VISUAL SUMMARY: Feel-Good Productivity by Ali Abdaal - The Periodic Table of Productivity

[@SapienciaEstoica]

I'm here just wondering how can you be so creative to summarize everything with the best possible pictures. Even for abstract concepts! That's amazing!

[@VisualPKM]

Thanks! Yes I enjoy the challenge of coming up with illustrations. This is how I practice: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ3YnGp5npd7erM

[@reverband]

You outdo yourself in every video! Your work is unbelievable. See you on next Workshop!

[@VisualPKM]

Thanks for the encouragement. KZbin is a continuous learning journey - this, and the community feedback are what I love about creating videos.

[@morganica]

You're incredibly productive! This book only came out a few days ago, and you already have a book on a page! Amazing and thank you for sharing!

[@VisualPKM]

Tiago's interview with Ali gave me the idea for the Periodic Table Layout... I anyway wanted to read Ali's book. Having a clear idea in mind for the visualization helped me get this done quicker. It was also good fun playing with Midjourney to generate all these illustrations.

[@susanpearson-creativefibro]

I feel so much better seeing that you created the illustrations in Midjourney. Although I am creative I am not confident in drawing and I thought you had drawn them all yourself. This has given me the boost to go from liking the idea of visual notes to actually creating some.

[@VisualPKM]

@@susanpearson-creativefibro You might be interested in this video. It is somewhat dated, but the techniques demonstrated are largely the same as I used to create the illustrations for the Periodic Table. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJbUpHeNd8aqmtE

Once again, Zsolt delivers an amazing visual summary!

[@VisualPKM]

Thanks Nick! That means a lot to me!

[@luizmenezes7155]

Congratulations! I had to give you a support for the high-resolution PNG, SVG, and the .excalidraw version of The Periodic Table of Productivity. Thanks for your work and success!

[@VisualPKM]

Thank you!

This channel is very underrated! You deserve millions subscribers!

[@megurel]

Thank you for this wonderful work.

[@svanteandreasson6874]

Amazing job bringing all ideas and information on to one page. Will have a look at your other videos now

[@ronnykhalil]

This is an invaluable introduction to Ali's new book, and I'm grateful to have seen it before diving in (just got the book a few days ago). Many thanks for your continued inspiring work!

[@VisualPKM]

Thanks. I am glad you found my summary valueable. Enjoy reading the book!

[@ChungBui221]

Thanks so much for the summary, you are huge amazing !

[@hendricksam]

Well that was fast! I loved the presentation. A great overview and summary!

[@VisualPKM]

Thanks! I am glad you liked it. If you had to choose which strategy / experiment did you like the most or found the most relevant to your situation right now?

[@KamilLizurej]

Wow, amazing table! Thank you for your work!

[@Sams_Uncle]

Thank you sir, Subscribed!!

[@DavidElks-qh2pn]

Thanks ❤ pretty much helpful ❤

[@paulimones]

Thank you!❤

[@Autodidact-Forever]

Thank you for this amazing idea!🙏

[@VisualPKM]

I agree, the periodic table is a neat way to summarize the concepts from the book. I hope this layout helps you apply some of these principles to your own like.

[@themaverickmedico4480]

More power to you

[@douglasnotion]

You are amazing! Fantastico! Is it possible to edit the text in the Excalidraw format you provided? I want to translate it into my language (Portuguese) but the square with the elements looks like a PNG format

[@VisualPKM]

Ping me on Discord @zsviczian and we can discuss how to get the whole pack with source images and text to you. You can find me on OMG or the Visual Thinking Workshop Discord.

[@ankanadak-k7p]

Thanks you sir for your effort to make this.I truly appreciate it the knowledge of the periodic tabl e of productivity.Thanks!

[@VisualPKM]

Awesome! Which experiment are you going to try first?

[@timclements9577]

This is great and inspiring work Zsolt, many thanks.

[@VisualPKM]

Thanks Tim! I am so happy you found this inspirational.

[@Jisooee]

Ali should see this!!

[@VisualPKM]

I am on it, but not so easy to get on his radar :)

[@hiennorules1]

Thanks for sharing, great job

[@VisualPKM]

Thanks! I am glad you found this useful. Be sure to grab the downloadable wall-chart image.

[@bouldersuechtig]

Love the book!!

[@VisualPKM]

I agree - I think this is a good book. I like how Ali addresses the life philosophy of productivity not the mechanics of it.

[@AmitGangania]

Thank you

[@Pedritox0953]

Great video!

[@wacho1832]

Holy sh*t ZSolt! You are my hero

[@VisualPKM]

🚀

[@geenonotrbl]

Omggggggg thank you for sharing

[@bladekiller2766]

How do you create all these drawings?

[@VisualPKM]

These were 95% Midjourmey generated. There is the add addition of lines I drew with Excalidraw, and there is a single image that Dall-e did a better job at.

[@kucukmimarbey3183]

hey zslot can we expect a more detailed analysis of this periodic table of productivity,something like a / part 2

[@VisualPKM]

Hi, thanks for the suggestion! I take it, you enjoyed my quick runthrough. That makes me very happy! As mentioned at the outset of the video - I am more of a productivity heretic. Sure, I believe in begin productive, but most of all I believe in creating tools, doing what I enjoy. In this sense Ali's book definitely resonated with me, but instead of doing a poor job of explaining Ali's thoughts, if anything I should talk about my own (visual & PKM based) approaches to productivity. It is super easy to find each chapter in the book matching the elements in the periodic table. It is an easy read. I encourage you to pick it up and read it.

[@kucukmimarbey3183]

@@VisualPKM thank you, i will try it, your way of summarising resonated much more with me, that was my motivation to ask you

[@rolf911]

Very fast 😎

[@VisualPKM]

Well, timing helped. I was on year-end leave anyway. I thought I might as well spend my time reading and playing with visuals.

[@Anton-zb9dc]

Suffers readability on zoom out, otherwise beautiful presentation

[@VisualPKM]

Yes, readability is an issue - this is why I made the image downloadable.
