Success is not built on success. It's built on failure, It's built on fraustration. it's built on fear that you have to overcome. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
My favorite thing about this video is how much you smile about each and every thing you showed because it shows how passionate you are about them. It was super refreshing 😊
Great video. Key thing I found with Bullet Journaling; don’t make the activity of journaling more intensive than the mental organizing it was supposed to help. See. Way to many overcomplicate their journals where they lose productivity and active recall and give up.
This whole overthinking “productivity” is what’s pointless. If anyone is using all of the stuff Ali’s suggesting here (and Notion 🤮), they’re being completely counterproductive and probably stressing themselves out that they’re “not doing it right”.
Couldn't agree more about the Sharpie/ bold point pens. It does affect our thinking process translation directly. Specially when we are trying to organize/ summarize the bigger picture.
Total side note: I never click on videos based on their thumbnail, I always read titles. And I logged into RUclips to get some Chill LoFi tunes going while I work. But I saw this thumbnail with the Peel Tear Stick box and couldn't help myself. I clearly have no self-control, and my resistance against your thumbnail design is futile lol GJ!!
Why was this video more cute than helpful. Don't get me wrong, it's very helpful. But Ali talking about things like sticky notes and sharpies so excitedly is adorable. 😩😩💚💚
Ohmygawd the sticky note hack, thankyou so much. I had stopped using sticky notes for that very annoying reason, will surely start using them again now!
This video takes me back to the vibe of your Cambridge flat videos, looking forward to see the new flat tour. Really appreciate your videos and the deep dive podcast is really great at every episode. Continue what you do 😊
New subscriber. I've read about and created some of these methods myself over the years that have helped me immensely but you very nicely encapsulated mine and new ones that I'm excited about. I never knew why I color coded my google calender or used big sharpies! 😂 Really glad i found your channel tonight. So many things you said resonated with me new and also reaffirmed some of mine. Happy New Year!
Also with the candle it's a type of smell therapy, so essentially when your body associates a certain smell with work, when you smell the specific smell, your brain just automatically turns on.
very nice video when I was in the university i was using plastic sheets roll on the Wall or the Door 😅😅 and really was helpful especially in Brainstorming new ideas and when i want to review my subjects
Another thing I do is to empty out the envelopes for bills and statements and letters etc, and then recycle them as they arrive in the bin by the kitchen trash bin (removing any plastic windows from them) and recycle the extra pieces that I don’t need to keep. The rest goes into the front file (inbox) of a bin on my desk and then about once a month or so, I sort out the contents into the other folders in that bin for storage as they’re more convenient and active things than the other files in the storage space. Those get accessed once a year and then the last possible year of tax needs are removed and decluttering of the rest happens again. If any of the active files have been archived they get added to the storage area. Everything from the last few decades (medical records and other important documents) fits into a small moving box that is in a out of the way spot. I like the system so far.
An Amazon box is a great way to recycle into your own papers bin for your desk. It’s usually the right size for me, and it’s easy to use as a semi regularly emptied bin (like I have yet to empty my current one and it is over a year old.. but that’s me). They’re usually about the size of the wicker basket bin, but they are flatter instead of taller. Anyways, maybe this will help some people out.
Nice video Ali! Also make video about other products that help you boost your productive.. Exactly which HP music do you listen while doing your work? 😊
Note on candles: Please burn only beeswax candles. They clean the air rather than release toxic chemicals into the air, as paraffin does. Check it out!
Ali, I was watching this at 2x speed (I do a lot of watching that way to save time) and making notes. And on the water section, I thought you said, "If you look at the color of your weenie, it's supposed to be basically colorless." I immediately switched from my Notes app back to the video, because I thought in a split second that I must have some kind of rare chromapenile cancer. It was on the color chart, and I thought, "Hey, at least I don't have a blue or green one." And that's when I realized you said "wee wee." Anyway, I hope my confession made you laugh.
That magic whiteboard is on my wish list. Fake plants do spark joy lol I'm tickled funny that you refer to pee as "wee" 😂 I go through candles like candy 😁😩Great, practical video 🙂
Thank you for sharing these cool affordable gadgets, Ali. I want to try Magic whiteboard to plan out my goals, create bucket list and vision board for 2023😃
Always fascinating what works for people without ADHD… the candle would just burn down my whole house because I’d run out of room doing random stuff, forgetting about the candle and never come back until I go to bed 😂
@Ali Abdaal - I’ve been following you since 2019 and you’ve been my RUclips star. Honest feedback: somehow I like more of your tech reviews, book reviews and productivity videos than watching stuffs to buy under $20….You still remain the best for me - hence the feedback :)

@@warrenjoseph76why so much hate man. I can agree that didn't work for you but it can work for others.
the pen flick at 2:56 was so smooth! i love that bro hahah
What I really need to be more productive
Is stop being obsessed with Ali's videos 🤦♀️💜
Aren't we all!
Couldn't agree more about the Sharpie/ bold point pens. It does affect our thinking process translation directly. Specially when we are trying to organize/ summarize the bigger picture.
if there is one single person in this whole globe who brings much value to my life, it must be Ali. Thank you.
Thanks!
4:15 Ali filming B-roll while filming A-roll is the most Ali thing ever 😂😂😂
8:52 That sitting down shot for continuity 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽

2:57 nice thumb around with the pen, it was super clean :D
08:46 Ali be like 'Paint me like one of your french girls'
We need bullet journal guide from Ali 😂
Why was this video more cute than helpful. Don't get me wrong, it's very helpful. But Ali talking about things like sticky notes and sharpies so excitedly is adorable. 😩😩💚💚
Wanna say it simple: I always enjoy your videos and you have an impact way more than you think. Hope to see you always happy and keep going
I love it when I sit at home after hardworking day and watching his videos cz it helps me to keep dreaming about epic future

I think part of your success to productivity is your positivity and genuinity. Keep it up!

Ali discovers the notebook. Yay!
Next discovery for Ali: the electronic bill
loved the "pen flip trick" that you did @ 2:55
Thank you Ali! I love post its & the in bin. I am so grateful that I already do those things that you mentioned to boost my productivity ❤
You are one of my favorite RUclipsrs of all time
Never knew I needed the tutorial of how to properly take sticky notes off, but I did. :D
Also with the candle it's a type of smell therapy, so essentially when your body associates a certain smell with work, when you smell the specific smell, your brain just automatically turns on.
I do the sticky notes on the monitor too! I'm always looking at it so it's a great place to put reminders.
Note to self:
Cling film whiteboard
Make Time book by Jake Knapp + John Zeratsky
That post-it note tip!! 🌟🙌🏽
That subtle Sharpie flick at 2:58 😅😅😅
very nice video
when I was in the university i was using plastic sheets roll on the Wall or the Door 😅😅
and really was helpful especially in Brainstorming new ideas and when i want to review my subjects
I'm gonna said that your voice was so calming to hear. TQ for the tips
i love that your ideal background music is things like lord of the rings and pirates of the Caribbean 👌👌❤❤
That cling film whiteboard is genius
Just started watching your vids even though it’s 4am and I should’ve been asleep 4 hours ago. But I’m hoping this is the start of saving my life.
It’s a first time I see magic whiteboard, love that😍
You're so real. Love that!
A good management helping guide video ❤
Still waiting for that Bullet Journal video. :)
Another thing I do is to empty out the envelopes for bills and statements and letters etc, and then recycle them as they arrive in the bin by the kitchen trash bin (removing any plastic windows from them) and recycle the extra pieces that I don’t need to keep.

Everything from the last few decades (medical records and other important documents) fits into a small moving box that is in a out of the way spot. I like the system so far.
It’s so cute to see you get into scented candles.
An Amazon box is a great way to recycle into your own papers bin for your desk. It’s usually the right size for me, and it’s easy to use as a semi regularly emptied bin (like I have yet to empty my current one and it is over a year old.. but that’s me).
They’re usually about the size of the wicker basket bin, but they are flatter instead of taller.
Anyways, maybe this will help some people out.
Plus you can recycle the whole thing! The box as well as the contents.
wow the magic whiteboard seems so cool haha!
Just watching your videos motivates me - without even implementing these things! Thanks Ali!!
That Whiteboard sheet is really good, thanks for letting me know.
This guy makes more videos about being productive than actually being productive
Didn't know about the magic whiteboard too cool ty!
I need to make time to read the book "Make Time"
Nice video Ali! Also make video about other products that help you boost your productive.. Exactly which HP music do you listen while doing your work? 😊
I just love his vibe 💕. PERIOD
Thank you! My habit of putting sticky note reminders on my monitor has been validated! 😂
Where is the "Study with me" playlist that you mentioned at 10:41? I couldn't find it in the description.
Love you, Ali! You inspire me to do better from all the content you create :D 💁🏽♀️🙆🏽♀️🙌🏽
Note on candles: Please burn only beeswax candles. They clean the air rather than release toxic chemicals into the air, as paraffin does. Check it out!
Smart idea with the whiteboard, gonna steal that 😅
Love your content! And the speed. I have all of these, thanks for inspiring me to use them. 😛
The foam roller part was the best 😂😂😂
I love your videos. Thank you!
you are very good in spiriting me to continue my work

He's pretty "old" in this "productivity" industry, but I can still see his passion and eagerness when he's talking. 100x likes.
OMG, Dr. Abdaal! The white board and A3 writing pad are game changers for me. Thanks so much. 😊
NO ALI NO! i have yet to see one in-tray that isn't GUNKY! 🤣 the candles, sharpies, and sticky notes can stay.
Thanks, Ali!
Amazing Video Ali . . . . Please include the plants in the background . . . They make your enviornment more productive . . .
@2:58 That pen flip was smoooooth 😅
Love this video, Ali. These little things make work fun.
How do you keep everything in your life updated? Bullet journal, Notion, many of the other apps you've mentioned on your channel?
Happy new year
7:40 this is the weirdest thing i ever saw Ali doing 😂😂
That magic whiteboard is on my wish list. Fake plants do spark joy lol I'm tickled funny that you refer to pee as "wee" 😂 I go through candles like candy 😁😩Great, practical video 🙂

yess!! the bullet journal ❤️
productivity guru! Thanks, Ali
I can’t believe I didn’t know this about sticky notes 😱😱😱
Very useful bro, hope to see you someday in hong kong
Excited to watch!
I finally found the magic whiteboard I've been looking for!! thank you
That magic white board is so cool! First time to see one. 😅
I love them!
omg i did not know that about the sticky notes!!!!!! you are so cool
Love from india❤
I would buy all of these and sit next day thinking what to be productive about 😅
Another awesome video! Thank you!
Always fascinating what works for people without ADHD… the candle would just burn down my whole house because I’d run out of room doing random stuff, forgetting about the candle and never come back until I go to bed 😂
That’s why I add a timer to my phone with the name/ label of “blow out candle” or sometimes “turn off candle” as it is the same concept for my brain.

Be safe using the foam roller try to avoid the lumbar as it can lead to more pain
Sticky notes are awesome!
0:16 okeyyy!
Always lovely to see your videos! From bangladesh 🇧🇩
I too found the bullet journaling thing importand got that ebook right away. But other things i think are more distracting .
Thank you Ali🌹
Handy tips! ❤
I digitized most of these productivity tools… I still use some of them. 😊
I can't wait for your book!!
