Hey friends, welcome back to the channel.

So over the last 15 years of being absolutely obsessed with productivity,

I have read dozens and dozens and dozens of productivity books and loads more on Kindle, but this is quite a lot of stuff.

And so in this video, I wanna break all of these down into a nine step framework.

These are the nine steps that I've personally distilled from all of these different books and all the research I've done.

And if you just follow these nine steps, these are the main things that are gonna absolutely move the needle for your own productivity.

All right, step one is to set your goals.

This basically involves thinking about where you actually want to go and what is the destination that you're aiming for,

because having a destination in mind helps you go on your journey and helps give you some sort of direction.

Now, that doesn't mean that when we set a goal, we should be completely wedded and attached to the outcome that we're striving for,

but it does mean that if you really want to be productive,

and to me, productivity is about using our time intentionally and effectively to work towards the things that matter to us,

we need to actually define what are in fact the things that matter to us.

Now, there's various books that talk about dozens and dozens of different ways of doing this.

The way that I sort of synthesize all of these is into just three simple steps.

Think about the long -term, think about the medium -term and think about the short -term.

So the long -term time horizon is basically like stuff like, what do you want written on your gravestone?

The medium -term we're thinking sort of three to five years out,

like where do I possibly maybe potentially want to be three or five years down the line?

Now, the crucial thing for all this stuff is

that you don't need to have perfect crystal clarity on this

and your goals and your time horizons

and stuff are absolutely gonna change over time

but it's really helpful to know right now where do I think I want to be

so that I can start moving in that direction

because as they say it's much easier to steer a ship that's moving than to steer a ship that's stationary

and then the short -term time horizon

which is basically what are my goals for the year

and in fact all three of these methods are the final chapter of my own book feel good productivity

which you can check out down below it's available for pre -order with a bunch of bonuses

but that'll be linked down below but essentially the way

that I think about this short -term time horizon is the

12 -month celebration in each of the different areas of my life, in work, in health and relationships,

what do I want to be celebrating 12 months from now?

Let's say I'm having dinner with a friend and we're celebrating the progress we've made.

Maybe on the health front, it's like, oh, I'm celebrating that I've been to the gym consistently three times a week for the last 12 months.

Maybe on the work front, I'm celebrating hitting a revenue milestone with my business.

Maybe on the relationships front, I'm celebrating getting engaged or getting a girlfriend or whatever the thing might be.

And so if we're condensing all of these different productivity books into the simple nine -step framework, the question that you want to ask yourself is,

am I clear on my goals?

What am I actually working towards?

And if you're not clear on that, or you don't have an idea that it's worth sitting down

and doing some journaling for just 20 minutes to think about it.

And if you're clear on that, then you can move on to the next step.

And the next step, once you have set your goals is to break them down.

Now, it's all well and good having goals, but really setting the goal does not actually help you make progress towards it.

It's better than nothing.

But obviously, there are a load of steps involved once you've set the goal to actually making it happen.

And therefore, this step is really all about breaking our goals down into what are the tangible actions

that we can take to make progress towards those goals.

Now again, depending on how many of these productivity books you read, there are dozens of ways of trying to figure this out.

I like to keep things simple and boil it down to the basics,

which is basically the question of what inputs do I need to do on a weekly basis

that are going to get me to this particular goal.

For example, for health, if the goal is to build muscle, or you can turn that into a smart goal if you really want to,

then the weekly input would be weight training three times a week with progressive overload.

If the goal is I want to write my first book, then the weekly input would be I want to spend 10 hours a week writing.

I don't really believe in like making a task list

and like breaking the goal down into like the 18 ,000 different things it takes to make the goal

because that becomes way too complicated.

And a lot of kind of balancing reading about productivity advice with actually doing the thing is finding

that sweet spot where you're taking the advice on board because the advice is generally good,

but it's not so overboard that it starts to become overwhelming.

So just to simplify all of this down, what are the things that we need to do every week to make progress towards this goal?

And then once we're clear on that, we move on to step number three, which is one of the most important ones,

which is to create time blocks.

And essentially here, the idea is that we need to make the time for these different things that we've decided,

these weekly inputs, we need to make the time for those things in our calendar.

Now, my favorite method for this is called the ideal week technique.

Basically, that involves just creating a new Google calendar, calling it your ideal week, and creating calendar events for what time you want to wake up,

what time you want to go to sleep, what time you're having lunch, what time you're at work,

what time you're hanging out with the friends and family and date night and all that stuff.

And you start off creating the blocks of time for the things that you have to do.

And then you can move on to creating blocks of time for the things that you want to do.

There's some nuance there, like have to do can often be reframed to want to do in your own mind.

We can often choose to feel as if we have more autonomy in situations than we actually do.

But fundamentally, the ideal week technique

and using a calendar tells you how much time you have available to actually give to these things that you care about.

So for example, if my goal is to build more muscle and get six pack abs or whatever the thing is,

and I know that I need to do weight training three times a week for let's say an hour,

that means I need to find three one hour blocks of time in my calendar,

and then maybe with some buffer on either side for getting to the gym and getting back home.

Now, if I physically don't have those blocks of time in my calendar, because let's say I'm working two jobs and have a family,

then it's going to be really tricky then I should reconsider what my goal actually is

and whether it's actually realistic for me to be able to hit the gym three times a week.

Now, the way I think of these blocks of time is that these are containers.

They're simply containers.

And the first step to actually making time for this stuff is to create the containers.

When I was working on my book, Feel Good Productivity, link down below, I had containers for about three hours basically every morning of the week.

From nine till 12, Monday through Friday, except Wednesdays, which was like team meetings day,

I would focus the first three hours a day on book writing.

Now, how many words I got done was like a further down the line thing,

but it's like the first step was to create those containers and then you can fill those containers with the time, effort, energy, blood, sweat, tears,

whatever it takes to fill those containers.

But the point is you have to create the containers in the first place

and that is where this technique of time blocking really shines.

Let's now move on to step four, which is to plan your day.

And often the single best productivity tactic here

that a bunch of different books talk about is the idea of setting your intentions as the first thing

100

you do in the morning.

101

So before starting your workday, you think to yourself, what do I actually want to accomplish today?

102

This book, Make Time by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky, is very good.

103

This talks about their daily highlight, where you just ask yourself, what is today's highlight going to be?

104

Similarly, the book

105

The One Thing by Gary Callow talks about what is the one thing I want to get done today.

106

Harvard Business Review says, what is your MIT, your most important task?

107

Brian Tracy's book, Eat That Frog, talks about what is the frog, that like tricky thing that you've been procrastinating on.

108

What's that one thing that you want to get done first thing in the morning?

109

The point is, a lot of these different productivity books

110

and experts converge on this one single piece wisdom

111

which is every single day ask yourself what is the actual most important thing you want to get done

112

that day and then make time for that thing in your calendar

113

and then if you actually do the thing even

114

if you do nothing else then the day has been a win

115

and if you just can do that every day for 365 days you'll make

116

so much progress

117

that it'll be insane my personal favorite way of framing

118

this exact question is asking myself the question of what is today's adventure going to be

119

and this is great

120

because you get the benefit of trying to figure out what's the most important task

121

but secondly you also get the benefit of it just feeling a bit more enjoyable

122

and again this is the philosophy of feel good productivity

123

which is that if you can make your work feel good then you become more productive by default

124

and you have more energy and more creativity and less stress

125

and then life is just better all right

126

then we move on to step number five we have planned our day

127

we have got the blocks in the calendar for doing the thing at

128

that point all that's left to do is to just get started

129

and this is going to depend on what the context is

130

so let's say you're a student studying for a chemistry exam

131

and you've got in your calendar 10 a .m to 11 a .m study for chemistry exam.

132

And let's say the clock hits 10am.

133

Now, that at that point, you have a choice.

134

Do you follow your intention?

135

Do you do the thing that previous you said that you wanted to do in this time block 10 to 11am?

136

Or do you not follow your intention?

137

And do you procrastinate and do you faff around?

138

And do you do whatever the hell you possibly can make a cup of coffee, go for a poo, whatever the thing might be?

139

Do you do whatever you can to avoid doing the thing that your

140

that your higher self has already decided that you were going to do at 10 o 'clock?

141

This is something honestly

142

that I still struggle with even though I'm considered to be a productivity expert

143

I've literally written a book on the thing I've read hundreds of research papers

144

and dozens and dozens

145

and dozens of books on the thing I still do struggle with procrastination

146

I had a filming block on my calendar from 9 till 1 p .m.

147

it is now 12 30 and for the last three

148

and a half hours I've been procrastinating in various ways from filming

149

this video I went for a walk I made a coffee

150

I made another coffee I went to the toilet

151

I hung out with the team a little bit

152

I chatted to my housemate I did everything I possibly could to avoid doing the thing

153

which which is like sitting down and actually filming this video.

154

Similarly, let's say it hits 5 p .m and I'm like, all right, 5 p .m to 6 .30 is my gym slot.

155

And it hits 5 p .m.

156

And I'm like, oh, I know I should go to the gym.

157

And I know my previous self told me that I'm gonna go to the gym right now, but there's some sort of resistance,

158

some kind of emotional blocker that's making me feel, oh, I don't really wanna go to the gym.

159

And this is where things like motivation and discipline come in.

160

A very disciplined person would say, you know what?

161

It's 5 p .m and I'm gonna go to the gym regardless of how I feel about it, let's just go.

162

I admire those sorts of people who have that much discipline.

163

A very motivated person, although motivation waxes and wanes, would say, I feel really motivated to go to the gym right now.

164

The way I think of it is I prefer something

165

that I call the unblock method that I talk about in the book, which is basically about identifying what are the emotional hurdles

166

that are holding me back from doing this thing

167

that I have said that I wanted to do and trying to understand those emotions, trying to name the emotion,

168

trying to reduce it, trying to overcome it and trying to act in the face of that emotion.

169

But ultimately when all is said and done, generally we just need to get started with doing the task

170

because generally getting started is way harder than actually keeping on going.

171

All right, so that was step number five let's move on to step number six

172

which is to stay focused

173

so at this point we're sitting down to study for the chemistry exam

174

or go to the gym or film the video whatever the thing might be

175

and at this point the key thing

176

that you need to do for your productivity to really level up your productivity is honestly

177

it's really simple it's to just stay focused on doing the thing

178

that you said you were going to do

179

and not getting distracted not trying to multitask not trying to task switch just doing the thing

180

there's some evidence i saw recently

181

that like apparently the average worker wastes 28 of their day in terms of efficiency

182

because they're trying to task switch or because they're getting distracted.

183

Over the course of 10 years, that's a whole like three years.

184

Over the course of a 40 year career, that is a whole decade that we've wasted because we're getting distracted.

185

That's just an insane amount of time to waste.

186

And so you can level up your productivity by quite a lot by just getting good at focusing on the thing.

187

This might involve turning your phone off or chucking it across the room or having it face down, out of sight, out of mind.

188

It might involve turning on a focus mode on your computer so you don't see notifications.

189

It might involve putting headphones in if you're in a coffee shop

190

or if you're in a coworking space or something so that people don't necessarily interrupt you.

191

Deep Work by Cal Newport is basically an entire book talking about how to focus.

192

And so if you struggle with focus and you know personally that this is the step that you struggle with, then seek out some books,

193

seek out some resources on how to stay better focused because

194

if you can stay more focused again you're massively boosting your productivity.

195

Now we come to step number seven

196

which is more of a kind of guiding philosophy throughout this whole system

197

which is find a way to make it feel good.

198

I'm going to do another little plug for my book feel good productivity here

199

because that's literally what the book is about

200

that the secret to productivity is not discipline it's joy and

201

when we can find a way to make our work feel good

202

when we can find a way for our work to generate positive emotions then we become more energized

203

and the fact that we're more energized means we're more productive we're more creative we're less stressed

204

but it also means we have way more energy to give to the truly important things that matter to us.

205

And so the trick here really is to ask yourself that question, what can I do to make my work feel good?

206

For me, that involves putting all the Lord of the Rings music in the background while I'm working.

207

It involves maybe going to a coffee shop and treating it like more of an adventure.

208

It involves reducing the seriousness with which I approach the work so that I feel like the stakes are lower.

209

And generally when the stakes are lower, it allows us to approach our work with more of a feeling of play.

210

Can I find a way to bring people into the thing?

211

Can I do coworking sessions with my friends or with my team?

212

Can I do

213

Zoom coworking sessions?

214

There's this thing called London Writer's Salon

215

that does daily co -working four times a day writer's hours

216

where you get on a Zoom call with like a couple of hundred other people

217

and they share like a little bit of motivation around like five minutes at the start, five minutes at the end.

218

Everyone just works for the other 50 minutes.

219

It just makes it way more fun.

220

It makes the work feel more good than just sitting on my desk, grinding away, doing it by myself.

221

So at whatever stage you are of the productivity journey, ask yourself that question, that guiding philosophy,

222

how can I change my approach to this work such that it actually feels good?

223

Right.

224

Step number eight is to then recharge your energy.

225

So you've done all this stuff, but now the main thing that you want to do is to take appropriate breaks

226

so that you don't don't burn yourself out.

227

Now this involves conserving your energy during the workday and also recharging your energy at the end of the workday.

228

And so what might that look like?

229

It might look like taking a walking meeting rather than sitting down at your desk to take a meeting.

230

If you can, it might involve going for lunch, but instead of sitting down somewhere for lunch in front of your desk,

231

doing the work, getting a sandwich or something, and then going for a little walk.

232

It might involve taking a break every hour for five minutes, 10, 15 minutes, and going to get a cup of coffee,

233

going to the toilet, chatting to some people, doing some stretches, doing whatever it takes to recharge your energy.

234

Productivity is to an extent about time management.

235

Like you have to create these containers of time.

236

And if you don't, then you know, obviously time is a finite resource, but even though time is a finite resource,

237

energy is a renewable resource and we can renew our energy throughout the workday

238

and at the end of the workday by doing things that are appropriately recharging.

239

Now, one easy way of doing this is to just make a list.

240

And on one side of the list, ask yourself, what are the things that genuinely recharge your energy when you do them?

241

And then on the other side of the list, ask yourself, what are the things you find yourself doing when you are drained of energy?

242

So for example, for me, what are the things that recharge my energy?

243

Well, going for a walk recharges my energy.

244

Going to the gym often recharges my energy.

245

Reading a book, playing the guitar.

246

These are the things that recharge my energy.

247

But when I'm actually drained, what are the things I end up doing?

248

Scrolling TikTok, scrolling Instagram, scrolling

249

Twitter, watching random YouTube videos those are the things I find myself doing, but it's weird because those things don't actually recharge my energy.

250

And so this whole idea of recharging involves sort of nudging our behavior towards the things

251

that we know give us energy rather than the things

252

that we feel like we can only do when we don't have any energy.

253

And this energy thing is kind of weird because generally for an activity to be recharging, it does require some input of energy.

254

Like if you're completely drained, then going for a walk would be the last thing that you want to do.

255

But counterintuitively going for a walk is actually going to generate

256

way more energy than just plonking out on the sofa and scrolling through TikTok.

257

Now, there's another really great way of recharging your energy and that involves learning new things.

258

And learning new things for me, I find to be an incredible way of generating more energy,

259

which gives me more energy to give to the other important things in life.

260

But also learning new things and expanding my knowledge and my understanding is generally a core value of mine,

261

which is why I'm thrilled to say that this video is very kindly sponsored by Brilliant.

262

And Brilliant is the best way to learn maths, data science and computer science interactively.

263

I've been using

264

Brilliant for learning since 2019.

265

They've got incredible interactive courses on all these different topics, and it's really built for busy people.

266

If you're doing a lot of things in your life, but you do want to make time for this learning stuff,

267

then even in just 15 minutes a day, you can make meaningful progress in advancing the skills of these subjects that you care about.

268

For me personally, my favorite courses on Brilliant are the ones in the computer science category, because 10 years ago now,

269

damn, long time ago, when I was applying to medical school, I was actually torn between medicine and computer science,

270

and I ended going with medicine but i always had a part of me

271

that was like ah i kind of wish i'd learned computer science as well just

272

because it's really cool and because i enjoy tech and coding

273

and computers and so brilliant has given me a great introduction to computer science

274

and the fundamentals of programming and algorithms and an introduction to python

275

and the way they teach these topics is so engaging

276

and interactive that it genuinely makes it fun it makes it feel good

277

and it makes it way more energizing to do a course on brilliant than it does to do the alternative

278

which would be to scroll something on social media.

279

Now, if you're interested in programming in particular, like I am, then they've got a brand new thinking in code course,

280

which helps you think about how code can be used to solve real world problems.

281

And one of the skills

282

that I most attribute to any of the success I've had in life is learning how to code

283

when I was quite young, because learning how to code changes the way that you look at the world.

284

It helps you see the problems in the world

285

and helps you realize what are the things that you can build solutions for.

286

And all of the businesses

287

I've built over the last like 15 years of my life trying to make money on the internet

288

and building businesses have fundamentally been downstream of learning to code, including this YouTube channel.

289

Now, if you're interested in trying everything that

290

Brilliant has to offer, then head over to brilliant .org forward slash Ali Abdaal

291

and that link will give you a completely free 30 day trial.

292

And if you're one of the first 200 people to go to that link, you'll also get 20 % off

293

Brilliant's annual premium subscription.

294

So thank you so much

295

Brilliant for sponsoring this video.

296

But the final step in this nine step framework is to reflect.

297

And this might involve doing something like a daily reflection, which is like, how did my day go?

298

Like, did I do my daily highlight?

299

Did I do the thing that mattered to me?

300

To what extent did I follow my intentions?

301

It might involve doing something like a weekly review, which is super helpful and reflecting on things like what were the top wins from last week?

302

What were the biggest challenges?

303

What were my biggest learning points?

304

What are the top three things I want to get done next week?

305

Have I blocked out time in the calendar for doing those things?

306

And actually doing that even just takes 20 minutes, half an hour every single week.

307

It's just absolutely game changing and does move the needle for making sure

308

that the things that we're going to do next week are actually aligned with the direction that we want to go.

309

And then this reflection piece might involve doing something like a quarterly review every three months, taking a look at the goals sheet and being like,

310

hey, are these goals still the goals that I want?

311

I actually want to actively work towards because we're all pretty good at setting like annual goals, but then we don't look at those annual goals.

312

We don't revisit them.

313

Whereas revisiting them every quarter is remarkably helpful.

314

And I always find that when I do that, I realize, oh, you know, that goal that I set six months ago in January,

315

honestly, that's no longer relevant.

316

And so it doesn't really make sense for me to continue to work towards that thing, even though it's no longer relevant to my life.

317

Like people think that productivity is like this grindy type thing, but actually a lot thinkers,

318

philosophers, psychologists have found over the years that meaning and fulfillment comes from the pursuit of goals that feel meaningful to us.

319

And so if we can find a way to figure out what are the things that bring us meaning,

320

and for the record, they don't have to be work things, they can be spending time with your family, all that kind of stuff.

321

But like defining what are the things that bring us meaning, and then just intentionally doing those things,

322

that is what gives us a healthy, balanced, holistic life.

323

And then there are a few optional extras you can do on top of that.

324

You can learn to do stuff faster.

325

This is sort of the philosophy of efficiency.

326

You You can learn keyboard shortcuts.

327

You can learn to type faster, all of this.

328

You can use funkier apps that like make it 1 % more efficient for you to do something.

329

Secondly, you can learn to add systems for leverage.

330

You can use AI tools and other tools to boost your own productivity by using a system to leverage your own inputs.

331

You could potentially even add people to the mix.

332

If you have enough money, you can delegate things to people.

333

If you're a business owner, you absolutely should delegate things to people.

334

Fourthly, you can capture open loops.

335

This is David Allen's book, Getting Things Done.

336

It's all about capturing open loops in our mind into a task management system of some sort

337

and then clarifying those tasks and organizing them and then doing them

338

and you can do stuff like building a second brain

339

which is the book by my friend tiago forte

340

which is all about building a personal knowledge management system for digital note taking

341

so that you can maximize your creative output like these are all really good things for productivity

342

but i feel like these are all add -ons to the main thing

343

and the main thing is basically figure out where you want to go make time for those things sit down

344

and actually do the thing do it consistently for a long time

345

and then reflect appropriately on like how you're getting there

346

and whether you want to change direction along the way now

347

if you enjoyed this video then i would I'd love it if you could pre -order my book, please.

348

There'll be loads of bonuses, link down below.

349

And if you wanna learn more about how to manage your time and my favorite method for time management,

350

I call it the Trident Technique or the Trident Method, that'll be linked in the video right over here.

351

So thank you so much for watching and I'll see you in the next one.

352

Bye -bye.

Грамматика в этом видео

Конструкции, которые говорящий использует чаще всего, с точными словами из видео:

Конструкция	В видео
Present Perfect Continuous have/has been + -ing — действие началось раньше и продолжается	you've been procrastinating · I've been procrastinating · I've been using
Present Perfect have/has + причастие прошедшего времени — прошлое действие, важное сейчас	have read · I've personally distilled · we've made
Пассивный залог be + причастие прошедшего времени — важно, что происходит, а не кто это делает	being absolutely obsessed · should be completely wedded · be linked
Придаточные определительные who / which + предложение — уточнение о человеке или предмете	three, which is · Wednesdays, which was · four, which is

Произношение, на которое стоит обратить внимание

Говорящий использует 99 сокращённых и редуцированных форм, например you're, don't, I'm. Произносите их коротко, так, как слышите.

Звуки «th»: mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/, algorithm /ˈælɡəɹɪðm̩/, thrill /θɹɪl/
Звуки «sh» и «zh»: emotion /ɪˈməʊ.ʃən/, examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/, motivation /ˈmoʊ.tə.veɪ.ʃən/, capture /ˈkæp.(t)ʃɚ/, essentially /ɪˈsɛnʃəli/
Длинные слова — следите за ударением: productivity /ˌpɹɒdʌkˈtɪvəti/, examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/, motivation /ˈmoʊ.tə.veɪ.ʃən/, essentially /ɪˈsɛnʃəli/, potentially /pəˈtɛnʃ(ə)li/

Звуки, трудные для русскоязычных:

/w/ — губы округлены, это не /v/: framework /ˈfɹeɪm.wɜːk/, worker /ˈwɝ.kɚ/, whereas /(h)wɛɹˈæz/, wisdom /ˈwɪzdəm/, sweat /swɛt/
/h/ — лёгкий выдох, а не русское «х»: helpful /ˈhɛlp.fl̩/, highlight /ˈhaɪˌlaɪt/, horizon /həˈɹaɪ.zən/, whereas /(h)wɛɹˈæz/, headphones /ˈhɛdfoʊnz/
Звонкие согласные в конце слова — не оглушайте их: involve /ɪnˈvɑlv/, productive /pɹəˈdʌk.tɪv/, intentions /ɪnˈtɛnʃənz/, interactive /ˌɪn.tɚˈæk.tɪv/, leverage /ˈlɛv.(ə.)ɹɪd͡ʒ/

Как заниматься с этим видео

Прослушайте всё видео один раз молча и выпишите незнакомые слова.
Повторяйте предложение за предложением на обычной скорости, пока ваш ритм не совпадёт с ритмом говорящего.
Запишите себя и сравните с оригиналом, обращая внимание на такие слова, как productivity, involve, calendar.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
