Summary
The episode is a masterclass on how to enhance productivity, elevate your work and personal life and cultivate a balanced and happy lifestyle.
Ali Adbaal is a YouTube and author, his videos on productivity tips and study hacks have gained him over 5 millions subscribers and over 380 million views. Before beginning his YouTube career Ali trained to be a Doctor of Medicine and went on to work in the NHS as a Junior Doctor for 2 years. In this episode, Ali takes Jake and Damian on a deep dive into how to foster productivity in the everyday and stay on top of your goals. Many New Year’s resolutions fail as they are motivated by reward, rather than internal motivation. Ali explains how by understanding the three energisers: Play, Power and People, you can keep yourself motivated throughout the year.
By giving his top tips avoiding procrastination, Ali shares his system for keeping productive including a unique bucket list system that separates essential goals from the rest, helping to maintain perspective and keeping goals realistic. He also offers practical advice on saying no when needed, eliminating unhelpful routines, and recognising the signs of burnout. Ali's wisdom extends to nurturing your inner child, offering a fresh perspective on personal growth and finding fulfilment.
