mother is a registered psychiatric.
Ali choosing a wife: The main reason why I chose this one is because she's white so, she goes well with my productive desk setup.
Kinda racist though!
Racist much?
@@perfectlyimperfect6777 I meant, the joke is racist, chose the wife because she's white ?.. is it so hard to see that ?
@@syedkamran6586 I was replying to him, and it's a rhetorical question
@@perfectlyimperfect6777 cool
A good work environment makes all the difference when it comes to staying productive!
Ali: *buys $700 chair*
Also Ali: Mom won't say anything cuz I am an adult now.
Ali's Mom: Ali, we need to talk.
May god bless you brother, I really respect your way of implementing self-discipline and perseverance in your life. You make me realize i have "a lot" to improve in organizing my life :), the exponential growth of your channel did not rely on "luck" as you stated in a previous video, it's because people realize you are an exceptional person Allahuma barek.
Do you ask her if she is productive when you go on a date or not ? 🤣
I date
"No"
Ali: NEXT!
Lucy Allan also has to be white to fit his desk setup ;)
@@JousefM She didn’t make it pass the first question ... 🤣
no because that's a closed question which doesn't stimulate conversation. instead I ask "to what extent are you productive?"
Honestly for the last 3 years I've just bought whatever you recommend dude and my life improves a little bit each time
Maaaan. Talk about an incredible set up! Tips noted for future productivity (especially in creating more frictionless set ups for my videos 👀)
That and how clean and pure your videos are and how they're a joy to watch, I just had to subscribe immediately. Super inspiring - looking forward to more!
yes true
No one:
Ali: "How to be productively unproductive."
I bet you gave him an idea 💡 for new video /philosophy
😂😂😂😂😂😂
For cable management I love the cheap and versatile IKEA Signum (I use two) that screws to the bottom of any desk. Cable ties help secure power strips underneath the tray and it’s big enough to carry transformers on top of it too. A separate extension cable could be screwed to the bottom of the desk for ancillary plugging in of other items.
Hey Ali! Wow! This video was so awesome! I love seeing all this stuff. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
I love how you are explaining everything as if we are in the same room...nice
Desde hace un tiempo he estado siguiendo tus vídeos y son demasiado útiles, gracias Ali me has ayudado mucho a organizar mi vida
Thanks too much for make videos, I become more productive and effective
When you realise his desk setup is more than your rent😂
Thank you for this video! I learn something new every year. I want to point out that you can set the scroll button of the Logitech MX3 mouse to scroll smoothly instead of my micro-increments, which mimics the feel of a trackpad. Enjoy!
Only other thing I recommend “splashing out” on is an embed mug! Don’t know if you make your own coffee but it’s such a nice novelty to have every sip be at the perfect temperature while you’re working.
Extremely cool. Working at home I realized the importance of having a big screen for do many things.
Hey Ali, I sleep and dream at the same time, do you count that as being productive?
yes boss
Desk goals doc. 🔥❤️ More power to you 😊
thank you man, your setup looks sick and i was looking forward to what you use.
I just clicked because how BEAUTIFUL THE THUMBNAIL IS
Ali: makes fun of windows users
Also ali: maxed out to 16gb of ram 😂
@zONURz there are sooo many windows laptops some of them are good and some of them are bad so you can’t really say that
@Nikola Stanković apple overraters in a nutshell
@zONURz Clearly you haven't used the full potential of Windows they aren't ugly, they have way more features and are much more customisable then Macs. They have more programs, games availabile. Way much more support and developers working on it. However the biggest downside to it is the errors. So many random bugs and errors here and there
Dell xps has entered the chat
Absolutely LOOOOOVE Ugmonk. Great guy, amazing product.
Ali! You probably won’t see this, but in the case that you do, on Zoom calls you can toggle between mute and unmute by hitting Command+Shift+A, and that with Command+Tab and Command+Shift+Tab between apps (notes and zoom) may help you stay inconspicuous while you’re note-taking on Zoom calls. Anyways, love your videos!
Lets talk the truth. Ali has become very good at editing
I love it
Doesn’t he have an editor?
That is the fun part . He does it himself
When you thought the 2019 intro was good and then this comes out.....
Always used a cherry blue mx switch keyboard but recently got a brown. I gotta say, I LOVE IT! Its like cherry MX Blue minus the too noisy clickity sound but you still get that clackity sound.
That tip from the Herman miller guy on the armrest placement literally just helped me get rid of the neck pain I've been getting the whole week.
MKBHD: SO I'VE BEEN USING NOTIONN FOR 2 WEEKS NOW.
ALI: HOLD MY DUMBELLS FOR ME
Wow! what a coincidence! i was just watching your "How to be more productive in lockdown" video before sleeping and you uploaded another video just now!
By the way i'm a 10th grade student and your videos really help!
Love from India !
There is a hidden button on the MX Master 3 on the flat surface under the thumb rest. Click that with your thumb and see magic happens.
what does it do?
@@loveinadream5531 I think by default if you hold the button and slide the mouse up, down, left or right you can switch desktops or minimize the window but I've set mine to show the desktop because I don't really switch desktops.
This one is for smooth infinite scrolling...
Hey kc !
Ali Abdaal is one of the most inspiring people of today. I am lucky to be living in the same era as him.
When your mother sees this video your in trouble for the chair purchase. Your still her baby
Recommendation for Ali: ‘Japonisme’. It’s a book.
I didn't know he could be so cheeky this is a vibe
I just switched from MX Blue clones to Otemu Silent Sky swtches. They still have a good 'feeback' with a tactile bump rather than the click of the blues. The clones I was using had 55g actuation force on paper, the new silent ones are 62g. However, the real MX Blues have 35g actuation. . . so it might be a bit of a stretch for you. The difference in experience for me has been absolutely massive, even in the few hours I've spent with them so far. Definitely get a switch tester to investigate "silent" switches. Seriously.
Great video as usual! Just FYI, you can change the MX Master 3 to smooth scrolling by clicking the middle button behind the scroll wheel or by changing the setting in the Logitech app.
Came to the comments to say this.
I see the letter opener has moved on from the days of huge ass kitchen knife, looks far less concerning now 😂
I can't believe we have been together soo long on this channel from the time Ali was a student at Cambridge to a junior doctor at Cambridge till here today
Forget everything else, I noticed a 'call Nani' in written to-do lists. you've nailed it, good lad.
Regular people: Post it notes.
Ali: "Analog productive to-do productivity interface"
can't believe it!
To do note: “call with gymshark 💪”
finally a desk tour that doesn't take it self so seriously. I mean really, do people give a hoot about someone else has a desk...I guess at 63yrs old I don't understand what is important
The most productive person in youtube.Really inspired to be more productive from you.
"this RUclips channel is making some money now." lol "some money"
Coz he’s investing most of it. Wealthy people invest in things that make them richer, normal people buy things to make them look richer.
@@gold6813 I was joking that he said "some money" which makes it sound small, but really we know he's making over a million dollars a year from the channel.
@@ashleyspianoprogress1341 hes like a doctor
isn't he already rich enough?
@@caleb6916 he is rich
I legit screamed when I saw this video. Yaaayayayyay.
Never thougt that the desk setup genre can inspire so much...i watch those videos in a row for days know 😀
Just subscribed. Love the set up. Thanks for the skillshsre link. Looking into how to improve my productivity, as a master procrastinator
“Which is why that plant doesn’t get a lot of love, because it’s been molested by that microphone significantly”
My Alexa scared the shit out of me when Ali started talking to it lol
LOL... same here I immediately plugged in the earphones.
Flex
I love the fact that you showed the ergonomic way of sitting!
I hate seeing people sitting with their elbows in mid-air on a way too shallow table!
That Monitor is the highlight! I’m very inspired. State of the Art!
Your best thumbnail ever...
That shirt omggggg stealing my hearttt
yes!!
Love it!! Also about to finish your FCP class on Skillshare and LOVE it!
Looking dapper Mr. Abdaal
This notification made my day
“This RUclips channel is making sone money now” he says after 1.4 mill subs, 👍🏻🤗🤫. Congrats Ali!!
Ali "Splash Out" Abdaal. love it
Thank you for sharing your videos. I always learn great things from you.
Ali is so productive that he wakes up his alarm clock, when he’s not being a wasteman👌
Wasteman do I spot a Toronto mans?
I swear that poor plant is blinking “SOS” into the camera.
I see it too 😂
Love the new workspace.
His desk setup is literally my dream setup.
What Ali Sees: “Minimalist Product.”
What I see: “That s**t be expensive. I can manage with Jugaad/DIY.”
I just rehauled my home office too and we have a similar setup! The Apple M1 + TS3 Setup is beastly.
Just got Noom and it seems great so far! Would love for you to do a video on it. Thanks!
Loving the setup 👌🏽👌🏽
Everyone: Wow, I am so excited to get a monitor.
Ali: HAHA JOKES ON YALL I GOT A 90 INCH FLAT SCREEN TV
I wonder what mama said after he got that chair. But actually. That “analogue to do list”... 🤣
Epic setup man
Thanks for sharing
Big inspiration👀👍
When the man was showing me his desk-tidy organiser thing, that was the moment I realised I definitely need to go to bed. Good night all.
I too have the MX Master 3 mouse (MATE. That thing is FANTASTIC), but for smooth scrolling you can simply hit the little button behind the scroll wheel to disable its magnetic clutch, giving you all the silky smoothness you could ever want. Personally, I prefer the clicky feedback provided by leaving the clutch setting alone, but each to their own... 🙂💪🏽
ALSO: I have its keyboard counterpart, the *MX Keys*, which has a lovely backlit keyboard, multiple settings for *APP-SPECIFIC* keyboard shortcuts within its own Logitech Options app (which also provides customisable app-specific shortcuts for the extra buttons on the *MX Master 3*), and most of all-no obnoxious clicky-clacky keys. Your future girlfriends can thank me later. 😁
"My analogue ToDO List!"
Company: * has wood and scrap paper from their highschool graduation*
Sucker
Your video looks so good, just found your channel ❤️🔥👏
Hey there! I've recently come across the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule and I must say, it's a game-changer for keeping my desk setup clean. The powerful vacuuming and blowing functions, along with the multiple tubes and high-quality filters, make it super efficient. Plus, the compact size and long-lasting battery are perfect for on-the-go use. Definitely recommend checking it out!
Ali is probably more productive than me at brushing his teeth... I can just image in a video, ‘how I brush my teeth once a month to save time’ 😂 😂
It’s happening...
To do note: “call with gymshark 💪”
Is there anything this man can’t do.
I took that as a joke
Am vicariously living out this admin layout, not possible otherwise!
"Flexing on Zoom-call" seems to be the modern-day equivalent of buying bling or a swanky new ride.
make a video about motivation and dont giving up, and how this will afect your live
'I'm am adult now mum...I can make my own decisions..." Felt the weight of that statement way too hard 😅
The Herman Miller is a game changer. 100% truth on no back or hip pain. Best money ever spent
I love your workstation. beautiful!
Try out the satechi Mac mini sliver hub, it will look like as if its a part of the mac mini
Glad to see that “do a productive poo” had been completed on today’s to do list. 9:25 Is that the next video?
Llololololololollololololololololollolololololol
Man that monitor is honestly the most amazing one I've ever seen.
