      Could you make a video or go more in depth about what constitue a good break? Is watching a YT video a good way to take a break for example or is there some activities that will make it so our break is not as effecient.

    Very inspiring video! I learned the following (notes for myself):
    1- Have a plan (block time and have a goal either long and/or short term)
    2- Know how you feel (it's about awareness so practice meditation and FBR method if you're a content creator)
    3- Stop multitasking (finish A, then proceed to B)
    4- Take breaks (focus for 52 minutes and rest 17 - or just focus until you loose it - deactivate notifications)
    5- The golden trio (Diet, Exercice and Sleep became like a cliche - focus on the hardware before the software)

Therefore, to enter Paradise and to survive punishment , must follow the last of the Prophets and Messengers, mohammed ﷺ ..We also believe in all the heavenly books such as : The Bible , the torah , the zabor ...

What helped me was filming myself while doing random activities (like washing dishes) and narrating what I was doing or thinking at the time. I didn’t show these videos to anyone, but I was watching them from time to time. After a while, I started feeling more natural and confident around the camera and it did help when I was doing reels or going live. You just need to get used to talking into the void basically 😅.

    This entire video is golden, but if one just applied the first 1:24 minutes to their life, it would changed drastically! For years, I struggled with being distracted and I didn't realize until recent years, that distraction was keeping me from the fear of success! There was a part of me that actually feared success and this was such a blessings when I recognized it, because it's what I've used to help family, friends, and even clients overcome this fear. Thank you for not only providing resources that people can use, but I thank you for showing yourself in these different examples in your videos. Many creators operating at high levels like yourself, rarely share their struggles and things that are challenging for them. I appreciate you being vulnerable and showing exactly what you do.

    The biggest distraction isn't social media. the biggest distraction is the people around you that pull you back from focus to distraction. Try and distance yourself from people and disconnect from the world and focus on what you want that is the only way to stay on focus as soon you give time for other people in your life you lose focus because your mind is going to rather be distracted with people around you.

    It would be cool if you pull in an expert on ADHD for an interview on startegies and tactics for focus. I was diagnosed in my 30s and always thought my inability to focus was 100 percent something I was causing. Now that I know its onboard, there are a whole slew of approaches to help maintain focus that are not neurotypical. The cool thing is, a lot of these startegies also help neurotypicals much the same way captions help everyone, not just deaf or hard of hearing people. I realize this isnt your niche per say, but coule be hugely valuable for your audience as there are countless neurospicys among us!

      In your breaks, you're allowed to not do anything. Let your mind wander. Steve Jobs had ideas while on walks. Others have ideas in the shower. If you constantly do something all day until you sleep, it's like having a high CPU in your laptop, spending so much energy to process stuff going on, which subsequently lowers the performance of your laptop (similar with our brains). Multitasking and hustling all day 7/7 isn't so productive and has higher chances of you burning out. Suggested book to read on this: Stolen Focus - Johann Hari.

I have a method that it’s like going to the gym, but for my brain. What I find very useful it’s to have a different task that brings my brain to that concentration stage ( a task that I enjoy, it could be reading something I found very interesting or doing some math related tasks) when I am already very focused, I switch to read those contracts. Right now after I begin using this method for a long time (like 15 years), it’s just takes a few minutes to feel ready…. Literally 3 to 5min. If I want to make it fun, I put a very relaxed music with natural sounds. You should try it and let me know if works for you!

    I set "marathons" for myself. 30/60+ days of doing something without fail. It is the most efficient tool to me. I choose the activities that are truly important to me, and I add a value due to the amount of days of doing these activities without fail. I mean, I already wanted to do that (language learning, doing exercises, drinking at least 1.5 l of water, etc), and now I've got the extra motivation - I don't want to ruin the successful line of days, and I see the horizon when I can reward myself, or take a deserved break, but as a winner.
    So, when I within a marathon and I know for sure that anyway I will do all the necessary things, it's easier for me to choose time and to stick to agenda. The previous achievements strengthen me, and inevitability of a task helps to do it whatever it takes.

    My main takeaway was to avoid creating new obligations when taking a break. "Accomplishing" other tasks on my to-do list during breaks is a habit of mine. I only stretch myself thin and overwork myself that way. This only feeds my anxiety and tricks me into believing I am being productive when I am really not - I am only burning myself out. Taking an active break helps me move from zone to zone (i.e., for one task being in one area and then moving to another for the next). This process allows me to have more active breaks throughout the day, not just the gym spread throughout my day.

    1. Make a plan for the task you want to complete
    2. What -ve emotion is leading you to get distracted?
    Is it Anxiety, Self-doubt, Boredom
    3. Do one thing at a time (attention residue)
    4. Take breaks for better productivity
    a)set time intentionally for breaks
    b)or work until your focus drops
    Things you do break during should not put more load on you
    5. Better/improve these habits (eating, sleeping, exercise)

    I will get back to the dream team of Time Blocking and Pomodoro soon! I'd rather plan it out at the beginning of the week so it's sustainable, so I'll chuck it on to my weekly review. Right now though, the thing that most struck me was the "do something that does NOT create additional obligations during a break" and to be more intentional when I sit down, just look at my bujo, ignore everything and take into account time I do have to decide what I can do with it. These two things will definitely be something I will apply. Also the resting thing, currently 9:28 PM and I've still got some juice in me, but I want to get good sleep lol. Cheers Ali, great video

      The Creator of everything is : Allah " الله " , and He created us to worship Him alone, and in order to teach us how to worship Him, He sent prophets like " Noah, Abraham Moses, Jesus, " peace be upon them, and the last of the Messengers is Muhammad, may الله prayers and peace be upon him. Therefore, to enter Paradise and to survive punishment , must follow the last of the Prophets and Messengers, mohammed ﷺ ..We also believe in all the heavenly books such as : The Bible , the torah , the zabor ... Which " ALLAH الله " revealed to his prophets and messengers ، But it has changed and distorted. Therefore, " الله " sent Muhammad ﷺ with the
      " Qur’an “ God’s Preserved Words” to restore the previous religions to the truth.There is a lot of evidence that indicates that the Qur’an is a miracle ... We mention for example: its rhetorical and linguistic miracle, its scientific miracle, as it talked about scientific facts that have been discovered now only after technological development, just as the Qur’an talked about historical facts that they will happen and have already occurred Most of the current discoveries, in all fields, are present and mentioned in the Qur’an 14 centuries ago .The biggest sin in Islam is "shirk " polytheism For example, to worship Jesus This is a shirk Whoever worships other than God "Allah الله " is in the hell .We love and believe in all the prophets and messengers , but worship is only for " ALLAH الله " Like prayer and asking for forgiveness and mercy are only for " Allah الله " .whoever become Muslim all sins are forgiven by " ALLAH الله"He is like a new page, so he should be keen on doing good deeds Because heaven is the abode of bliss , pleasure , And everything your soul desires and what " الله ALLAH" has prepared for its people is beyond imagination The five pillars of Islam: Shahada, establish prayer, Zakat, fasting Ramadan, and Hajj.The Pillars of Faith: It is the belief in God "Allah الله " , His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and Predestination " Qadar " .A free person is a Muslim , by his servitude to " الله ALLAH ", is liberated from everythingTo become a Muslim, the first thing to do is to say
      the " shahada " testimony :" I bear witness that there is no god for worship except " ALLAH الله " and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger "Learn about " Islam " to know the true purpose of your existence in this life , and you know how to worship the one who created your heart , any question about Islam I can help you " insha allah " . Especially at the present time, you can download an application with the prayer call " adhan " that reminds you of the 5 prayers times And give you the direction of the qiblah this after saying testimony " shahada " And learn purity ( how to make ghusl and ablution )

    Action step - Track my work time and identify triggers that cause me to get distracted. From there thinking and planning about how to avoid and ideally remove those distraction triggers when I need to be on task. For example, if my environment is noisy and I then hop on my phone. I need to set a timer to help remain locked into my task then if possible put on headphones or leave the area until I arrive at a stopping point.

    Mistake 1: Not having a plan. The speaker says that if you don't have a plan, you can't be distracted because you never had a plan to begin with.
    Mistake 2: Ignoring how you feel. The speaker says that negative emotions can be a root cause of distraction.
    Mistake 3: Multitasking. The speaker says that switching between many different tasks within a work block can be counterproductive.
    Mistake 4: Not taking care of yourself. The speaker says that lack of sleep, unhealthy food and no exercise can make it difficult to focus.
    Mistake 5: Using technology without a plan. The speaker says that social media platforms are designed to keep you distracted.

    What I got out of step 1 making a plan, is that although I time block, I don't have anywhere in my calendar what the end goal is (or the intention), so I think this and step 1 on video 3 of the series on updating daily the google doc on what I accomplished, is really essential. I have no problem scheduling, but I often fail to stick to what I scheduled, and I think it's because I need that reminder/daily review of the end goal.

I put all 5 points down in my exercize book/ journal. AND THEN, I got stuck into my Astrology audio lesson with a stop at the 55 min mark.I repositioned my 5 shelf book shelf to give my desk more space in the break. Then I did another 45 mins to finish the tape. It really worked. !!!!! Plus I subscribed to your channel.
