Lots of people have been enjoying my new book Feel-Good Productivity to improve their overall productivity and do more of what matters to them. If you'd like a copy check it out here! go.feelgoodproductivity.com/timevid2.
I always like all your video Ali, I wanted you to make a video on STUDYING IN ABROAD cuz there are lot of people who are going out for studies but still suffering after wasting lot of money still not getting jobs, some are suffering for VISA programs as well as loneliness and depression. Maximum of my friends went out for higher studies cuz there are lot filters in out country to get a good job and get married soon. I watched all your videos thought I wish I could have a life like you but I feel it's not easy for everyone being from middle class family spending so much and not getting at least a decent job. I wanted you to make a genuine video on studying in abroad and getting a job. What a people can do by just building his skills without wasting money a lot to agents and studies in abroad. 😀
There's a book called Hidden Time Wealth, and it talks about how using some secret techniques, you can overcome procrastination and accomplish anything in life. It's not just a bunch of empty promises; it's the real deal.
Damn, I really hate being lazy. What a terrible way to live, I have truly squandered my life thus far. That said, I WILL overcome and succeed, and you will too my friends.
Live your life the way you want. Don't let productivity gurus shame you. Whether you're hyper productive or super chill, it all ends the same. You'll regret the path not taken no matter what you do. So don't worry so much and you do you.
Great video. I think the most important point is avoiding overwhelm and task-induced anxiety due to overloading our brains with things that aren’t actually helping us grow. There needs to be a conscious focus on where we want to be going and on what we actually enjoy.
As a student I'd highly recommend meal prepping as a way to save yourself tonnes of time during the week. By meal prepping I don't mean making boxes of boring chicken and rice. I cook a massive chicken curry during the weekend which takes about 2 hours and divide it into containers. I freeze about half and refrigerate the other half. It will last me about a fortnight and tastes great, mix with some tildas or uncle bens rice to make it last even longer.
That sound like a good idea for me though I most make buns or dumplings cause it takes less time and eat it like a snack while studying to save more time
I’m the campus dietitian at our school’s health center and I love this guidance. Some of the students have challenges with this, so we’ve redefined how meal planning can fit in their routines by asking them to have an idea of where, when, and what they could eat during class days. 💚
@@HomeWorkouts_LS I have a very boring diet tbh, I basically eat the same breakfast and dinner everyday and change lunches. The curry I will eat every day for 2 weeks for dinner, and then make it again and continue the cycle. Lunch will also be meal prepped but I have some more variation in that. I've learnt its a sacrifice worth taking. If I'm not thinking about and planning my meals everyday I've saved that mental energy and time to devote to other more important and fulfilling tasks.
I can totally relate! It's been 7 years that I didn't have TV and haven't watched the news and I don't feel like I missed anything! I also hire someone to do the laundry and clean the house 2x a week I work from home and I have 2 little kids. Thank you fir this video! You have inspired me to create my own RUclips channel! And that is my biggest procrastination at the moment!
I really like this format where you break the deep dive down into shorter related videos! Because I often watch you or listen to you in those between times or when I’m doing things that are not otherwise productive, and those things often come in 10 or 15 minutes intervals. Thanks for your continued great content. Enjoyed your book!
I love that you added the news and tv into this videos. I think the older generation is so judgemental towards people who use social media as a distraction for life, but they constantly watch tv and read newspapers etc etc. I agree with what you said about the news: it isn't intentional and informative anymore.
Suggestions for chores Chores = audiobook time. Chores = prayer time. Chores = jobs delegated to the children so they can learn responsibilities. Chores = jobs you can do with your kids, making the jobs a bit more fun.
Every time I see one of your videos I get extremely motivated to work my life and get actual work done, this motivation continues for the next 4-5 days and then it washes off, but the good thing there is always another video to watch. Please don’t stop uploading videos my productivity depends on you 😬

Ali, you're one of the very few channels where I don't feel like I am wasting my time and you inspire me. Thank you. Will order your book soon :)

And like with the Goldrush, The ones who make money out of this are the ones who sell the "shovels and pickaxes".

You can still search explicitly for things you are interested in or go to the channels you subbed, but you won't be urged to click on that catchy "top 10 ways to open a beer" (I just made that up, but I could imagine it exists) video on your starting page. The recommendations next to the videoplayer will also stay rather clear of things like that, if you are watching educational content at the moment for example.
Nice one. An additional benefit of this trick is since there aren't tailored recommendations anymore, it will not bloat your "watch later" list, which probably many people won't watch anyway
I would like to try that, but if you turn it back on will it remember the stuff that you like? Cause I totally see your point, but I'm trying to follow a lot of different channels (artist mostly) at a time, so it's kind of good when it shoves up a random new video from someone I totally forgot to check on, if you know what I mean.
Hi, Ali .. I subscribed to your channel last year, wish I had known it earlier... I tried your study tips methods and I went from 3.5 to 3.78 in my GPA... I already have deleted all the social apps to focus Thanks, a lot dr Ali ... keep healthy and save
Ohh woo , how get you achieve form 3.5to 3.78 😮 tell me some beneficial tip's bcz im now addicted social media hence what's app, RUclips spend more & more time especially in my exams study day's 😢 how can i rid from this addiction and how can i only focus on my study any advice 🥺
@KiranShahzadi-js7yk It's about your goal if you have a goal to achieve this is the first step .. what do you want to achieve by the end of the year put it In a list in front of your eyes and remember social media still exists through your holiday but grades and exam is not... I also don't push myself I put a list of the lectures I have to finish in a day and try to finish them early in my focusing mode from 5 am to 6 pm and take a rest the 4 h left .. sorry for the long of it .. hope it's beneficial for u
Honestly Ali is such a big motivation for me and has always created great videos for me to try some new "experiments" and break my bad habits. I really appreciate you Ali!
Excellent video! What prevents people from achieving success is that they do not complete enough high value activities at an productive level on a daily basis. Our days get distracted and wasted so easily that the days just slip away. The challenge is not just staying focused but knowing: 1. What are your highest level activity you can achieve each day? 2. What process do you have for remembering these activities during the day? 3. How do you attain a level of mastery in these activities that you can perform them well? 4. You have the physical/mental energy to perform these activities along with the strong motivation/dedication. If you can answer the questions above and perform the required task you will be successful over time.
Али, I find your videos quite helpful 🩵 Thank you. I am 41 going through emotional physical exhaustion. When I hear you saying using time wisely it makes me sad. I feel I am wasting it big time because I simply can’t do stuff more like I used to. Yet keep watching your videos
I reviewed the channel how money works and in one of the videos the cult of productivity, it shows us the obsession of some youtubers talking about productivity, one of them is ali abdaal. and in the video about how trying to be more productive often ends up being worse.
I think this is a bot comment. I remember seeing the exact same comment in another channel, except it was that channel's name instead of "Ali Abdaal". It's trying to promote the other two channels.
This video delivers essential tips to prevent wasting precious time and missing out on life's opportunities. The advice is practical, actionable, and serves as a wake-up call for those unintentionally falling into unproductive habits. A must-watch for anyone looking to make the most of their time and prioritize meaningful pursuits.
I agree with everything you mentioned but the Chores! You could be like "let me order food because my time is more valuable and I should not be spending it cooking", but you end up eating order ins which is definitely not good for you. Cleaning could also be looked at a kind of therapy, where your brain is not doing anything and could breath for a second.
Remember not everyone can feel that way about Cleaning. I personally don't relax all when i clean, and especially vacuuming can really ruin my mood for some reason. Would much rather spend that time doing something that would let my mind relax. But yeah everyone is different.
I stopped watching TV when I was 14 but it was because I hated telenovelas😂😂😂. As I grew older, I just noticed it was one of my best decisions ever made.
Hi Ali, can you please make a video on what to do about toxicity and if we are jealous of someone’s success and achievements. I am holding on to a lot of resentment. And also I 100% agree with social media. Because it has ruined my life in a lot of ways.
I learned a lot from this video and was taking my notes on pen and paper very deliberately. From now on I will not scroll on RUclips, I will only use RUclips if I have a question like how I found this video. Also thanks for the ideas as well I took from my note pad thank you you really inspired me I’m 16 in highschool and I have dreams and goals to be proud and rich. Thank you again for teaching me how much “Time” is important
I've been doing the first 3 for a while now and those have been saving so much time for me. As per chores.... That's when i really relax. I love.... Cooking in silence. Still working on the final point. Has been a caveat of time blocking for me which I'm trying to work around now. Thank you for this.
Another great masterpiece video, Ali. One more challenge is when we come back from 9 to 5 job and if we get some time we open a laptop and do more work and get extended. How to restrict 9 to 5 job to 9 to 5 will be a good topic for this series to make a video about. Thank you for your videos, it feels like we have a life-changing idea.
Agree with the overall messaging and intention of your video! But I think you’re also not addressing the issue of over-optimizing and being constantly in the “ON” mode. Speaking about my personal experience, I love learning new things, watching long-form thoughtful content on RUclips, reading a textbook or a sci fi novel after dinner. But sometimes I don’t want to fill every second of my life with things that are productive, educational, “good” for me - I’ve found that it leads to eventual burn out. Those 17 minutes before the next meeting, I can do any deep work anyway, so why not do the chores? I also learned to enjoy doing the house chores and cleaning and cooking, sometimes with a podcast on, sometimes quietly. I there’s a lot of power in letting your mind wonder, let it be “bored” a little, let it not be productive. It might have immense benefits in the long term.
I agree. My 17 minutes honestly would actually help me be on time. I sometimes under estimate the time it took me to do stuff. Then I'm just cutting close to running late. What I used to do was just give myself a bit too much time. If then I have say 17 or 10 minutes that I'm still early I can always dump emails or play a game . I usually do have a RUclips video I listen to while cooking. If you get ads on a show you're watching you can use that time to organize, clean or grab a drink .
Ali just asking : do you think at this point that you are too regimental in being productive and missing out on actually living? Could you share what do you do for fun without being productive about it or your love life? How does your partner feel on these productive discipline ? I’d like a more overall practical picture for the real world for someone with a job, partner and a child?
love your videos. you call out on all the lazy things that we all do and show us how what you're saying totally makes sense. I really wish I had a teacher like you in School and college.
9:40 This is the rule or a theory i got in my mind from my childhood that money and time are inversely promotional to each other Spend No money = waste more time Spend money = no time waste 😊
Hey Ali ! Great video as are most of your others. I have been implementing all these recommendations for years and the outcomes have been exponential. What's left to master is overthinking Existential questions and turning all the efficiency into tangible monetary gain. You're an inspiration with this sentiment coming all the way from Malaysia.
such simple, obvious, but useful tips! thanks for this video. I already installed the "1 sec" app and went to look for the "someday is today" book I really liked the idea of Spare Minutes. it changes a lot
Dude, One Sec is a game changer!!! Thank you so much for the recommendation! And the home screen thing, I already do that and it’s so usefulll. Out of sight out of mind.
It’s surprising how much simply removing apps from view helps with the temptation. I put a ‘useful’ app in place too so when muscle memory kicks in I’ve found myself in an app that actually benefits me
Ali, I also wanted to share that I was a US resident and I had to quit medicine because I got anxiety and panic attack because of the ridiculous work hours and stress, gas lighting. I am now healing and finding my way back to a healthful and new life. I love your channel. ❤
Love all your tips! I will implement the ones relating to limiting screen time. Your explanation helps me to understand my dopamine issue better. Where chores are concerned, my time cost per hour isn't high enough to justify hiring a cleaner and I often find that cleaners don't always deliver on total cleanliness LOL. What I do find important when it comes to only spending as little time as necessary on chores is to simplify them and my surroundings so that things get done swiftly with minimal effort. Minimalism is key for fast cleaning because getting around the clutter takes time and effort. Having little systems/hacks to streamline chores really help too. (Example: place large piece of paper underneath chopping board and push peelings etc on to the paper. Then wrap up and discard) Lastly, just keeping clean and tidy as one goes.
I disaggree with the "Spare of the minutes", because there's a thing called "The switching cost". Many studies are showing that, at least, it costs us, as humans, 25 minutes to deeply focus on a task. And, if we switch suddenly to another, it will cost us another 25 minutes to make significant progress in that particular task. But I get the point. I'll try to recover those minutes.
This is my business acciunt, but I can see that this also teaches me make my time is equal to money. Thank you for telling me that chores isn't necessary all the time. Maybe chores once a week.
I’ve also thought about implementing a no tv alone rule 👀 i think it also makes sense because you share the story with someone else, so it gives you something to talk about.. when you watch it on your own then it can be kind of an isolating experience when you have noone to talk about it (which is likely nowadays because there is just too many options)
I started the habit of not watching TV during ramadan & yes: it frees a lot of time for everything else. I still go to movies with friends though as I realized that's something I adore, and now have no TV in the house to offset the time spent in cinemas.
“Brilliant is truly brilliant! It’s going to be my secret weapon for acing my upcoming exams. With its practical examples, it makes learning less of an academic chore and more of an engaging experience.
I’m a fan of your work Ali…you are truly an avid reader and capture tiny details of living productive life …those quick wisdoms surely save our time from going that path and figuring out on our own…however I tend to disagree on not to watch TV…those who are already busy active they comeback home only during those hours they have access to TV…rest of the day outside they have a constant companion called cell phone which carries all the distractions that we need to worry about….even when back home the phone is always there so typically 16-17 waking hours we are exposed to distractions it’s a matter of thumb pressing on that app or avoiding….while TV accessible only 4-5 waking hours that too you can switch off as you don’t carry everywhere like cellphones with you…
it‘s about understanding yourself, not about pressuring. life isn‘t waisted, if you enjoy it. there is no need to be productive, but there is a need for love. love yourself/be good to yourself and you will suceed.
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.
This video is spot on. Exactly what I needed to hear. No tv for over a year now, definitely a game changer. Now I am saying bye-bye social media from my phone. Thank you and your team for all the amazing content, always get really motivated after watching your videos or listening to a podcasts.
camera Hello Ali, I am from Bolivia oruro and right now I am using a translator to speak and I just wanted to tell you that please continue translating, this video helped me a lot.❤❤
At 10:23 on “how much it is worth to you to be able to spend those two hours:” The it and is, is backwards. It should be “how much is it worth to you to be able to spend those two hours:”
I do all but the housecleaning idea and they’ve all made such a massive difference, but now that I work outside home full time again, I’ve been thinking about hiring a house cleaner. At least for me as an American, I feel like so many of us think we have to be independent and do it all and personally I hate spending money on something I could do. In little ways I’ve been learning that I can save time by spending money, but have been on the edge of looking at house cleaning. But it’s also become such a point of contention with my husband and I because neither of us have the time and energy to keep it up, it will probably be worth the money. That’ll be my goal today. Research house cleaning companies and try one out. I can always stop if I don’t like it.
very relatable. I've uninstalled most of my social media apps. It eats most of my time. I've paid for the laundry, which is once a month, instead of doing it and takes 2-3 hrs. Thank you for this. ^_^
The quality of your videos has gone up exponentially, not to say they were bad a few years ago. You make really insightful content that is so enjoyable to watch. Keep it up Ali😄
Exploring evidence-backed methods to enhance productivity and happiness is truly enlightening. Your channel is a beacon of wisdom in a sea of information overload!
Great video! One thought on the subject of television: I actually watch quite a lot of TV, but only in the evenings when my energy levels are low. After working all day and doing sports, I can't do anything productive anymore that requires a lot of attention and concentration. I'm fully aware that watching TV doesn't help me in any way, but I just can't do anything "useful" in the evening because I'm too tired. 🤷
This is my second comment because I just wanted to say I watched it all, and I really love your last point as well. Every second literally does count, and I found myself. Forgetting that the in-between times can also be used for intentional actions or rest as you say.
I love keeping up with my favorite shows, but find it to be a time drain. to keep up with my friends in talking about the latest shows, i now overlap TV time with my laundry folding time -- which has been huge! thanks for these tips
I never thought subliminals could make such a huge difference in overcoming addiction, but Borlest proved me wrong. After a couple of weeks, I felt a massive shift in my mindset. If you’re stuck in a cycle, this could be the solution. You’ve got nothing to lose.
I've stopped complaining and worrying about life that much. It's obviously hard for everyone. I wanted to start a RUclips channel and I'm still learning and experimenting stuff but hope I find my gang soon. 😌✌️
Hi Ali! Thank you for your videos! Do you have any videos about how to pick up the content? How to filter the incoming information? How to create your “content field”, that will bring you quality information and joy rather than just wasting time? Would absolutely love to hear your thoughts about that.
People always ask me how I can read almost 200 books a year - I cut out watching shows. We got rid of the TV years ago and for me reading books brings me joy. Now, if there's a show I want to watch I make sure I really want to watch it, often I pick reading over the show.
Chores: totally! I delegated cleaning to a professional cleaner. But you don't talk about how to deal with the other chores: shopping, making lists for shopping, cooking, returning parcels, life admin... I need tips for these too lol
If I limit my social media usage to only 30 minutes a day, I believe I will have more time for other activities. 🤔📱 Thank you, Sir. It's great to see you from India. 🇮🇳👀 I will read your book after my exams are over in March. 📚👨🎓
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.

We can always make more money but we can never make more time." So true!💯
But in order to make more money, you *surprise* need more time
^ this is what's wrong with this channel.
Every minute counts.
This is not true for a lot of people and a very ignorant and entitled statement.

That’s a trap lol
Exactly what @Dondillilochevrolet says. There is a lot of money to be made in the self help industry. And like with the Goldrush, The ones who make money out of this are the ones who sell the "shovels and pickaxes". And although he is right about a lot of stuff, Ali is good in selling those shovels and pickaxes.
I listen to RUclips more than I watch. While listening I can move around and do stuff.

The recommendations next to the videoplayer will also stay rather clear of things like that, if you are watching educational content at the moment for example.

Ohh woo , how get you achieve form 3.5to 3.78 😮 tell me some beneficial tip's bcz im now addicted social media hence what's app, RUclips spend more & more time especially in my exams study day's 😢 how can i rid from this addiction and how can i only focus on my study any advice 🥺
@KiranShahzadi-js7yk It's about your goal if you have a goal to achieve this is the first step .. what do you want to achieve by the end of the year put it In a list in front of your eyes and remember social media still exists through your holiday but grades and exam is not... I also don't push myself I put a list of the lectures I have to finish in a day and try to finish them early in my focusing mode from 5 am to 6 pm and take a rest the 4 h left .. sorry for the long of it .. hope it's beneficial for u
Honestly Ali is such a big motivation for me and has always created great videos for me to try some new "experiments" and break my bad habits. I really appreciate you Ali!
Excellent video! What prevents people from achieving success is that they do not complete enough high value activities at an productive level on a daily basis. Our days get distracted and wasted so easily that the days just slip away. The challenge is not just staying focused but knowing:
1. What are your highest level activity you can achieve each day?
2. What process do you have for remembering these activities during the day?
3. How do you attain a level of mastery in these activities that you can perform them well?
4. You have the physical/mental energy to perform these activities along with the strong motivation/dedication.
If you can answer the questions above and perform the required task you will be successful over time.
Али, I find your videos quite helpful 🩵 Thank you. I am 41 going through emotional physical exhaustion. When I hear you saying using time wisely it makes me sad. I feel I am wasting it big time because I simply can’t do stuff more like I used to. Yet keep watching your videos
My three favorite channels: Ali Abdaal, Stock Brotha, & How Money Works. Make my week complete! 🔥 🔥 🔥
Thanks for sharing I am always looking for suggestions based on creators I like. This was really helpful to me
I reviewed the channel how money works and in one of the videos the cult of productivity, it shows us the obsession of some youtubers talking about productivity, one of them is ali abdaal. and in the video about how trying to be more productive often ends up being worse.
I think this is a bot comment. I remember seeing the exact same comment in another channel, except it was that channel's name instead of "Ali Abdaal". It's trying to promote the other two channels.
Thank you for the recommendations. I am impressed.
This video delivers essential tips to prevent wasting precious time and missing out on life's opportunities. The advice is practical, actionable, and serves as a wake-up call for those unintentionally falling into unproductive habits. A must-watch for anyone looking to make the most of their time and prioritize meaningful pursuits.
No clutter and BS, straight to the point with stuff you can actually put into practice.. Well done..
I agree with everything you mentioned but the Chores! You could be like "let me order food because my time is more valuable and I should not be spending it cooking", but you end up eating order ins which is definitely not good for you. Cleaning could also be looked at a kind of therapy, where your brain is not doing anything and could breath for a second.
Remember not everyone can feel that way about Cleaning. I personally don't relax all when i clean, and especially vacuuming can really ruin my mood for some reason. Would much rather spend that time doing something that would let my mind relax. But yeah everyone is different.
I stopped watching TV when I was 14 but it was because I hated telenovelas😂😂😂. As I grew older, I just noticed it was one of my best decisions ever made.
The same 😂
@@Osama-dw1vk 😂I’m not alone.
Hi Ali, can you please make a video on what to do about toxicity and if we are jealous of someone’s success and achievements. I am holding on to a lot of resentment. And also I 100% agree with social media. Because it has ruined my life in a lot of ways.
from my experience .. this advices can change your life and productivity 360 degree
Thank you soo much Ali. This taught me so much on time management. I've got so much more time in my life since I watched your channel.
I learned a lot from this video and was taking my notes on pen and paper very deliberately. From now on I will not scroll on RUclips, I will only use RUclips if I have a question like how I found this video. Also thanks for the ideas as well I took from my note pad thank you you really inspired me I’m 16 in highschool and I have dreams and goals to be proud and rich. Thank you again for teaching me how much “Time” is important
I've been doing the first 3 for a while now and those have been saving so much time for me.
As per chores.... That's when i really relax. I love.... Cooking in silence.
Still working on the final point. Has been a caveat of time blocking for me which I'm trying to work around now.
Thank you for this.
Another great masterpiece video, Ali. One more challenge is when we come back from 9 to 5 job and if we get some time we open a laptop and do more work and get extended. How to restrict 9 to 5 job to 9 to 5 will be a good topic for this series to make a video about. Thank you for your videos, it feels like we have a life-changing idea.
Agree with the overall messaging and intention of your video!
But I think you’re also not addressing the issue of over-optimizing and being constantly in the “ON” mode.
Speaking about my personal experience, I love learning new things, watching long-form thoughtful content on RUclips, reading a textbook or a sci fi novel after dinner. But sometimes I don’t want to fill every second of my life with things that are productive, educational, “good” for me - I’ve found that it leads to eventual burn out. Those 17 minutes before the next meeting, I can do any deep work anyway, so why not do the chores?
I also learned to enjoy doing the house chores and cleaning and cooking, sometimes with a podcast on, sometimes quietly. I there’s a lot of power in letting your mind wonder, let it be “bored” a little, let it not be productive. It might have immense benefits in the long term.
I agree. My 17 minutes honestly would actually help me be on time. I sometimes under estimate the time it took me to do stuff. Then I'm just cutting close to running late. What I used to do was just give myself a bit too much time.
If then I have say 17 or 10 minutes that I'm still early I can always dump emails or play a game .
I usually do have a RUclips video I listen to while cooking.
If you get ads on a show you're watching you can use that time to organize, clean or grab a drink .
One of your best videos. Raw, and not generic. Practical and helpful.
Ali just asking : do you think at this point that you are too regimental in being productive and missing out on actually living? Could you share what do you do for fun without being productive about it or your love life? How does your partner feel on these productive discipline ? I’d like a more overall practical picture for the real world for someone with a job, partner and a child?
love your videos. you call out on all the lazy things that we all do and show us how what you're saying totally makes sense. I really wish I had a teacher like you in School and college.
9:40 This is the rule or a theory i got in my mind from my childhood that money and time are inversely promotional to each other
Spend No money = waste more time
Spend money = no time waste 😊
Just got done reading your book! Huge impact on how i look at productivity and how i manage my time! Thanks Ali
Hey Ali ! Great video as are most of your others. I have been implementing all these recommendations for years and the outcomes have been exponential. What's left to master is overthinking Existential questions and turning all the efficiency into tangible monetary gain. You're an inspiration with this sentiment coming all the way from Malaysia.
These videos are helping me so much when trying to balance my channel with a full time job!
such simple, obvious, but useful tips! thanks for this video.
I already installed the "1 sec" app and went to look for the "someday is today" book
I really liked the idea of Spare Minutes. it changes a lot
Dude, One Sec is a game changer!!! Thank you so much for the recommendation! And the home screen thing, I already do that and it’s so usefulll. Out of sight out of mind.
It’s surprising how much simply removing apps from view helps with the temptation. I put a ‘useful’ app in place too so when muscle memory kicks in I’ve found myself in an app that actually benefits me
with every video dropping the video quality gets significantly better holy shit
Ali, I also wanted to share that I was a US resident and I had to quit medicine because I got anxiety and panic attack because of the ridiculous work hours and stress, gas lighting. I am now healing and finding my way back to a healthful and new life. I love your channel. ❤
Will u go back to medicine?
Love all your tips! I will implement the ones relating to limiting screen time. Your explanation helps me to understand my dopamine issue better.
Where chores are concerned, my time cost per hour isn't high enough to justify hiring a cleaner and I often find that cleaners don't always deliver on total cleanliness LOL. What I do find important when it comes to only spending as little time as necessary on chores is to simplify them and my surroundings so that things get done swiftly with minimal effort.
Minimalism is key for fast cleaning because getting around the clutter takes time and effort. Having little systems/hacks to streamline chores really help too. (Example: place large piece of paper underneath chopping board and push peelings etc on to the paper. Then wrap up and discard) Lastly, just keeping clean and tidy as one goes.
I disaggree with the "Spare of the minutes", because there's a thing called "The switching cost".
Many studies are showing that, at least, it costs us, as humans, 25 minutes to deeply focus on a task. And, if we switch suddenly to another, it will cost us another 25 minutes to make significant progress in that particular task.
But I get the point. I'll try to recover those minutes.
This is my business acciunt, but I can see that this also teaches me make my time is equal to money.
Thank you for telling me that chores isn't necessary all the time. Maybe chores once a week.
I’ve also thought about implementing a no tv alone rule 👀 i think it also makes sense because you share the story with someone else, so it gives you something to talk about.. when you watch it on your own then it can be kind of an isolating experience when you have noone to talk about it (which is likely nowadays because there is just too many options)
The concept of Hidden Time Wealth blew my mind. It’s like finding a cheat code for productivity and defeating procrastination.
I started the habit of not watching TV during ramadan & yes: it frees a lot of time for everything else.
I still go to movies with friends though as I realized that's something I adore, and now have no TV in the house to offset the time spent in cinemas.
“Brilliant is truly brilliant! It’s going to be my secret weapon for acing my upcoming exams. With its practical examples, it makes learning less of an academic chore and more of an engaging experience.
Excellent the way you articulate your thoughts, great arguments around time management. Makes sense to me.
I’m a fan of your work Ali…you are truly an avid reader and capture tiny details of living productive life …those quick wisdoms surely save our time from going that path and figuring out on our own…however I tend to disagree on not to watch TV…those who are already busy active they comeback home only during those hours they have access to TV…rest of the day outside they have a constant companion called cell phone which carries all the distractions that we need to worry about….even when back home the phone is always there so typically 16-17 waking hours we are exposed to distractions it’s a matter of thumb pressing on that app or avoiding….while TV accessible only 4-5 waking hours that too you can switch off as you don’t carry everywhere like cellphones with you…
Could you please make a video for highschool students, about time/life management? Any video for your younger audiences would honestly just be great.
I have one already here! ruclips.net/video/BsLC5eIjcag/видео.html
Thank you so much. @@aliabdaal
The Learning from this video is that " Be Intentional with your every seconds"
I love how Ai basically says if you want to be successful get rid of all your screens 😅. And he is so right. 😊
it‘s about understanding yourself, not about pressuring. life isn‘t waisted, if you enjoy it. there is no need to be productive, but there is a need for love. love yourself/be good to yourself and you will suceed.
One of the best videos you ever made! Eye opening. I love it!
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.
Ironically, RUclips is my time drain . I am trying to be intentional and only watch videos like these that help me.
Thanks Ali, you're a huge inspiration and help on my road to a more productive life. Keep up the good work!
Yes, yes, I am like this. You understand correctly, Mr. Ali, talk about how Ahmed and I changed my life
Too busy but you keep having real plants🎉 hats off
One major point I got from this video is to my time *intentionally*, for things that will direct my life where *I want to go*.
What an impactful video it's !! You always come up with such inspiring and self help videos. ❤
This video is spot on. Exactly what I needed to hear. No tv for over a year now, definitely a game changer. Now I am saying bye-bye social media from my phone. Thank you and your team for all the amazing content, always get really motivated after watching your videos or listening to a podcasts.

Hello Ali, I am from Bolivia oruro and right now I am using a translator to speak and I just wanted to tell you that please continue translating, this video helped me a lot.❤❤
At 10:23 on “how much it is worth to you to be able to spend those two hours:”
The it and is, is backwards. It should be “how much is it worth to you to be able to spend those two hours:”
I do all but the housecleaning idea and they’ve all made such a massive difference, but now that I work outside home full time again, I’ve been thinking about hiring a house cleaner. At least for me as an American, I feel like so many of us think we have to be independent and do it all and personally I hate spending money on something I could do. In little ways I’ve been learning that I can save time by spending money, but have been on the edge of looking at house cleaning. But it’s also become such a point of contention with my husband and I because neither of us have the time and energy to keep it up, it will probably be worth the money. That’ll be my goal today. Research house cleaning companies and try one out. I can always stop if I don’t like it.
very relatable. I've uninstalled most of my social media apps. It eats most of my time. I've paid for the laundry, which is once a month, instead of doing it and takes 2-3 hrs.
Thank you for this. ^_^
The quality of your videos has gone up exponentially, not to say they were bad a few years ago. You make really insightful content that is so enjoyable to watch. Keep it up Ali😄
Exploring evidence-backed methods to enhance productivity and happiness is truly enlightening. Your channel is a beacon of wisdom in a sea of information overload!
so the basic takeaway is, to spend your time intensionally not just spend it on whatever things, really great video
Great video!
One thought on the subject of television: I actually watch quite a lot of TV, but only in the evenings when my energy levels are low. After working all day and doing sports, I can't do anything productive anymore that requires a lot of attention and concentration.
I'm fully aware that watching TV doesn't help me in any way, but I just can't do anything "useful" in the evening because I'm too tired. 🤷
This is my second comment because I just wanted to say I watched it all, and I really love your last point as well. Every second literally does count, and I found myself. Forgetting that the in-between times can also be used for intentional actions or rest as you say.
I love keeping up with my favorite shows, but find it to be a time drain. to keep up with my friends in talking about the latest shows, i now overlap TV time with my laundry folding time -- which has been huge! thanks for these tips
It's crazy how ali's channel grows this much over a short period. I started following him when he's reached only 2.5 million. Now you see. Keep up👍
I never thought subliminals could make such a huge difference in overcoming addiction, but Borlest proved me wrong. After a couple of weeks, I felt a massive shift in my mindset. If you’re stuck in a cycle, this could be the solution. You’ve got nothing to lose.
I've stopped complaining and worrying about life that much. It's obviously hard for everyone. I wanted to start a RUclips channel and I'm still learning and experimenting stuff but hope I find my gang soon. 😌✌️
Thankfully since studying Psychology and Social Science, I do not watch television or read newspapers, there are better things to do with my life.
Thank you soo much Ali. This taught me so much on time management. I've got so much more time in my life since I watched your channel.
It's well a needed lesson Thanks Ali ❤
I kinda needed this today. Thank you Ali
FGP is the first book that I've ever read and that too in just 3 days. what an experience it was!l
These are some seriously great suggestions to avoid from falling into the trap of doom scrolling and just scrolling with no purpose.
"value the minutes" - love that!
Wow, everything makes sense! I didn't realize how much time I could have saved all these years 🤧 thank you !!!🎉❤
the chores is important, you can do it and listen to you!!!!
Brilliant as always, thanks for taking the time to make this video. It was very helpful.
Hi Ali! Thank you for your videos!
Do you have any videos about how to pick up the content? How to filter the incoming information? How to create your “content field”, that will bring you quality information and joy rather than just wasting time?
Would absolutely love to hear your thoughts about that.
People always ask me how I can read almost 200 books a year - I cut out watching shows. We got rid of the TV years ago and for me reading books brings me joy. Now, if there's a show I want to watch I make sure I really want to watch it, often I pick reading over the show.
Chores: totally! I delegated cleaning to a professional cleaner. But you don't talk about how to deal with the other chores: shopping, making lists for shopping, cooking, returning parcels, life admin... I need tips for these too lol
This video made me a understand a bit about "Innamal a'malu binniyat"
If I limit my social media usage to only 30 minutes a day, I believe I will have more time for other activities. 🤔📱 Thank you, Sir. It's great to see you from India. 🇮🇳👀 I will read your book after my exams are over in March. 📚👨🎓
so be mindful in being productive and when taking the time off
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.
The first two have directly affected my life
