Hey Ali, hope you read this comment and take an action. There is someone targeting your channel, basically he/she has his/her channel name as "PINNED BY ALI ABDAAL", and your profile pic, so that we think it is posted by you. And they are providing some sort of a number, maybe that is some kind of a scam. Please tell everyone else by either creating a video or posting a post about informing everyone Channel link of the person who tried to do that with me - kzbin.info/door/afsdrpu_JBiyXvZZdP5vNA Hope you read this comment

8:15 gotta love how the highlights go up during the daily highlight section

[@curioustan]

Hahaha, agree - I was about to say the same thing! 😅

[@lib9381]

As a team at work, everyday we have a 10 min meeting to go around the team and everyone says the one thing they want to achieve by the end of the day - it's amazing how useful it is!! keeps us accountable and spots opportunities in someone else's work that you can collab on etc

[@katiavione]

Watching/listening things in double speed is a blessing and a curse. Since I’ve started doing it, I also started struggling with real life situations that don’t have the option, such as some video meetings. Can’t keep focused on them as they seem extra slow.

[@chaitanyavaru]

I second this

[@byjmitch]

S - systems (focus on system/process over the goal), the daily highlight (do the single most important thing 100% of the time), consuming content at 2x speed, enjoying the journey (make stuff more fun) A - delegating, time-blocking B - 5-minute rule (work for 5 minutes minimum if procrastinating)

[@DavidAnguera]

#VcorpInvest this isn’t the first time you have done something incredible, you are the future no cap 🧢

[@supermuhtesemoyuncu4824]

I believe the future is now , and the earlier you start preparing for it the better , how many of us here believes #VladimirCorp will get you to your goal faster than any other out there??

[@lakshyapatil4372]

I really like the background in this video, the five minute rule genuinely is pretty useful to get things done which you just don't want to. The projects we get at school seem really uninteresting so I just convince myself to do it all in one sitting. It doesn't happen in one sitting because it generally takes a lot of materials but by the time I get up, atleast there's this sense of satisfaction that only a small part of the procedure remains and that I would be able to submit it on time.

[@arsi1an356]

I use grouping the tasks which really helps e.g in personal development I have to 1.Read 25 min 2.Write something for 25 min 3. Learn a new skill everyday for 25 min Personal care 1.7.5hr sleep. 2.brush twice 3.1km running 50 push ups or 40 min in gym 4.3ltr water 5.brush twice 6.moisturizing skin daily In work or Goals I complete 4 tasks daily that works for me.

I've been watching all KZbin videos on 2x Speed for 5 Years now, it feels so slow to watch it at normal speed now. Saved me a lot of time

[@VanderWolls]

Hi Ali. I hope you don't mind me saying that procrastination is considered by a lot of psychologists to be an issue with anxiety. The "do it for 5 minutes and you'll be fine" is a strategy I can certainly see working for someone who is only slightly anxious as they end up seeing that the work is really no big deal. But the sword that really slays anxiety issues is the self-examination to identify what thoughts are causing the anxiety. Possibly with therapy if the problem is REALLY bad.

[@jarrettyew]

I'm consuming this video at 2x speed. It works!

[@ImprovementGang]

1 thing that can be talked about more is the text-to-speech tool. It can be used to take notes while someone speaks (like a lecture), help you write down your own thought more easily (like an essay), and it can save time by focusing on what is being said rather than being worried about writing it down.

[@JohnzorDC]

I usually listen to KZbin and audio books at 2x speed, but when I listen to Ali Abdaal, I listen at .5x speed

[@JonathanSorunke]

My favorite by far is the daily highlight. Most days we only get one major task done anyways so I think it’s more important to focus on that one vs worrying about the others. Great video!

[@JeromeFe]

I like the Organize Tomorrow Today, where every day till noon you set for tomorrow 3 most important things and one of them as a must. Plus I like the GTD - getting things done where you do weekly review and decide from the backlog on what project I want to advance the next week, make sure each has step by step action plan and time allocated to get it done

[@Pikachuwhereareyou]

Just want to appreciate whoever creates the graphics for your videos 🌟 Colourful, yet minimalistic.

[@ZoeysMusings]

Consuming content at 2x speed has changed my life. This is a great resource, Ali

[@Azizelle]

[@yanivavrahami842]

I started consuming content at 2x-2.5x two years ago and now I do it all the time, now watching a video at normal speed feels weird. I have a Chrome extension for speeding videos that works beyond KZbin. For me, this hack is number 1

[@dominodevelopment]

My favorites are the 2-day rule and the Eisenhower Matrix. I've also recently tracked the time I spend on studies, versus creative work, as well as "multitasking" (creative work that doesn't require much cognitive energy while listening to instructive material related to my studies). I don't quite know why I'm tracking my time. The quote "what's gets measured gets managed" hasn't applied that well for me so far. I think I want to get a better understanding of how well my calendar and my action line up, as well as how much I get done during a certain amount of time.

[@bomarr]

I'm with you on the 2x speed on videos and podcasts/audiobooks! I slow them down when they get to the important bits, if necessary, but in general, I love it. It's not for everyone though! Glad to know I'm not crazy.

[@vannistube]

Watching at 2x speed the video of ali claiming to consume content at 2x speed is simply awesome.

[@MertMango]

This is genuinely one of the most useful videos I've ever seen. And it also is perfect timing for me as I have a kind of slow month.

[@Kelly_Ben]

I absolutely loved this video, and the fact you included different methods even though they might not work for you. I was introduced to the daily highlight method through the book The One Thing, and it literally changed my life, and fit me from just dreaming about having my own business to actually opening my own business, in 1 year, with little time and even less money. I'm going to dive into a couple of these methods, especially the 2 day rule, too help grow my business and the fun things in my life that have suffered.

[@robertheathsr-thrivenation9591]

[@smileykam]

Turns out that consuming content at 1.5 speed does work for me. Because all the information is being delivered faster I make an effort to hyperfocus and I find this prevents me from getting distracted. I can't do it with all contact and sometimes 1.25 speed is plenty to help me focus on the video or audio, but would highly recommend it, I never thought of it as a tool for learning, but it works.
