Thank you for doing this video. I have been guilty of committing all 5 mistakes. For me the first two things I would put into place would be 1. Including proper habits with the Golden Trio ( Diet, Exercise and Sleep) and 2. Working on my Attention Residue, by batching my tasks together or focusing on one tasks at a time. This was an amazing video thank you.

Very inspiring video! I learned the following (notes for myself): 1- Have a plan (block time and have a goal either long and/or short term) 2- Know how you feel (it's about awareness so practice meditation and FBR method if you're a content creator) 3- Stop multitasking (finish A, then proceed to B) 4- Take breaks (focus for 52 minutes and rest 17 - or just focus until you loose it - deactivate notifications) 5- The golden trio (Diet, Exercice and Sleep became like a cliche - focus on the hardware before the software)

What helped me was filming myself while doing random activities (like washing dishes) and narrating what I was doing or thinking at the time. I didn’t show these videos to anyone, but I was watching them from time to time. After a while, I started feeling more natural and confident around the camera and it did help when I was doing reels or going live. You just need to get used to talking into the void basically 😅.

Ali, I work in an industry where I have to read contracts that are very important for my company not to lose money and they are not very fun, it’s feels a lot of pressure to understand everything. I have a method that it’s like going to the gym, but for my brain. What I find very useful it’s to have a different task that brings my brain to that concentration stage ( a task that I enjoy, it could be reading something I found very interesting or doing some math related tasks) when I am already very focused, I switch to read those contracts. Right now after I begin using this method for a long time (like 15 years), it’s just takes a few minutes to feel ready…. Literally 3 to 5min. If I want to make it fun, I put a very relaxed music with natural sounds. You should try it and let me know if works for you!

I just want to thank you Ali. I did see an interview with Nir Eyal ages ago on Mind Valley and even took notes. Your video is better (for me). I put all 5 points down in my exercize book/ journal. AND THEN, I got stuck into my Astrology audio lesson with a stop at the 55 min mark.I repositioned my 5 shelf book shelf to give my desk more space in the break. Then I did another 45 mins to finish the tape. It really worked. !!!!! Plus I subscribed to your channel.

Please tell us more about turning boring stuff into tolerable one! You just described my life! Listening to LOTR on the background, watching Dune till midnight and then reading reviews afterwards. Makes your videos even more relatable:) Maybe now I will stop feeling guilty about taking breaks.

The Creator of everything is : Allah " الله " , and He created us to worship Him alone, and in order to teach us how to worship Him, He sent prophets like " Noah, Abraham Moses, Jesus, " peace be upon them, and the last of the Messengers is Muhammad, may الله prayers and peace be upon him.

This entire video is golden, but if one just applied the first 1:24 minutes to their life, it would changed drastically! For years, I struggled with being distracted and I didn't realize until recent years, that distraction was keeping me from the fear of success! There was a part of me that actually feared success and this was such a blessings when I recognized it, because it's what I've used to help family, friends, and even clients overcome this fear. Thank you for not only providing resources that people can use, but I thank you for showing yourself in these different examples in your videos. Many creators operating at high levels like yourself, rarely share their struggles and things that are challenging for them. I appreciate you being vulnerable and showing exactly what you do. This makes you so much more relatable in my opinion. Keep up the great work and continue inspiring others like myself!👍

I'm a busy medical assistant who found herself getting distracted at work recently. This video came at the perfect time! One actionable thing I'm going to do to improve my focus at work is to apply tip #3: focus on one thing at a time. I have competing tasks at work such as charting, prepping for the next patient, or eating a healthy meal. I'm going to just pick one task so that I don't distract myself and accomplish none of those tasks. Thank you, Ali, for this great video!

There has been some work change for me recently and broke my rhythm, I found myself suffering from distraction because I check email and messages every sec and the brain residue keeps ruining my focus. Glad this video pops up and I’m inspired!
