If I’m procrastinating on deep work, I do something I call Game Time. 4 quarters of work, roughly 1 hour each. 5 min planning + 45 min working + 10 min review. Planning is writing down smaller tasks that add up to 45 minutes, the first of which is a very easy low-friction “kick off” task to get started. Working is timed using a playlist. 45 minutes of music + 5 minutes of silence track + applause track. The 5 minutes of silence helps me come to a natural stopping point, noticing the music stopped. The applause gets my attention if I don’t notice the music stopped, and celebrates I got a little extra work done. Reviewing is writing down what went well, what didn’t go well, what I need to focus on next. The extra time is used to take a break and move around. Each quarter gets scored, with a total score for today’s game. How you score is up to you, but I add up my original estimates for each task I completed. So max 45 points. Sometimes I only get one quarter in, sometimes all 4, it just depends on what’s doing on, but I force myself to get at least one done.
quck summary: * Deep work is focused, distraction-free work that creates value and is hard to replicate, while shallow work is routine tasks often done while distracted * Deep work is crucial for three paths to freedom: - Career advancement - Side hustles - Entrepreneurship * The speaker's 4-step deep work system: - Schedule deep work (preferably first 4 hours of day) - Take 5 minutes to align goals and organize workspace - Focus for 45-50 minutes (or until focus naturally breaks) - Reflect and recharge for 5 minutes * Key recommendation: Track daily focus time with a "focus log" - aim for 4 hours per day of deep work (though even 2-3 hours is significant)
Hi Ali! I just bought your book recently from Amazon (Feel Good Productivity). I am having a blast reading what you have written in your book. I've learned a lot about feeling good in every task. Enjoying the journey life that is meaningful and sustainable (which you often say pretty much on every YT video haha) and stuff like that.. Amazing! Keep it up Ali!
Best advice for starting 2025; "If you do not open the doors of your life to welcome success and happiness, someone else will surely invite them into their home."
Fun video! Regarding the overall theme of value and knowledge, I'm concerned about how it may evolve. I'm unsure how creating books, videos, courses, or other knowledge-based content won't be easily replaced by LLM. Do you have any thoughts?
For a college student, How do I incorporate the rhythmic approach to my student life?I want to study for my lesson and also take coding lessons online daily.
I dont know if you have ever seen my comments or messages on instagram, but i just want to thank you again!!! Following and slowly implementing things from your videos since 2019 HAS CHANGED MY LIFE.. and im not exaggerating ❤❤
Thank you for the value you create. You are one of the most inspiring people I have followed. Thank you for all you do and hope it stays for as long as you want it to
Hi ali, I work around 50hrs/week start at 8 and finish around 7-8pm .. and then i go to the gym afterwards 4-5 days .. what do you think is the best time for me to give my best for deep work.
i think it would be similar to this system, but with maybe a bit more grace for yourself and a need to be really follow your task list and schedule. Also working with a therapist on it would help, they'd probably know more than Ali on productivity and ADHD.
Hi Ali I love to listen to you, Please put subtitles on your videos, don't like auto subtitle English is not my first language, and you speak pretty fast, it's quite difficult for me to comprehend you. I don't want to miss any your suggestion or idea plz plz plz put subtitles. Thank you in advance

Hi Ali
Please I need another tech please 🥺
So in summary, time block 4 hours in the morning (or when you can) and just focus
Didn’t I meet you at Bodhi? 🤔
As a student they expect me to study more than 8 hours so i don´t get how to limit that to 4 hours of deep focus...
I need to study haaaard...
You have a knack for always making the same videos with just a tweak or two. 😂

If you add a Turkish subtitle option to your videos, I would be very happy.
