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.

[@gao-e4q]

I like this a lot haha I might steal some of this. Only issues I have with it is too much time spend reviewing for me personally (great if it works for you). Plus what if I'm still focused after the 50 minutes? I'd rather keep working than get interrupted by the applause

[@lorenss124]

Finding book The art of self love by Sabrina Windale should be your top priority, even if thats the last thing you do in life

[@StayUp-app]

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)

[@pavelsurkov2853]

The fact that Ali has his own stock footage featuring only himself cracks me up every time. Great value as always! Thank you.

[@saraibr850]

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 ❤❤

[@CharliniAlmeida]

The King of productivity is back! 🙌

[@Vera_fall]

Dr. Ali, please bring back the vlogs!! 🎉 Big fan 😊

[@asadmasood-h3t]

you're an inspiration brother.We are just blessed to have u Ali Abdal.

[@MM-rp8ps]

I started watching your video 2 days back and I already watched like 20 videos and learned a lot❤

[@bryantpettey5462]

Really loved this video! You said some things that I have said to myself and thought but somehow hearing you say it let some important things sink in deeper. Loved the idea around Deep Work and Freedom and how freedom gets you fun and fulfillment and when you are free you realize it was about the journey in the first place and with that freedom, you really want to be doing deep work. soooo very true! and i always talked about the activation energy barrier and never heard anyone else say that and use those words! so loved hearing you say that. That activation energy barrier/activation energy required for me to start is HUGE! :/

[@jarabmk]

This is the only channel I'm not able to watch in 1.25x or more, Ali speaks naturally on like 1.5x, can't imagine how fast his brain works 😅

[@Ahmad-yi6d]

😂 Same here

[@omniaseddig9632]

I always struggle a lot with how to focus but nowadays I feel I am gonna improve since I watched your videos it's about four days by the way so, thank you very much may Allah bless your effort

[@LuxuriousBlu]

This was super helpful. It’s exactly what I need right now to schedule my day and get my work done daily.

[@WealthyChronicle]

This idea of tracking focus minutes is brilliant. Who knew it would be this simple to boost productivity? Time to get to work! ⏳🔥

[@13thravenpurple94]

This was a delightful watch! Thank you very much for creating it! 😊

[@glendy_mx]

Thank you Ali you're my friend that likes productivity and share to me, ando talk a lot of real success in life ... thanks deep work for fun and fullfilment🎉❤

[@Mathishing]

I can't describe how this video makes me feel. Awesome Ali. Truly Awesome.

[@karpagaganesh1859]

That's one of the finest videos I saw in KZbin over the years! 👏

[@av1ationace]

By far the best Ali Abdaal video ive watched, thanks mate. ❤ Looking forward to the productivity summit!

[@vitaliikolos]

Wow, that's really inspiring. Especially the part where you're supposed to enjoy the process.

[@L.I.T.H.I.U.M]

Amazing argument for deep work. Even after reading Newport's Slow Productivity and Deep Work and your FGP.

[@syedmuhammadhamza348]

Distracting myself in the middle of work to see your video on focus

[@zaccrowlands]

Instantly 2x your focus by simply leaving your phone in another room while you work. Environment is crucial. Great video Ali thank you for sharing!

[@varunkaapoor]

Exactly the video I was looking for! Thanks for posting Ali!

[@Official.Alii.M]

Love these videos

[@LavvekJeSmece]

For years i tried everything to manifest money with no success. Then I read a book called The secret money magnet formula and everything just clicked. This book is on another level

[@Trading_withchandru]

Now u got success ?? After reading?

[@AF2277S]

What do you expect when you’re manifesting? It’s literally one of the biggest scams by self help gurus. Thinking about it and talking about it won’t make you rich, take action

[@TonyShriller]

Shoutout to the smoothest pen spin I've seen @2:50 😲

[@Ahmad-yi6d]

😅

[@Brysing]

Me watching this video while being in a deepwork session would be extremely beneficial

[@SAVEDTIME]

Read the title and now I’m ready to take notes!

[@Saim_theproductive]

Amazing stuff Ali :)

[@justaskang]

Thanks for sharing these tips Ali! Also love the background music.. so calming

[@badmatt4100]

This is one of your best videos yet

[@adhvikmanchanda3968]

I was waiting for your video ❣ The most productive KZbinr everrrr.....

[@MrFrizelle]

I spotted you reading "What to expect when you're expecting", so assuming that means what I think it means (and why would you risk leaving it in there and being misunderstood otherwise?) 🎉🎉🎉CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉🎉🎉

[@FunTimeAnimations1803]

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!

[@CapsToggledd]

Please make a video about a minimal and effective productivity system on your phone

[@enormouspower7623]

Focus log . Yes that helps and inspires to go beyond.

[@eieigo]

hi from japan! great vid!! thx!!! enjoy your life! you are awesome!!

[@neverendingparty2060]

4 hours is a real limit. I worked part time, did 4 extra curricular and went to school full time. There would be days were I became very aware of the cognitive resources I had People were upset that I would just tap out for the day but I noticed not only my work declining but also my mental, physical, and social health.

[@susanwambui530]

Wow, just wow. that was amazing actually

[@Eitan2]

I feel more productive already!

[@sanketkoli2859]

[@MeNamanGupta]

Say this to yourself every Morning from 2025; 1. I am the Best. 2. I Can Do it. 3. God is always with me. 4. I am a Winner. 5. Today is my Day.

[@hilmiakbarr]

stupid

[@anishiscool]

So in summary, time block 4 hours in the morning (or when you can) and just focus

[@harrietyawson5411]

[@rohitgamit4620]

Ali is expected to mention Qvarden Token within few hours and the ICO is already almost sold out

[@Goodpsychiatry]

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?

[@abhinavzp]

Loved itt... ❤

[@enthapposambavam]

Superb content

[@Ammaar-Ahmed]

This is amazing!

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

Thank you 😊.

Management consulting is not about selling pixels, but solving problems that clients (due to various reasons) are struggling to solve themselves. Pixels are there only to present ideas, brainstorm them, and find solutions. Eventually team prepare proper pixels that will excite senior stakeholders. I'm happy to clarify more, if you are interested in getting more insight into this industry.

Any recommendation for focus log?

[@uzumakisenpai7490]

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.

[@肥鼠家族]

Hello Ali, I am a medical scientist turned full time individual investor - does it consider as entrepreneur as well? I doubt

[@L.I.T.H.I.U.M]

No. Investor isn't an entrepreneur. It's a different career or a side hustle if you're still doing your medical thing.

[@LucaRe-r6e]

What do you think of Ryan Holiday focusing on NOT setting goals to be productive?

[@lorensims4846]

In mediaeval times the average workday was four hours. After that you had time to work around the house, your farm or whatever. It really doesn't make sense to try to do serious work for more than four hours. We try to do that now by working four hours, then taking a lunch break and working another four hours, but that doesn't really work.

[@mojireallenajayi]

nice video but the marker on paper sound makes it hard to watch for neurodivergents 😊 thank you for your work 👍🏾

[@AWorldAgo]

Thanks for 206 subscribers. Keep supporting guys 🙏🏽

[@imTaro-tv]

fact that this video was edited by his wife tell everything :)

[@Karen_in_Alaska]

I often notice that when you point to the corner of the video and say something will be posted there or say that another relevant video series will be posted in the information below, those things aren’t happening. These are videos that I would definitely click on and keep watching, but the links often are not there.

[@zitaroelandt6058]

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...

[@binodff4836]

Awesome

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

[@ExcaliburOfYuletide]

If it helps at all, you can slow down the video speed in the settings! ❤

[@6FootVampire]

Try my adhd meds, it will help

[@prerna_aggarwal]

Loved the way you broke down the deep work concept. How do you stay consistent when motivation dips?

[@lakeshnampelly2196]

Thanks Q❤

[@shahenshaaikh5280]

Ali plz plz plz put subtitles, the auto subtitle is not that good

[@yagndabhi2178]

23:38 26:18

[@wild.world12]

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

[@soundscape26]

You have a knack for always making the same videos with just a tweak or two. 😂
