brother, Join Adonis Gang made by Hamza. You can find the link in some of his videos. That's where we young men help either other and give advices. You can ask questions there.
@@nonpoppinchannel1930 thanks bro, I've just checked it out (I mean the guy hamza) and I must say he has got something right at so many f***ing levels. Not yet sure about adonis school it's 129$ so I need a lil more insight but primarily I feel it's worth buying.
I really like that these videos are well-credited, well organized, and well-presented. I've seen a lot of comments about how this content is repetitive, but I have been watching for years and I'm still learning a lot from these, and honestly, I'm glad these messages are reinforced, and updated with the latest publications, so I can try and continue to be consistent.
People fail to understand that it is repetition, routine and consistency that get you forward. It's borinng but it works. All successful people have some sort of routine they use.
Hey Ali, you may want to research the sponsor. Better help has been involved in numerous scandals and shady business practices that are quite documented for years now. They also don't guarantee that the person you're being given therapy by is licensed either. As well as make it extremely difficult to discontinue their "service". Please up vote so he can see this.
I totally get it. It's tough to stay disciplined, especially when it comes to finances. I've been there, and sometimes it feels like I'm just spinning my wheels.
Yeah, discipline is key, especially in the financial aspect. I've found that setting clear goals and tracking my expenses really helps keep me on track.
Well for me one thing that helped me was getting a good and relaible finànce advisor. Someone who would grow my portfolio. I started 2 years ago with this man..
What was said in the Progress Not Immediate Success section was a good reminder about my lack of patience. My obsession with achieving results in a short time is a frequent topic in my conversations with my psychologist. Great video!
When you said you are doing too many things at a time, you spoke to me. For a very long time, I thought I was going crazy when I couldn’t just get myself to do anything but watching this video and also doing more research I realised that the reason I couldn’t be disciplined with myself was because I was doing too many things at the same time. Thanks Ali you are a real one ❤️
Ali. I find you so genuine and kind, your advice is so well thought out and tried and tested, for the most part that it eels like a kind, gentle nudge towards making my life, just a little bit better each time I watch one of your videos! You're making the world a better place, Ali! keep up the excellent work!!!!
Ali, your videos has become much more relaxing and slow that I'm able to follow your speaking style and I understand the content more now. A lot of your videos has helped me. Keep inspiring. ❤
It was challenging when watching your videos at the beginning and understanding completely as your speed talks, now alhamdulillah easy to get whatever I watch . Thanks to Ali brother for making useful videos that help anyone move forward rather than before. May Allah bless you for living longer peacefully with your pleasant family .❤
This video presents such a refreshing perspective on self-discipline, especially with the idea that it's not about grinding endlessly but about making the work feel easier over time. The mental image of the boulder and the hump really resonates-it acknowledges that a little push is sometimes all you need to gain momentum. It’s a much healthier approach than constantly forcing yourself uphill. I also appreciated the focus on simplifying goals. The reminder to prioritize fewer things and let go of the myth that you can juggle everything is something so many of us need to hear. The question of "What would I do if I only had 2, 4, or 8 hours a week?" is such a practical exercise for identifying what truly moves the needle. The concept of flexibility within structure-like the "write most days" mantra or the two-day rule-also stood out. It’s such a smart way to maintain consistency without being overly rigid. It feels much more sustainable, especially for anyone juggling work, life, and personal goals. Finally, the emphasis on sticking with one system or method instead of constantly searching for a "better" one is so important. Often, the problem isn’t the tools we’re using but our desire for quick fixes. Just picking a system and committing to it over the long term seems to be the key to real success and discipline.
Out of all your videos which I have watched, this one is an amazing one, rock solid. I need all these points to concentrate in my life and be insistent with these things, not quit, continue, find time, thanks for reminding me again.
I couldn't agree with this more - "getting yourself to do something that you don't feel like doing" - this is life. If you push through then eventually amazing things will happen.
Regarding #2 - I definitely feel that one. I would tell people to break down whatever you want to do into small pieces or steps, and if you're still not doing that, to just simply break down those steps into even smaller steps and eventually you can do the small things and go from there.
I really like that these videos are well-credited, well organized, and well-presented. I've seen a lot of comments about how this content is repetitive, but I have been watching for years and I'm still learning a lot from these, and honestly, I'm glad these messages are reinforced, and updated with the latest publications, so I can try and continue to be consistent.
As I'm on my 20s there are alot of times where i wonder why I'm not discipline.. instead of structuring my system which after watching the video made me realise the wrong things that I'm doing which is shallow work..😊 thank you so much Ali this insights will truly help me be more productive and discipline towards my goal
I can relate on always finding the "right" tool/productivity app, and end up not doing anything that contributes to my life goals. Thank you for this content, Ali! Always valuable.
Hey Ali, I love watching your videos every morning when I make breakfast. Such a great way to start off the day and feel motivated ✨it gives me courage to keep posting videos despite my small (but growing) following!
I quit my Big Four job about a month ago and I have experienced what Ali went through when he left medicine. This video means so much to me because a flexible routine will work much better for me now 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Omg, I literally can't believe how much this helped me - the bit about when you explained about the playstation personality etc and trying to have a balance of different parts of your character. Thanks!
Hi, I just want to say Thank You for every inspiring video you post in you YT channel. After watching your videos, I have started become more productive and my dopamine has increased. Keep inspiring and motivating.
Thanks for sharing the ideas on higher/lower self and your example of how to "talk to" the lower self (in my case: read-stories-and-snack-for-hours-self). I'll try to implement the negotiating an compromised idea to the lower self next time!
Hidden Time Wealth is so unique. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about it sooner. It’s amazing how life-changing this can be for anyone battling procrastination.
I'm watching this at 5 in the morning (no i did not just wake up) and i am very grateful for this and a couple other vids of ali and another couple of vids from different creators that I've watched in my late night binge at the start of journey to being a better functioning human. Hopefully someone replies to this a year or 10 later when I'm actually better. 🤞🏻
I’ve been having trouble finishing my capstone mostly because I’m being a perfectionist and I feel like people are going to be disappointed no matter what I do. This video really helped me, thank you!
Awesome advice Ali. Your videos are always gold! Learned a ton from your organization, studying, and RUclips growth videos. One thing that’s helped me a lot with discipline if to set small “nudges” around my work or home to remind me of my goals. Even something like phone wallpaper 🙂
i wish these videos could be made into a separate podcast/ audio series so i can listen to this through the day - extremely helpful and wise tips thank you!
Hearing that you count 15 mins in the gym as 1 session is really reassuring, Ali. I'm having trouble ticking workout/movement off in my tracker for the day unless I do it for 60 mins. 😅
Thank you so much! Consistency in crucial! I make my own videos for RUclips and sometimes I’m on the verge of giving up. That was extremely important for me to hear “Don’t quit”. Thanks a lot
I found that it is hard for me to start a new thing. I just tell myself 'Have a break.' With time going by, I finish nothing finally and regret myself. From this video, I know that I can do it in a small step, even making mistakes. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. It is normal.
Truly, as someone who struggled with trauma et al for nearly 30yrs, I have been doing IFS Parts Therapy for not yet a year and it is AMAZING. Total reframe. Highly recommend, and despite all the introspection and healing and growth I had tried to do by myself and with other counsellors, I did not know this existed until I found this therapist and that was her method of work.
So nice to hear you're like everyone else. You still have your falls.😢Great to hear from someone who is successful interview other successful people with similar démons
Ali, I just wanna say, Thank You 😢 It has helped me a lot. Just finished watching it, will be commenting again after a month of getting into discipline. ❤
Thank you so much Ali. I am the old person who had commented on one of your video and never expected you to create this video. Thanks for the video with lots of love
I really relate to point four! I was a lot more disciplined when I had a full time job and have been struggling with motivation and have had no proper routine! Glad I am not the only one and looking forward to setting some structure to my life :)
Great video. Thanks Ali. I particularly like the bit about having the different characters inside of us like Inside Out and not trying to put some our of the way in a corner of your mind. They all have a say and you need to acknowledge them.
It's my 65 th day without using any social media apps and i am very happy and satisfied with that decision because i became a lot more productive. Continuously following my daily routine using Gcalender method. This all because of your video tysm for guiding us with these precious content❤.
Such a refreshing and heartening video. Thanks Ali for bringing your educated yet always relatable perspective on these topics. It really feels like a breath of fresh air amidst all the overwhelming advice out there from people like Iman Gadzhi (or Adrià Solà Pastor in the Spanish-speaking community). Not that there is no truth in what they say, for sure there is, but watching too much of their content consistently makes me feel hopeless and ashamed, while your video gave me a sense that progress is achievable and valuable. Believe it or not, I had never commented on a RUclips video until today.
What a great video! I love the relaxing music on the background too, I put immense pressure on myself to be more productive, and like you said, i take on too much stuff! This helps destress me in order to work on what's important!
Ah, being "strategically mediocre" in most things is exactly what I've been working on this year. It sounds so bad, but I just need the time back for higher impact projects!
Is it just me or Ali had reduced his speaking speed? Whatever it is always loved your content Ali. Thanks for sharing such wonderful and thoughtful videos.
Great insights on discipline, especially the part about the Lower and higher Self. Entrepreneurs can apply this by recognizing when they're operating from a place of instant gratification and instead focusing on long-term value creation, which often requires delayed gratification and strategic planning.
According to the video, it is about 5 actionable tips for self-discipline learned from Ryan Holiday, a bestselling author. The first tip is to focus on a few things. The speaker says that it is difficult to be disciplined if you are trying to do too many things. He recommends limiting yourself to 3-4 goals per year. The second tip is to identify your main thing. The speaker says that it is important to identify what is most important to you in life and focus on that. This will help you to avoid getting overwhelmed by all of the things that you could be doing. The third tip is to create a system and stick to it. The speaker says that it is important to find a system that works for you and then stick to it. This will help you to reduce the amount of decision-making that you have to do on a daily basis. The fourth tip is to be flexible with your system. The speaker says that it is important to be flexible with your system so that you can stick to it in the long term. For example, you might have a goal of working out three times a week, but you might allow yourself to skip a workout if you are not feeling well. The fifth tip is to don't quit. The speaker says that the most important thing is to stick with your system and not give up. He says that if you can stick with something for long enough, you will eventually be successful.
You're amazing in your perspective and UNDERSTANDING to what holds someone back from reaching their potential. I'm very motivated and disciplined meditationally, but now I need to bring that into my financial well being. Go slow and figure it out organically. Thank you for the reminder to do less.
Such mind opening points Ali, I feel it's been my whole life that I have been struggling with discipline and consistency and everytime as you also mentioned we try to find that new/better path to sort of fix or make it better in place of just doing the easier thing which is sticking to that one thing and not switching. Thank you for this video... it really felt as if it was made for me.
The way Hidden Time Wealth dives into the concept of productivity is mind-blowing. Hidden Time Wealth tips are pure gold, and I wish more people knew about them.
- discipline doing something you don’t want to - not rolling the boulder up but down - whats the main thing essentialism someone doing things and having fun vs someone doing things and being miserable strategically mediocre at some things eliminates DO LESS NOT MORE 3 goals for whole year Inconsistent and large vs large and consistent If I only 2 hours what would I do 4 hours 8 hours - just do that - do less and tiny things no matter how motivated you are raise bar slowlt - middle ground listen to low self high self - routine being doctor vs other times doing less work GO OUTSIDE - Costco go - Plan A Plan B Plan C - just walk down consistent and some days not every day - stick to the system thing should feel good -
Recently found your channel and I really appreciate your calm, practical and 'non-hyped' approach to these topics. Tired of all the 'bros' telling us what to do xP
Thank you so much for your videos. They've been a lifesaver for my ADHD brain. I don't take meds because I had very bad experiences with being prescribed wrong meds as a child and so I try to manage on my own. Its so hard not to feel like a failure sometimes when I feel absolutely stuck between all the millions of things on my to do list. Your videos have not only given me the tools to start building self discipline, but also have made me feel so much better about the times that I still feel stuck and need to just take a mental break. So anyways, you are very appreciated!
1.) Know your main thing and focus on fewer things. We often struggle with discipline because we try to do too many things. Limit yourself to 3-4 major goals and focus your time on what matters most. 2.) Aim for progress, not immediate success. Becoming disciplined takes time - compare yourself to where you started, not experts. Lower the bar enough that you can take action consistently, then slowly raise it over time. The key is doing the process repeatedly to learn to trust it. 3.) Acknowledge the tension between your "higher self" and "lower self." Don't just shut down your lower impulses, but find a way to hear and integrate the different parts of yourself to find a balanced approach you can sustain. 4.) Establish a flexible routine. Having some structure enables discipline, but being too rigid makes it unsustainable. Find the sweet spot by using general principles (e.g. do deep work before shallow work) vs strict schedules. Have A, B, C goal levels so you can adapt when life interferes. 5.) Stick to your system, don't constantly switch. Changing methods frequently undermines discipline. Pick one approach and do it repeatedly - the consistency is more important than finding the "perfect" system. Avoid distraction and stay the course.
Great video Ali. Thank you for putting this together. The one thing that I am going to be working on is “taking on less things” as I take one too much. It is hard but I have to do this to do the essential things.
🤩✨️✨️✨️✨️🦄🤍 feel so good and excited after watching you content. Like truly feel hopeful that it's not impossible just, we need to follow the right steps. Thank you for making it simple to digest. Appreciate it! 🎉🙏🏽
Discipline motivation etc I believe that everyone will get to those moments of realization when it's time for them to finally learn and digest the lessons and purpose of their lives . It's a moment that's a fraction of a sec when everything makes sense and there u are Disciplined and fullfilled like never before .

1. figure out what your priority is, the most important tasks. instead of doing too much, become concise (3-4) on your goals. if i only had 2 hours a week what would i do?
2. focus on progress
3. bargain with yourself about what you want to do what you should do
4. have a flexible routine
5. just pick a thing. it is easy to doubt yourself over what youre doing but instead of overthinking something just stick to one thing for a long enough time

As a growing 18 years old teen. You are one of The RUclips Mentors that I'm learning from.
Yay 🎉 I wish I had Ali when I was 18. I’m 33 now. Glad you’ve found him to learn from.
Can you list a few more content creators like ali (mentors you are learning from)
Hamza Ahmed for masculinity and mental health.
Iman Gadzhi and Alex Hamozi for money and business.
brother, Join Adonis Gang made by Hamza.
You can find the link in some of his videos.
That's where we young men help either other and give advices.
You can ask questions there.
@@nonpoppinchannel1930 thanks bro, I've just checked it out (I mean the guy hamza) and I must say he has got something right at so many f***ing levels.
Not yet sure about adonis school it's 129$ so I need a lil more insight but primarily I feel it's worth buying.
I really like that these videos are well-credited, well organized, and well-presented. I've seen a lot of comments about how this content is repetitive, but I have been watching for years and I'm still learning a lot from these, and honestly, I'm glad these messages are reinforced, and updated with the latest publications, so I can try and continue to be consistent.
Well said!
Fully agree! These lessons need to be heard repeatedly to stick, at least for me ❤
People fail to understand that it is repetition, routine and consistency that get you forward. It's borinng but it works. All successful people have some sort of routine they use.
I actually stopped this video midway and started doing what I’d been procrastinating all day.
Then you came back to finish it, right?
Awesome 🕶
Damn boy that’s deep. 🔥
This video reminded me of the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad " the best deeds are those that are most consistent even if it's small. "
Amazing reminder, thank you!

Hey Ali, you may want to research the sponsor. Better help has been involved in numerous scandals and shady business practices that are quite documented for years now. They also don't guarantee that the person you're being given therapy by is licensed either. As well as make it extremely difficult to discontinue their "service". Please up vote so he can see this.
Me recomiendas un sitio web seguro por favor
The “family” bit where you are talking to “video game Ali” makes me think you’re going to be a GREAT dad Ali. Congratulations to you and Izzy!!!
Every week I struggle to stick to my budget and make disciplined financial decisions. It's like I always find myself spending more than I should.
I totally get it. It's tough to stay disciplined, especially when it comes to finances. I've been there, and sometimes it feels like I'm just spinning my wheels.
Yeah, discipline is key, especially in the financial aspect. I've found that setting clear goals and tracking my expenses really helps keep me on track.
That's a good point. I've been trying to budget and stick to it, but it's hard. Even to lnvest
Well for me one thing that helped me was getting a good and relaible finànce advisor. Someone who would grow my portfolio. I started 2 years ago with this man..
His name is Eric Paul Elmer
What was said in the Progress Not Immediate Success section was a good reminder about my lack of patience. My obsession with achieving results in a short time is a frequent topic in my conversations with my psychologist.
Great video!
Sounds familiar
When you said you are doing too many things at a time, you spoke to me.
For a very long time, I thought I was going crazy when I couldn’t just get myself to do anything but watching this video and also doing more research I realised that the reason I couldn’t be disciplined with myself was because I was doing too many things at the same time.
Thanks Ali you are a real one ❤️

I couldn't agree with this more - "getting yourself to do something that you don't feel like doing" - this is life. If you push through then eventually amazing things will happen.
Yes I agree with this cause when I did what I hate I get what I want 😊
Love that I can come back to these videos to remind myself of these tiny important things.
You're doing good work broski. Keep it up!

Such a refreshing and heartening video. Thanks Ali for bringing your educated yet always relatable perspective on these topics. It really feels like a breath of fresh air amidst all the overwhelming advice out there from people like Iman Gadzhi (or Adrià Solà Pastor in the Spanish-speaking community). Not that there is no truth in what they say, for sure there is, but watching too much of their content consistently makes me feel hopeless and ashamed, while your video gave me a sense that progress is achievable and valuable. Believe it or not, I had never commented on a RUclips video until today.
What a great video! I love the relaxing music on the background too, I put immense pressure on myself to be more productive, and like you said, i take on too much stuff! This helps destress me in order to work on what's important!
Hey Ali, could you tell us how to get out of the comfort zones through a video?
And thanks for empowering us everyday ❤❤
The process of doing something over and over again day over day
Ah, being "strategically mediocre" in most things is exactly what I've been working on this year. It sounds so bad, but I just need the time back for higher impact projects!
Is it just me or Ali had reduced his speaking speed? Whatever it is always loved your content Ali. Thanks for sharing such wonderful and thoughtful videos.
He looks drained or something, guessing he's out of caffeine
Great insights on discipline, especially the part about the Lower and higher Self. Entrepreneurs can apply this by recognizing when they're operating from a place of instant gratification and instead focusing on long-term value creation, which often requires delayed gratification and strategic planning.
I've never checked how much is left for your videos end! cuz i never wanted them to!❤🔥
Thank Ali Abdaal for hindi version
According to the video, it is about 5 actionable tips for self-discipline learned from Ryan Holiday, a bestselling author.
The first tip is to focus on a few things. The speaker says that it is difficult to be disciplined if you are trying to do too many things. He recommends limiting yourself to 3-4 goals per year.
The second tip is to identify your main thing. The speaker says that it is important to identify what is most important to you in life and focus on that. This will help you to avoid getting overwhelmed by all of the things that you could be doing.
The third tip is to create a system and stick to it. The speaker says that it is important to find a system that works for you and then stick to it. This will help you to reduce the amount of decision-making that you have to do on a daily basis.
The fourth tip is to be flexible with your system. The speaker says that it is important to be flexible with your system so that you can stick to it in the long term. For example, you might have a goal of working out three times a week, but you might allow yourself to skip a workout if you are not feeling well.
The fifth tip is to don't quit. The speaker says that the most important thing is to stick with your system and not give up. He says that if you can stick with something for long enough, you will eventually be successful.
I asked for your book for my bday :) can't wait to read it, your videos are like life changing !

I wish you all the best and happiness Ali ❤

You're amazing in your perspective and UNDERSTANDING to what holds someone back from reaching their potential. I'm very motivated and disciplined meditationally, but now I need to bring that into my financial well being. Go slow and figure it out organically. Thank you for the reminder to do less.
Please always post more videos translated into Arabic because we really enjoy watching ❤
Wow so glad I found your channel this video was so eloquent, insightful and scrupulously created! Well done and thank you.
Such mind opening points Ali, I feel it's been my whole life that I have been struggling with discipline and consistency and everytime as you also mentioned we try to find that new/better path to sort of fix or make it better in place of just doing the easier thing which is sticking to that one thing and not switching. Thank you for this video... it really felt as if it was made for me.

Recently found your channel and I really appreciate your calm, practical and 'non-hyped' approach to these topics. Tired of all the 'bros' telling us what to do xP
Thank you so much for your videos. They've been a lifesaver for my ADHD brain. I don't take meds because I had very bad experiences with being prescribed wrong meds as a child and so I try to manage on my own. Its so hard not to feel like a failure sometimes when I feel absolutely stuck between all the millions of things on my to do list. Your videos have not only given me the tools to start building self discipline, but also have made me feel so much better about the times that I still feel stuck and need to just take a mental break. So anyways, you are very appreciated!
1.) Know your main thing and focus on fewer things. We often struggle with discipline because we try to do too many things. Limit yourself to 3-4 major goals and focus your time on what matters most.
2.) Aim for progress, not immediate success. Becoming disciplined takes time - compare yourself to where you started, not experts. Lower the bar enough that you can take action consistently, then slowly raise it over time. The key is doing the process repeatedly to learn to trust it.
3.) Acknowledge the tension between your "higher self" and "lower self." Don't just shut down your lower impulses, but find a way to hear and integrate the different parts of yourself to find a balanced approach you can sustain.
4.) Establish a flexible routine. Having some structure enables discipline, but being too rigid makes it unsustainable. Find the sweet spot by using general principles (e.g. do deep work before shallow work) vs strict schedules. Have A, B, C goal levels so you can adapt when life interferes.
5.) Stick to your system, don't constantly switch. Changing methods frequently undermines discipline. Pick one approach and do it repeatedly - the consistency is more important than finding the "perfect" system. Avoid distraction and stay the course.
Great video Ali. Thank you for putting this together. The one thing that I am going to be working on is “taking on less things” as I take one too much. It is hard but I have to do this to do the essential things.
🤩✨️✨️✨️✨️🦄🤍 feel so good and excited after watching you content. Like truly feel hopeful that it's not impossible just, we need to follow the right steps. Thank you for making it simple to digest.
Appreciate it! 🎉🙏🏽
Thank you so much, I really needed this rn for myself and also for the school presentation I am doing on self discipline 😁
Setting a goal and know why you want to achieve that goal can go a long way setting up discipline every time you want to work towards that goal.
Discipline motivation etc I believe that everyone will get to those moments of realization when it's time for them to finally learn and digest the lessons and purpose of their lives .
It's a moment that's a fraction of a sec when everything makes sense and there u are Disciplined and fullfilled like never before .
Okay, so I've stopped the video and I'm now going to get on with what I should have been doing. Thanks for the tip, Ali.
I loved this video! Thank you so much for all the amazing content, Ali!
I loved this video. I’m surely coming back to it
