Not stupid, but no time management skills...
@@rafaeldacosta8581 not just time management, if you don't want it, you will never get it.
You are sad lol
Ur not wrong late bloomer
Love how you timestamp your video, so I can manage my time by watching what I need
@@aliabdaal only problem is, that the video is too concise and all of it useful, so I have to watch all of it!
@@mehulvij9357 Haha that's so true!!
that is the best part
I’m your 1.1k like
Yeah, it's so good an he does this in every video!
My personal tip when studying which also applies 80/20 rule:
Pretend that you have procrastinated and tomorrow is your exam. Try to learn just enough to barely pass the exam within 1 day.
A day after that's done then you start dividing your study material. This fictive 1 day later exam is a good warming up, fast learning technique and a reminder that you might end up in that situation 1-2 weeks later when your real exam starts.
This is a great advice thanks @Ata
That's why model exams are meant for..
This is amazing advice, thank you so much
@@krishnapriyapb6125 I know But he is saying do that regularly
Usualky Time from Model exam to Finals isnt enough to Finish entire syllabus properly
I have tried this so many times just can't do it ugh
What i like the most about Ali is that how much he respects other peoples time . He always manages his sponsered ads in a way that ensure that the audience don’t have to actually go through all the annoying details about the sponsers
"I feel I have not missed out on anything by not watching the office,or breaking bad, or friends". You have made me reconsider all of my life choices.
This can ONLY be said by someone who has not watched these shows... When he retires n someday watches these shows with his grandkids, he might understand that he should have seen one episode per week atleast xp ;D
he actually said "... by not having watched the office, by not having watched breaking bad for the second time, by not having watched friends for the third time". So he might have watched bb & friends..at least..once..?:D
@@sukhqazmi5837 i mean if you weigh things. "Amazing amounts of productivity" ORRR "watching tv shows for hours", the answer becomes obvious. SInce i changed my habits, i regret watching the shows, it just wasnt worth my progress halting. But to each their own. whats right for me might not be for you and vice versa. :)
@@kevinsmithgaming i never said to binge watch this stuff... But every now n then watching something light awakens ur other parts of brain but exactly like you said to each their own but tbh i donot think anyone from any walk of life can not enjoy atleast one episode of Friends. Because weirdly that show was way ahead of its time. One can find productivity even into stuff that others consider leisure activity, it really depends on personal choice :)
@@sukhqazmi5837 I also love Friends. I personally don't necessarily agree with Ali on not watching TV either--obviously spending five hours watching TV instead of doing your homework isn't good, but in the evening watching one episode of Friends is totally fine. People commonly overlook the concept of taking care of yourself when they try to be as productive as possible (at least that's what I've seen). And yes, when somebody in my class doesn't get a Friends reference my teacher made (iconic tbh), everyone's like O_o
0:22 'How are you so cool-'' Ali, your humour is growing hahaha
Shin I hoped I wasn't the only one who caught that. 👍🏼
I did haha! Savage 🤪
I laughed 🤭
usually i only click on short videos on youtube , cause long ones usually contain the same amount of info with just extra blablabla , but every single one of your vid that i've watched so far is packed with useful information and ideas that its worth every second . i'm a med student and its hard for me to do well university ( not just exams but acquiring knowledge and skills to be a qualified doctor ) aside from it being so time consuming , so its really inspiring to see your life style , how you manage to fit in so much , and enjoy life without the risk of burnout .
"At any given time of the day, I am doing what I want to be doing."
Seriously, how many people can actually say that?
Charles Cheng His statement is the biggest problem with all the productivity gurus. I like a lot of what they have to say, there are a lot of good tips that I find helpful. But the lack of awareness that nearly 100% of the people in the world are absolutely not in control of what they can do with their time reeks of privilege and “dominant group.”
OIdStudentMom but you are in control of what you’re doing with your time, just think about it
@@SandDune11 Wouldn't that be a perfect little world? I am in control of maybe 20% if I'm lucky. There are other variables including social status, race, gender, where we live, education, employment, etc, etc, etc, that go into how much control we have. We are no more in complete control of how we can use our time *100%* than we are in control where we were born or who we were born to. Now, if we want to talk about how we use the little time we DO have control over (and some of us honestly do not have that, maybe you could look into how the impoverished and oppressed and enslaved of the world are forced to live) then that is worthwhile. But to claim we are in complete control all the time is to lack awareness of how the vast majority of people in the world live.
OIdStudentMom agreed
OIdStudentMom I would say he’s speaking to those who have the freedom to do so and don’t know how to. He is definitely not speaking to everyone in the world that’s a stretch.
I’m a high school student, but I still find a lot of your tips and advice insanely helpful! You’re damn awesome.
I'm in middle school 😂
Im a baby
@Sadece Nostalji Very funny
Ali Abdaal needs to collab with Thomas Frank
Omg yes!
Gold right here
Yeesssss!!! Dale 💃🏼🎉
Yes! I love them both!
Very true!
I love how people say that he tops the exam because he is super smart.. but noone sees the hard work.. and people (like me also)when we find something useful don't wanna share because it took time to find out those things and other people gonna know it in 1 second... While he shares all his valid points which are non repetitive .. just came across his channel already liking it

So do I in same way
Ali: Don’t watch TV alone
Me: feel conflicted about watching this video while on the couch
Then you're watching it with couch.
You are watching with us all!
whenver i am demotivated or sad ,i watch ur videos and instanntly realize how productive you are and how i am wasting my this present time by being sad , then i quickly wash my face and sit down to do the work , you really inspire me , thank you so much
My entire video editing process consists of keyboard shortcuts. I'm basically typing out a video edit. 🤣
I did not expect to see you here Damon lmao what a lovely surprise tho
Okay now I need a tutorial 🌻
Hi Damon !
You remind me of Taran from Linus Tech Tips.
You rock Damon :)
dr Ali, I just hope you never decide to give up youtubing, you're such an inspiration, thank you for the content and the apparent effort put in
That "Not watching TV on my own" was so relatable because I've been doing this unconciously and I didn't realize how much that save me a lot of time.
The life-changing book for me was a book called The Now Habit. I can't overstate how much the principles in this book changed my life; without it, I'd never have gotten into med school or achieved any of the things I'm most proud of. It's quite different (and, I'll even say, better) than Getting Things Done, because it explores procrastination as an anxiety problem - people read books like GTD and yet still don't apply the principles and then feel frustrated with themselves because they don't know why.
The Now Habit gives you really simple but profound tools for changing your thinking and your habits. I found the book by accident, and it predates the pomodoro technique (while still describing it, without the name). If you struggle with time management despite "knowing all the tricks," then The Now Habit is your best bet. Not getting paid for this endorsement, though I'd be glad to help the author, Neil Fiore, for all the help his book's given me!
Yep I felt the same way too
I'm not first
I'm not last

Again. His speaking speed is the audio version of a doctor's handwriting.
Exactly😂
No issues for me
You've got to be kidding😂
I'd say his speaking skills are admirable 🤗
I watch it at 1.5x
Teena Chandna i do, too. What i mean is that he speaks a bit fast.
I absolutely love how honest, helpful, and humble you are! Keep coming up with this great content 🙌🏽
literally the best time management tips video on youtube. so intimate.
"Not watching tv on my own" wow amazing self control👏🏻👏🏻
I’ve been binge watching all your videos. You’ve helped me so much and thank you for all the time and effort you put into all your videos. You’re an amazing human being ☺️
Okay, You’re one of my favorite content creators! First time commenting to forward my gratitude for all your great videos. So Thank You 😊 and keep on doing all your amazing work that I can proudly share with my friends and loved ones! ✨
Is your fast-speaking also a part of saving time? 😜 (thanks for another useful video!)
watch it at 1.5x speed. Youll save more time.
Im a med student and you just took me out of my bed and plan my daily routine again😁❤😊 even if its 1am. Thanks Doc! What a very influential vlog😁. Have an awesome life ahead!!
The more I watch your videos the more I love them. I am at a point of my life where I seem to be stuck on every aspect. Your videos make me see a way out and give me hope. Thank you for that.
i remember learning about parkinson's law in class (im majoring in psychology) and lord i really need to get it engraved in my mind. thank you for the helpful video!
Awesome content! Loved how you outlined both overarching principles and specific tactics. Really enjoyed this one! Subbed :)
I completely understand the whole "no TV rule", it is definitely one of my worst habits that I've been unable to successfully kick out. And there is one HUGE reason for this. The reason is that I'm trained to watch TV/Netflix during lunch/dinner. Which is why I end up, at least, spending two hours of my day doing this. What would be an alternative? I've tried reading but I find this extremely difficult to do. Sure, one alternative is definitely talking. But, being quarantined and stuck at home with family does not help with that.
Man I love your voice! Its so soft and comforting!
gay
had to pull out the pen and notebook, your content is always A1
I absolutely love that rule of not watching TV on your own. Definitely an activity I'm looking to cut down more!
I've been watching self-help stuff for more than a decade and I gotta say something about the way you assemble information makes it very actionable and useful to me. I've actually implemented a short list of things I learned from you in the past week or two. Usually I watch these videos and I'm like yeah ok but nah I don't wanna do that. Thanks a lot man.
He's like the big brother I never had. Thank you so much!
“One of those people who sadly uses windows” we already have shortcuts lmao
I’m about to enter my college journey and i stumbled upon one of your videos about your CU videos and boiii i must say you’re inspiring me to do so much more by utilizing my time wisely and striving more🥺🥺💖
The TV thing makes a lot of sense to me! I'm ramping up to implement it and it has been going well. Thanks so much man, the past month or 2 after discovering your channel, have been so rewarding because of everything you discuss. Not just this video, almost everything that you have put out that I have watched has been really helpful. Please do continue your good work! Thanks again!
OMG LITERALLY THIS VIDEO IS GODSENT -thank you :)
I started watching your videos a couple of years ago when I was thinking of changing my UK nursing career and applying to graduate med school back home in Portugal. I've now just finished my first year with top marks and a lot of that is thanks to your tips on productivity and spaced repetition. I'm very happy to see your channel and company growing! Thanks so much for everything and I hope to have the pleasure to work next to you one day in a UK Trust! Cheers!
You did miss out not seeing the office. However, I watch tv at night when I’ve reached my productivity limit. I know I’m done for the day(just too tired etc). And that’s when I’d click on the office. Such a great show!!!
Wow!Tactic no.2,that is BATCHING really got me. I just started my RUclips channel and understood that RUclips is a real time business that take so much of your time but with this BATCHING I'm undubitably sure I'll be able to balance RUclips and my other life stuff perfectly. Thank you so much, you're a lifesaver!

Hi I am from Germany :D and came across your channel recently and since you mentioned that you have a pakistan background I wondered wether you concider yourself muslim, christian, atheist or something else :).
I loved without a tv for a few years about a decade or so ago. Everyone seemed rather stressed by the fact that I had no TV, but it was truly the most productive time of my life so, about a year ago I gave my tv away. Only thing is, I have now discovered RUclips 🙄
Great video!
thanks #Ali #Abdaai help us to improve our knowledge!
What about RUclips? Or watch something to learn, like documentary’s, even if they are not stick on your own subject?
or don't
Dear Ali, I just want to let you know that you are my idol and there are many more who are just like me🙂 Keep making vids👍👍
With applications like Alfred, I think it's more about keeping the work flow rather than saving time
Great content, keep it coming. Straight to the point and really useful, thanks for all the advice.I have began implementing some of these tips and was surprised I actually already do some unconsciously 😄
The last time I watched his video, he was still in university studying medicine..and now he's a doctor! (it watched his iPad note taking yesterday)
You are going to make a great doctor! Keep up the good work and thanks for all the good content.
I went to med school relatively late (at age 35) and that was in 2001. I'm not a fan of excuses, but I do think that it's way harder to focus today than when I was in school. The internet was around, but not like today - we had Palm Pilots, which allowed you to keep medical reference materials handy, but they weren't necessarily connected to the internet at all times; cell phones were just becoming popular but weren't permitted to be on in the hospitals. Getting down to work was much easier bc there weren't so many distractions. I'm glad I'm not in school these days, though I think your tips are really helpful!
Thank you for recommending Alfred! It's already been very useful for me - I love that I can launch and type in 'doc' and it takes me directly to Google Docs. No more wasting time.
He’s blessed with so much talents.
No he just works hard.. Just his one rule of not watching TV alone.. 99% of the population can't do that..and that's why he looks 'blessed'
George is right man.
Probably the only RUclipsr who actually gets straight to the point. Great work Ali @Qaza_x
Love each of your videos. Much appreciation for the time, effort and content of each of the videos. Superb job! You are inspiring many people! 😍❤️
this is great! i did not except to get so many useful tips out of one single video omg!
Missed this kind of videos! Love how you categorized the different ways to manage time into principles, tactics and tools! It's smart and the video was helpful, best of lucks!
"How are you so cool?"
i love this doctor, he punctured me with all productivity tips and i love it!
At last, I understand Pareto Principles :
20% of your effort resulted in 80% of the outcome!
If I applied it to studying Maths and Physics, that means 80% of the result that I got in the exam came from 20% of the content (the basics). To master the exam, I should focus on the basics rather than the specifics. Thanks for opening a new mindset for me, Ali.
I love how the video came out in the middle of July but the background music is O Christmas Tree
About that Parkinson law.. I realize it's true but when I have shorter time I always get pressured and stressed and get less done. Also doesn't work much when you have to repeat. Idk. Maybe I just have to manage that stress 🤦🏻♀️
I'm in 11th grade and I'm so glad I found your channel. I wasn't sure if I could make it as a youtuber while studying to be a doctor and this gave me a better idea of what I should be doing.
One of the best contents I've seen from you. The pacing is perfect as well. Thanks, Ali!
how do you protect your mental health? I can imagine going to Cambridge would be quite stressful
He has many creative outlets and a social life
please ali make a video specifically abt this topic!!!!!!!!!!
why going to cabridge would be stressful?
@@trnahid4270 cambridge is the best universities in the uk and is highly, highly competitive, so seeing any student seem so calm is very uncommon.
Ali talks a lot about stoicism and using efficient study techniques, I imagine that these are the things that help him most.
Perfect timing-I'm just starting med school this Monday X'D gonna need these tips
K - raalle I started getting interested in the mind palace after reading moonwalking with Einstein. I would like to learn more about it. Any rec?
Got used to your time stamps that I often find myself searching for them when watching other RUclips videos so thanks for spoiling us Ali :)))
I also happen to have the same rule, no watching tv alone! I've never mentioned it to anyone so it's amazing to realize someone else has the same rule
I'm watching all these productivity tutorials and at the end of each one, I realize that the authors most likely don't have a family (like at least one own child) and this is how you can plan so many activities during the day :P Nice video, though.
Valid Point I have never seen a productivity viedio of a person with family
One word... "kids".. before I had kids I was a brain surgeon, played for Barcelona, ran for parliament and had time to get my daily latte and meet with friends... My advice Ali... Have kids and then come back and advise on timekeeping 😉
Truest words spoken, with kids every thing gets interrupted every second whether it's tv or work
Thank you so much for this channel, doc Ali! I finally learned Active recall and indeed, I felt it'll be splendid to use for memorizing tonnes of things. May God bless you!
Your content is super valuable. I've been clicking through one video after another for almost an hour now. Very helpful. Thank you for putting it out there :)
“If you’re one of those people who sadly uses windows” I died 😂

Thank you so much for such well-researched videos!❤ They are so enlightening and I'm continously blown away every time!!
Superb work you've done, you are wonderful! ❤❤
I've just discovered your channel and have subscribed. I just wanna say that I really like your energy and your content!
Meet Matt D’Avella please.
He’s even in recommended videos!
Watch my videos for motivated study
I only use the command space bar on my mac, cause I am super lazy.
But at the same time that helped me to remember many article authors and the topic they published about (I save articles by author year journal key word). When I am writing a paper, and I need to check again the results from the original article, I only type the first author last name and open the article in a sec.
I've always held by the belief that there is no excuse for anyone out there to not do more in their life. There is ALWAYS extra time to be found to pursue dreams and passions and creative endeavors.
Love your wathcing TV approach. I never realized that I actually do the same. I have a huge TV at home which I turn on 10 times a year. You're not alone! Cheers
Waste of 3 secs of my life!

This week I found and fell in love with your channel. Your voice is buttery smooth! Im devouring the content. You’re the man. Thank you for your channel.
He doesn’t even want to waste 3 secs for dragging his mouse to the file he needs😂 hella big respect to that spirit
I've really been inspired by how well you are able to balance your life, giving due importance to both your work and the other aspects of your life. Thank you for your videos and posts( and I love listening to your podcasts too!), they make me want to be a better version of myself😊
So you're telling me that the way you have time to be a doctor, youtuber, etc. is by having an IOS extension that saves you literally seconds and by learning to type faster?
I wish this video wasn't about concepts like the 80/20 rule and arbitrary computer extensions, but a real life view into your schedule. How much time do spend on different tasks a week? What does your calendar look like?
I think an answer to these questions would be a far more helpful video.
It is quite rare to see such a well-done video with content from the first to the last second mate! Cheers for that!
Amazingly, I really enjoy your videos. Even if I suffer from my very short attention span, I had never skipped any of your videos. Kudos, Ali!
Windows: sad
Mac: has Alfred
Windows: just use that windows logo key thing
I absolutely love how organized and direct to the point your videos are!
Doctor, RUclipsrs, businessman, pianist, guitarist, gamer, stock investor, and author. I am gonna need a course to learn time management like you!
I have to agree on the Tv rule, I always feel left out whenever my friends have conversations about Bojack horseman, the office, friends etc, all of which I have never seen but your reasoning made me realise I've just spent my time on other things/goals. Thanks for sharing your tips!
I am currently working on my medschool study schedule and saw this while procrastinating a bit. Haha will finish watching this then finish it. Promise...
I feel very attacked when he mentioned people who go home and netflix all night 😂 im on s6 of BBT ya’ll 😂🤣
The fact that "Oh Christmas Tree" is playing in the background.... hahaha I can't! Love your videos by the way! Thanks for sharing!
