You get to decide where your time goes. You can either spend it moving forward, or you can spend it putting out fires. You decide. And if you don’t decide, others will decide for you.

I will use this structured content on my channel as well 🎉 "If you don't know where you're going, any road will lead you there" - Alice in wonderland

1. Plan out your ideal week, use SMART goals 2. Most time management problems are actually energy management issues. Guard your energy! Feel good! Calendar blocking lets you feel up your day around those concrete blocks W/ energising stuff, coffee W/ friends...ask yourself... How can I build energy? 3. The adventure habit. Ask yourself... What is the most important task or adventure I have to do today? + 3 side quests... 4.minimise task switching to be more intentional, but welcome welcoming distractions... Part of the adventure habit will let you know which distractions to welcome and push away. 5. Rapid action habit... When we hear new information without action, we don't retain that information. So bias towards action 6. Experimental action: treat your different passions with this notion that it is an experiment...discipline carries that vibe that you have to do it... Rather than seeing it as an opportunity to experiment!

[@visibleaesthetics7343]

7. Reflection: weekly, monthly, are you aligned with your goals. 8. Delegation habit: what can you cut out of your life.. or no longer is part of your lifestyle... Is there anything you would rather someone else do?

[@fenixrising1972]

You're doing the Lord's work.

[@sunevanheerden]

Well said😅I will use these tips in life and for my YT channel🎉

[@SajjaadKhader]

i’m so excited for your book to come out! You’ve been providing such great productivity tips for so long now!

[@abdullahalam2088]

The bit about welcome distractions was especially delightful :) There are times where I would deliberately sit in my living room to get work done just so I could be distracted occasionally by my housemates. Feels nice :)

[@MickDude_]

Man I recently found your channel and I genuinely believe some of the things that I’ve been taking note of from your videos will change my life. Thank you Ali. 🙏🏻

[@JustThatGuyArt]

Ali! The way your videos are presented are so elegantly and cleanly, and the knowledge is amazing! Thank you!

[@OwenMuller64]

Always put your finances in good care to ensure that your income rises. Wealthy people achieve there financial goals and acquire riches by seeking help from finance pro(s) but many claim to have achieved success themselves.

[@OwenMuller64]

“The greater the passive income you can build, the FREER you will become.” I feel fortunate to have made productive decisions that have had a lasting impact on my life. Through my finance coach, I've accumulated over a million and recently purchased my first house in January. I've also managed to pay off my mortgage and student loans, and now I'm focused on working towards my retirement by next year.

[@MichaelChase1]

That’s a just approach. I’m 40 but my financial life is a mess. Any ideas will go a long way in shaping my life and finances.

[@OwenMuller64]

I operate a wide range of investments and have achieved massive growth in my finances with the help of my financial professional, making my financial goal a reality.

I CANT STRESS how much i love this guy, his videos and how , much they have helped and influenced me.

[@poornakulkarni9770]

The concept of 'feels good stuff' always helps in maintaining consistency is so true. We dont need to push ourselves. We rather tend to do such things cheerfully.

[@soichi0416]

The ability to explain things to others in a concise manner is also important.

I am currently listening to Make Time. ❤ Love your book notes. Thanks so much Ali.

[@loistanglao4126]

The editing on this is amazing!!

[@joepiekl]

I like the bit about interruptions harming productivity at work, because in my experience, 90% of those interruptions come from management.

I love the adventure & side-quest analogy, will definitely be adopting that. Thank you for the advice, can't wait for the book! 🙏

Totally agree. So many of the productivity tips I talk about on my channel were inspired by Ali. I can't wait to see what comes out next from him and his team.

[@anikaantara4836]

Best video on KZbin about time management 🙌🏻

[@Mr.X.I.I]

Absolutely love your videos Ali Thanks for the hard work keep it up sir

[@westendburrow]

Amazing! Thanks Ali, this is very motivating!

[@AllAboutAvatar.]

Wow Ali, great video! Your editor needs a raise... Thanks for the tips ❤

[@aventuratejulit]

Great and informative as always

[@GregMunro]

Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are alot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.

[@GregMunro]

Such market uncertainties are the reason I don’t base my market judgements and decisions on rumours and here-says, got the best of me 2020 and had me holding worthless position in the market, I had to revamp my entire portfolio through the aid of an advisor, before I started seeing any significant results happens in my portfolio, been using the same advisor and I’ve scaled up 750k within 2 years,

[@GregMunro]

Having a counselor is essential for portfolio diversification. My advisor ASHLEY AIRAGAHI who is easily searchable and has extensive knowledge of the financial markets.

[@norestjoel]

Scam

[@adaline_scrapjo]

Hey Ali, I discovered you a couple weeks ago and after watching handful of your videos I just wanna say this. I've never met anyone who can speak so much information so clearly, so straightforward, and super smooth to digest in even if you are talking in an insane speed. I don't know if you specifically took speech training or it's a talent supported with tons of reading - but however you do this you are crashing it! I rarely watch KZbin videos over 5-10 mins, but when you talk I am always amazed how I ended up watching till the end without noticing how the time passed. Thanks a lot for being in youtube, for doing what you do in a high level, and I'll confess , to me social media is a big fat fake lives, you are an exception, because you way of talking, skills and hard work on putting all this information together with your team and delivering it in such attractive way make me go like "He is definitely doing something right, so I'm gonna listen to him". Also, your style of promoting things: Well, I strongly dislike this whole affiliate promotion because nowadays, it's so easy to be an affiliate that everyone is an affiliate so nobody ends up earning anything (specifically smaller accounts); however, either its your own book or another product you promote, your way of casually mentioning and giving brief information which is relatable as well, instead of exaggerating, kinda makes things don't look like an ad. You are really good at this, there is a lot to learn from you.

[@beautyiseverywhere88]

Wow, you are always amazing and always active with full energy thats why I am always so excited to watch your video 😊🥰

[@iareqwen3513]

Hi Ali, perfect timing! I just pre-ordered your book through Amazon and I am so excited to be receiving it as my Christmas Present. I have been watching your passive income video repeatedly, you inspired me to do something to change my life through mindset and productivity. Great content as always, thank you!

[@cashainouno1035]

This is AWESOME, makes my time management stress free.

[@themindnoter]

Love the energy!

[@focus168168]

the #1 killer for me is procrastination or getting my butt off to work on the task. My calendar and GTD is full of overdue items or undone items

[@pinkifloyd7867]

Self Reliance is my key to feeling good... Without it no calendar or schedule not even the best looking plan works so maybe start with that in mind? Just my 2 cents😘

[@criscros22]

Hi Ali, I just came across your channel and felt myself wanting to do something and trying out youtube. Like many others I haven't taken the first step, but I really want to. I'm just really happy theres someone out there who genuinely wants to help people like me who want to do something more with their life and accomplish goals. Thanks.

[@Marymylifemylove]

Pre-ordered on Audible can’t wait. Thank you!

[@helloworld4902]

Omg that’s great hope I could actually see things that could actually work for me and put them into action . Lot’s of love ❤️

Loved the video, I'll do some of those productivity habits 🤝🏻 Do you always talk that fast? Or is part of being more productive? Thanks!

[@minetime6881]

I would like to hear Ali’s opinion on the late research on the Anterior Mid-cingulate (if I spelled that correctly) and how it grows when we use self discipline for things we don’t want to do.
