Ali Abdaal is a YouTuber, podcaster, entrepreneur, and an author.

What would life be like if you didn't get so distracted? If you actually did the things you wanted to do with your productive hours, rather than what you were distracted by. Ali has spent an entire career deconstructing the keys to productivity, and today we get to do through some of the most important.

Expect to learn what feeling good has to do with productivity, Ali’s core foundation to what makes someone productive, what determines whether a content creator will succeed or fail based on specific traits, the biases that are running your life that you might not be aware of and much more...

    I checked like two times to make sure my playback speed was 1x... bruh these guys talk in 1.5 great episode though appreciate your work Chris!
  • @HenokBekele
    Ali is a genuine person and you can instantly tell!!
  • That was filled with absolute gold!!! What Ali said about recharging and how we revert to habits when we are at low energy stages has really stuck with me. I’m really stuck in productivity purgatory at the minute so this has come at the perfect time! Been chasing my goals so much over the past year I feel I’m constantly cycling through bursts of motivation and then the inevitable burnout. Hats off mate! Hope you’re well!!
  • Out of all the audiobooks clocked in this month and podcasts- this was extremely helpful thank you ❤
  • @rodjourney
    When I first came across Ali's videos I was amazed by how much he does and how productive he was. That's why I subscribed to his channel. Seeing his development and the growth of his channel was so nice to see. This interview showed how he managed to do that. Thanks a lot!
  • @reneegraber
    This was one of the most enjoyable podcasts to listen to/watch in a long time. Chris and Ali feel very genuine and authentic, and I appreciate their willingness to admit areas where they are still working toward something, rather than making it seem like they “have everything together.” I continuously struggle with productivity, executive function, etc. I am more of the creative housemate that Chris mentioned. 😅 It was an easy conversation to listen to because there was the nice friend vibe that you could feel through the screen, some light, friendly jokes and jabs, and helpfully structured questioning from Chris, as always. Can’t wait to read the book and (hopefully) implement some of the ideas to improve focus and moving forward in certain areas of life. Thanks for this uplifting, helpful content, guys!
  • @ionutalexandru98
    I can't believe two of my favourite people on the internet are talking on your pod (which btw is becoming an obsession of mine). Thank you to you both ❤
  • @DrunkardTV
    This is a refreshing change from the dude bro discipline mindset. I think it's useful but definitely favors the outliers. Normies need motivation too!
  • @magueysunset
    Rushing is another form of going nowhere. I believe I read that in that book 30 Days to Overcome Procrastination by Corin Devaso. In essence, speeding up and "getting things done no matter what" doesn't help with procrastination. Slowing down and focusing on the reason for the task and establishing a well intended meaning is what helps a ton. Mindfulness helps big time.
  • @LillianEmerald
    Brilliant episode, so many valuable take aways! Thanks so much to Ali, Chris and teams 🥰
  • @AllAmericanEric
    Chris definitely influences my thinking, and more importantly my reading habits, more than anyone else for the last several years, but I also definitely began watching and continue to watch because he's a hunk. Love you bro.
  • I saw this on my Youtube main page and thought I should watch it at some point, so I made a positive decision to procrastinate about something, and watch this to pass the time.
  • @lavishresale7280
    The amount I relate to this podcast is genuinely scary, it feels like it’s been almost tailored 😂👍🏼 This is brilliant guys ❤
  • Wonderful conversation. Took lots of notes! I loved Ali’s last video about his life update. These type of conversations nourish me 😊❤️✌️ thanks
