Hey friends, welcome back to the channel.
2
So over the last decade, I have experimented with dozens and dozens of strategies for managing my time.
3
And I've been doing that because time management is, I think, one of the most important skills that we can develop and build in the world today.
4
And it's because fundamentally time is our single most valuable non -renewable resource.
5
We can always make more money, but we can never make more time.
6
And so really the skill of time management is in being able to make the best use of that time, not necessarily for only doing productive things, but instead to use that time intentionally and effectively.
7
So in this video, I want to talk you through my Trident method, which is a sort of three pronged method for time management.
8
And I'll show you exactly how I use these different methods in my life to manage my own time.
9
And in the video description, I've also linked completely for free the templates
10
that you can use to incorporate this into your life if you would like as well.
11
So this aspect of the strategy was a total game changer when I actually tried bullet journaling last year.
12
Now bullet journaling is a somewhat fancy pen and paper method of productivity, but it's sort of been co -opted over the years by artists
13
and people making ridiculously fancy and beautiful looking bullet journal spreads.
14
And I was super enamored by this and thought, you know what, I'm going to try the bullet journal method.
15
And so for the final four months of 2022, I painstakingly bullet journaled basically every day.
16
And I sunk so many hours into my bullet journal method.
17
And it was really good.
18
But there was one aspect of the bullet journal method that completely changed the game for my time management.
19
And that was this view, the year at a glance.
20
Now, the point of this view is that you split up the entire year into these different columns.
21
And so you end up having 12 columns that show the different months
22
and then one to 31 down the side that show you the different dates.
23
And so what you end up with is these 366 blocks.
24
Now, when I did this, when I did the bullet journal technique, this immediately gave me incredible insight
25
and clarity into what the rest of my year was gonna look like
26
because this is not really a view that we see particularly often.
27
If, for example, you use Google Calendar or something, you tend to be stuck in the weekly view or in the monthly view.
28
And even if you have like a physical annual calendar, you tend to flip the pages and
29
so you never really see your entire year just laid out on a single page or two pages.
30
So in January of this year, I decided I wanted to have a more digital way of having this kind of view in my life.
31
And so I decided to just make a Google Sheet out of it.
32
I think these days it's too easy to default to fancy apps and like, oh, what's the latest thing here?
33
But I thought, you know what?
34
A spreadsheet just does the job totally fine.
35
And so I literally just went through on Google Sheets and I created one of these year at a glance templates.
36
And this is what the blank version of this looks like.
37
So as you can see, we've got the months down the top.
38
We have color -coded the months in like pretty colors and we've got the weekends color -coded as well.
39
And this is the template that you can download.
40
Just hit the link in the video description.
41
It's completely free and you can duplicate this into your own Google Sheet account if you would really like to.
42
And this is what my version of this actually looks like.
43
And I use this in two specific ways to manage my time.
44
Firstly, it's really helpful for zooming out
45
and getting a bird's eye view of my entire year so I can use it to plan my life.
46
I'm filming this video, for example, in April, but I already know that this is the stuff that's kind of going on in May.
47
And in June, I'm going to Austin for a bit
48
and then I've got this block of time to go on an adventure with some friends.
49
And then I'm going on a retreat to LA later in June.
50
And this is so helpful to get an idea of A, where things are, and B, it then allows me to plan things like weekend group trips with friends
51
or being able to plan holidays in advance so I can block out the time.
52
I then reflect those changes in my actual Google Calendar so the team knows exactly what's going on in my life.
53
And I found this to be a ridiculously effective way of managing my time on a macro scale.
54
And to make this easier to deal with, what you can do is when the months are gone, you can just right click, you can hide those columns.
55
And now it's just way easier to see exactly what's going on in a given month
56
and then what's going on for the rest of the year.
57
So that's how I manage my time on the level of the whole year.
58
Let's now move on to the level of a single week, but I've got to go somewhere right now.
59
Be right back.
60
Good morning.
61
It's a new day and we are talking about component number two, which is all about ideal week planning.
62
Now here's the context behind this.
63
So essentially, we all have these goals and plans and stuff that we want to get done.
64
Now, please don't cancel me for saying this, but there are literally just 24 hours in a day
65
and we all have to decide how we're going to make the most use of that time.
66
If for example, you have three personal assistants and five private chefs and stuff, then obviously you will have more of those 24 hours
67
that are free to do things
68
that you want to do rather than do things like laundry and cooking and cleaning and stuff.
69
But fundamentally those 24 hours or 168 hours a week are basically the same for everyone.
70
And assuming you're sleeping for eight hours every night, we all basically have 112 hours in a given week that we can play with.
71
And the point of component number two is
72
that we want to define the ideal week, i .e our absolute ideal allocation of those 112 hours per week.
73
And this is a method I've been using for the last eight months or so, ever since I started working with my CEO coach, Eric Partaker.
74
And Eric has worked with a couple of hundred CEOs of really high growth companies and me.
75
And this is one of the methods that he asks all of his clients to do.
76
And apparently it's a method that always gets some results.
77
And it's certainly gotten me a lot of results over the last eight months.
78
And so instead of you having to pay several thousand dollars an hour for Eric's time, I'm just going to teach you the method straight up.
79
And it's actually fairly straightforward what to do all it involves is going on google calendar
80
and it involves creating a new calendar so
81
that you've got a completely fresh slate where you can do your ideal week planning cool
82
so i've now created ali's ideal week
83
and now you can see it's shown up in my google calendar right here
84
and this is completely free everyone can use google calendar you
85
don't have to pay a penny ever at all now at
86
the moment my life is a little bit of a mess
87
because of the youtuber academy happening and
88
because of all the book stuff going on
89
and all the meetings with the editors and agents and all of
90
that fun stuff and so what can often happen is
91
that i actually don't have that ideal lunch hour in which I'd like to cook a healthy lunch.
92
And so instead, a product that I've been finding a lot of use of is in fact, Huel, who are very kindly sponsoring this video.
93
Now, I've actually been a paying customer of Huel since 2017 and since my penultimate year of medical school.
94
And actually, when I first started this YouTube channel six years ago, I've been taking Huel fairly regularly.
95
And there's broadly two types of Huel that I really enjoy.
96
The first one is Huel Black, which is often what I have in the mornings as part of my morning routine.
97
It's 40 grams of protein, 400 calories.
98
I just add water, blend it up in the Nutribullet blender thingy.
99
And then it turns into a genuinely tasty smoothie
100
that has all of the right macros and all of the micronutrients that I might need for the day.
101
And the other Huel product that I get a lot of value out of is the Huel Ready to Drink.
102
And again, I've been getting deliveries of this ever since.
103
I don't quite think this started in 2017 because this wasn't a thing in 2017.
104
I think like since 2020, this has been a thing and I've been getting regular deliveries of these.
105
And it's basically a whole meal that's 100 % nutritionally complete in a single bottle.
106
And if on a given day, I don't have time to have a proper lunch, then the Huel Ready to Drink is an absolutely fantastic lifesaver.
107
My favorite flavor is banana.
108
I think that's the best one, but all of the others are pretty tasty as well.
109
Now, the best way of trying these, I'd say, is the variety pack because it gives you like three bottles of all of the four different flavors.
110
If you're interested in trying out any of these Huel products
111
including Huel ready to drink then do hit the link in the video description
112
and if you use that link then you will get two free products along with your Huel order.
113
You will get a free t -shirt which is genuinely good
114
and it's nice and elastic -y and like makes you look hench
115
which is a fantastic like quality t -shirt
116
and you'll also get a shaker so that
117
if you don't want to use a like Nutribullet blendery type
118
thing you can just like put the thing put the powder into the water
119
and the shaker shake it up and now you have a nutritionally complete meal that's basically ready to go.
120
So thank you so much Huel for sponsoring this video
121
and the point here is
122
that basically i want to define what are the containers of
123
time where in an absolutely ideal week not necessarily a perfect week
124
but in an ideal ordinary week how would i choose to be spending my time
125
so for example i've decided
126
that like in my ideal week monday through to friday i'd like to wake up at seven o 'clock
127
and then i'd like to have the first hour of the day for my morning routine
128
and this is the thing i'd like to happen every day
129
and so i'm going to repeat this daily
130
and i'm going to give it this yellow color because
131
that like signifies the sunrise or something like that
132
and you know what why not add an emoji to it just to make this a bit more fun.
133
So we can see that this has now shown up across my ideal week.
134
And because I want to get my eight hours of sleep, I want to aim to be asleep by 11pm.
135
And therefore I want to be starting to get ready for bed around 10, doing my reading, nighttime routine, all that fun stuff.
136
And I'm going to repeat this every single day.
137
And I'm going to give this a lavender color to signify nighttime.
138
Fantastic.
139
So we now have a block for waking up and we have a block for sleeping.
140
And now I can figure out what I want my ideal ordinary week to look like in the rest of the time.
141
I've decided that in my dream world from eight till nine every morning, I'd like to do breakfast and journaling.
142
And in that block, I could maybe have a breakfast meeting with someone or maybe go for a walk.
143
And then I want my actual quote work day to start at 9am every day.
144
And so based on my own energy levels, how would I like my ideal work day to go?
145
Now, obviously, this is going to vary a bit depending on how much control you have over your own schedule.
146
For example, when I worked as a doctor, I just had my entire block being like nine to five work day or whatever this shift was.
147
And then I would just have to do whatever just happened on the day, I couldn't quite decide, you know what, these are my four hours of deep work time.
148
But as an entrepreneur, I can decide how I spend my time.
149
And actually increasingly in jobs, especially in knowledge work, you actually do have the ability to talk to your boss or your manager and say, hey, this is how I work best.
150
I would love it if we can kind of find a way to fit my calendar around this.
151
And then obviously based on the needs of the business and of the team or whatever, things will have to adjust accordingly.
152
And so I've added in the blocks for the weekly team meeting, the weekly team lunch, weekly content squad meeting, and my two meetings a week with Angus, who's my general manager.
153
And I've added in the blocks for when I want to have lunch roughly
154
and the blocks for when I want to have dinner on weekdays.
155
And this is already very helpful because now I can see what is the other time that I have to play with.
156
And then I can adapt this ideal ordinary week based on how I'd actually wanna spend that time.
157
And so Tuesdays to Fridays, for example, I wanna have several hours in the morning as a deep work block for writing.
158
And in my ideal week, I'd like to do a gym session Tuesday afternoon, Thursday afternoon, and maybe Saturday morning if I happen to be free on the Saturday morning.
159
Now, the other main thing I need to do in my workday is filming.
160
And so I'm gonna put in my various filming blocks into the calendar.
161
And obviously this workday schedule is very specific for me
162
because basically all I have to do in my job is writing
163
and filming but if your job is a little bit different than
164
that then maybe you might have a block for checking slack
165
or checking emails and you might do that once or twice a day so that you're batching those
166
interruptible activities
167
and you're not just spending your entire day being like derailed
168
by all the various emails coming your way alternatively maybe you have more meetings than i do
169
and therefore you have more meetings in the calendar at all
170
the different blocks the point is mold this to whatever works for you
171
but the point is we want to create these containers within
172
our ideal week where in an ideal ordinary week we would be intentionally using our time in way
173
and what you can base these containers on is firstly what are the constraints of your job
174
but also how are your own energy levels like
175
if you're managing your own energy do you do your best creative work in the morning
176
or in the evening do you have a slump after lunch
177
and therefore maybe you want to take calls then rather than do particularly deep work
178
and the great thing about this and what i do is
179
that i also intentionally schedule in the personal life and relationship stuff
180
that i want to put into my ideal week
181
so for example in my case ideally every thursday evening is date night
182
so i know that i have that fully scheduled in the calendar
183
and now the rest of my life can fit around that.
184
And then on Monday evenings as well, I'd like to go to a kickboxing class and have a mini date night as well.
185
In my ideal week, Tuesday evenings would, for example, be a social dinner with friends
186
because I'm trying to learn how to cook
187
and I like having friends over and
188
so I've decided just by default every Tuesday evening is going to be free
189
so that I've got an easy slot where
190
if a friend is visiting London or if I want to invite people over just by default, I don't have to think too hard about it.
191
It's a Tuesday evening and conveniently the cleaner rocks up on a Wednesday
192
and so I can leave the kitchen in a mess and then the cleaner will sort it out.
193
That's fantastic stuff.
194
I might decide on Wednesday evenings by default I'd like to drive home to have dinner with my mom
195
and grandma and I might decide to leave weekends completely free for friends
196
and family and other things in life that are happening.
197
Now having this laid out in front of me is incredibly useful.
198
And this is in fact the system that I follow basically every week.
199
And then obviously there's other stuff that kind of derails this sometimes.
200
Sometimes there's an urgent meeting that can't be missed.
201
Or sometimes I have to go pick up my mom from the airport and then a filming block gets derailed.
202
But the point is I have defined the parameters of my ideal ordinary week.
203
And now I don't need to be fully wedded to them, but at least I've actively decided that on average, on a Wednesday morning, I'd like to be doing a deep work block of writing
204
because that's the main thing that moves my business forward.
205
And it makes sense to do that in the morning while I have more creative energy.
206
Similarly, the fact that I've basically decided that mondays
207
and thursdays are going to be date night that that means
208
that those evenings are sacred and like
209
if someone says hey do you want to hang out
210
and it's monday
211
or thursday night then my default option is no sorry i can't make it can you do tuesday instead
212
or friday instead and if it's super super urgent
213
and it's like an internet friend visiting london
214
and they're only here on a monday then i can say to my girlfriend hey do you mind
215
if we switch date night to tuesday or whatever that week
216
so the point is this kind of system allows a level of flexibility
217
and i've found that over the last eight months of using it it's just freed up
218
so much headspace from my life having to think about these things, because now at least I have a default structure that I can follow.
219
The other cool thing about this is that it really shows where genuinely where is the free time.
220
Like I might decide, you know what, I'm really interested in the guitar, I want to get better at the guitar.
221
And therefore, I'd like to have one guitar lesson every week.
222
Now, the question is, where am I gonna, where am I going to fit this one guitar lesson every week?
223
I have these 112 hours that I can play with like everyone else does.
224
And so I might decide, you know what, I'm going to finish work a little bit earlier on a Wednesday to have my guitar lesson, but I can do that because I'm an entrepreneur and I control my own time.
225
But if this is what my calendar looked like
226
and I was only getting home from my actual job at like 6 30 every day
227
and I knew
228
that I wanted to have a social evening with friends once
229
a week go home for dinner with my parents once a week
230
and have date night twice a week it's like I actually don't have
231
that much time to play with to fit in a guitar lesson and
232
that means I don't need to beat myself up about it
233
I might think you know what at some point in my life
234
when I have more free time on the calendar I will fit in
235
that guitar lesson but it's just not a priority right now
236
and what I love about this ideal ordinary week exercise is
237
that it forces us to decide what are the priorities in life.
238
It means we can't say, oh, I don't have the time.
239
We can instead say, I'm choosing not to make the time.
240
I'm currently choosing not to make the time in my life for guitar lessons or singing lessons.
241
And I'm currently choosing in my life to only go to the gym two
242
or three times a week because I've decided that that's what the priority is.
243
In the future, maybe once my book is done and I have fewer writing blocks, or maybe I decide, you know what, I want to take a break from filming four times a week for a month and see what happens.
244
I'll free up more time.
245
But the point is, I now know how much time I have to play with.
246
But until I did this exercise eight months ago, A, I would not have known that
247
and I was kind of taking on too many responsibilities
248
and too many too much stuff and then feeling overwhelmed
249
and b on a given day I didn't really have a default list of things
250
that I wanted to do and
251
so I'd have to think every single day I was like
252
okay how do I want to spend my time today and that's just quite a lot of thinking.
253
Now this is how this actually translates to what my ideal week looks like in real life.
254
So right now we're in the midst of our part -time YouTuber academy
255
so Mondays are literally taken up entirely from with PTYA stuff except an exercise block in the morning.
256
Tuesday morning, Wednesday morning, Friday morning, Saturday morning and Thursday afternoons are all book time because I'm in the final stages of my book.
257
And so I need to make the blocks for that.
258
I have various meetings in the calendar.
259
So we've moved our team meetings to Tuesday.
260
So we've got our team meeting and our content meeting on a Tuesday afternoon.
261
We're doing a team training thing with our coach, Eric.
262
And so that happens on Wednesday afternoon.
263
And this week I've had various lunches with various team members
264
because I like to have a one -on -one lunch with
265
every member of the team once every couple of months or so.
266
Similarly, this week I did a podcast with my internet friend, Seihel Bloom.
267
So that happened on a Tuesday and then we went out to a restaurant.
268
So you can kind of see how this calendar evolves over time.
269
And it evolves depending on what's happening in a given week.
270
But this week, I'm broadly stuck to the calendar.
271
I've done book time when I intended to.
272
Currently, I'm in a filming block, which is why I'm filming this video.
273
And then later today, I've got book time for the rest of the afternoon
274
so I can focus on making those final edits.
275
And it's just so liberating to have this kind of system.
276
I'll put the template for the Google Calendar Ideal Week if you want to check it out down in the video description.
277
Again, it's completely free.
278
You just click the link and you can download the template.
279
And if you try any of the strategies in this video, I'd love to hear how you got on.
280
Please can you drop me an email, ali at aliabdhal .com.
281
I read absolutely everything, even if I can't reply to everything
282
and I'd just love to hear kind of what are the strategies
283
and tips you found helpful and maybe you can even leave a comment down below
284
if you try any of this stuff out.
285
Again, I'd love to hear what are the pros, what are the cons, what are the ways you've adapted it to fit your own system and your own life.
286
All right, the final component of the Trident Method is what we do on a given day.
287
So we've talked about annual planning
288
and what our annual life plan year at a glance looks like
289
and we've talked about at the level of the ideal week
290
how we're trying to make the most of these 112 hours in the week
291
that we have to play with and how we can use them more intentionally.
292
And so now the third component of the Trident Method is what we're doing on a given day.
293
And so the way I manage my time on a given day is broadly I follow what is in the calendar.
294
And again, having the calendar just makes it so easy.
295
It is a Thursday right now and I just literally follow whatever blocks I've put in my calendar.
296
And generally on the weekend before, I will look forward at my calendar for the upcoming week
297
and I will create blocks of time for the things that I wanna do.
298
And so for example, let's say I'm looking over to next week, I've already got a lot of this stuff penciled in because it's recurring events or it's ideal week stuff.
299
And because I know that basically every morning I want to do book stuff
300
and every afternoon I want to do kind of filming stuff
301
and I want to go to the gym two or three times, I just need to add in those blocks.
302
And normally I'd have those in as like repeated blocks that's just in every week.
303
But right now things are very derailed thanks to the YouTuber Academy.
304
And so I'm kind of going week by week.
305
But keeping in mind, what does my ideal week actually look like?
306
So for example, right now 7am badminton is not happening.
307
So let's decline this one.
308
Let's create a book time block on Wednesday morning.
309
Let's create a book time block on Friday morning.
310
This app is fantastical, by the way.
311
It's just a fancy calendar version of Google Calendar.
312
The nice thing is you can duplicate events.
313
So it makes it super easy to like literally hit alt and then drag.
314
And now I can just duplicate an event rather than having to recreate it like I would in Google Calendar.
315
Let's put in my filming blocks.
316
And now this is currently a bit of a problem
317
because I don't have enough time for exercise here
318
so i'm gonna have to create some exercise blocks
319
but then genuinely on the level of day planning let's say
320
it was monday i would literally just follow whatever i have planned
321
so i know for example at eight o 'clock i'm going
322
to be doing my content planning for the session of the
323
part -time youtuber academy i've got my call with the exec students at nine
324
and then another one at five i've got more ptya prep
325
happening from 10 till 12 i have a youtuber's mastermind
326
that i'm part of i have the two hour keynote
327
that i deliver on a monday and then i'm going for aftar
328
and dinner at a friend's house that evening and
329
so on one level that's just what i do on a given day i just follow whatever's in the calendar
330
but there's another thing that i do and again this is one those things
331
that i've started doing for the last eight months ever since starting working with eric
332
and it's basically defining three daily quests daily quests i mean he calls it daily number ones
333
or whatever i call it daily quests because it's terminology from world of warcraft
334
and basically the idea is
335
that in the three most important domains of life i have three quests
336
that i'm doing every day and that's in work in health
337
and in relationships
338
and we've actually recently started a slack group where we do this with the whole team
339
so that we've got some level of accountability on this and
340
so for example today my health daily quest is to go to the gym after my book squad call.
341
And then I make sure it's scheduled in the calendar.
342
So I already have my exercise block scheduled in the calendar after my call with the book team.
343
My work daily quest is I want to film stuff, which is literally what I'm doing right now.
344
And that's already in the calendar.
345
And then my relationship thing is that I want to call my grandma.
346
And calling my grandma is not yet in the calendar.
347
And so I'm literally just going to add it in here as a task.
348
Call Nani.
349
And that will show up in my calendar.
350
And now I know that that's going to get done
351
because I look at my calendar multiple times a day because my calendar tells me literally what I'm doing.
352
In fact, you know what?
353
I'm going to be a good grandson.
354
I'm going to call my grandma straight after filming this video
355
and I can literally drag that task straight onto the calendar
356
and it's very convenient because it overlaps with the events
357
and it means that I again ensure that the things that I actually want to do are in the calendar.
358
Now this method of like just literally running your life based on a calendar is completely game -changing.
359
I've been doing it in various forms for the last 10 years
360
and before I started literally living my life based on my calendar I was so disorganized, I was so chaotic but now that I live my life based on my calendar and on the level of annual,
361
on the level of weekly and monthly and on the level of daily I just follow the intention I've already set.
362
That's been one of the main drivers of my productivity for the last 10 years.
363
And specifically this trident method thing
364
that I've been doing for the last eight months since working with Eric in terms of the annual thing, the weekly thing, and the daily thing has been hugely helpful in moving me forward.
365
And even though I'm, I think at this point, one of the most followed productivity experts in the world, like these three strategies are just have just been genuinely game
366
changing in terms of helping me make the most of my time and helping me boost my time management skills.
367
Because as we've already talked about, time is the most valuable resource that we have.
368
We can always make more money, but we can never make more time.
369
And if we can use our time more intentionally, again, it doesn't have to be about being more productive with every single hour.
370
It's about just being more intentional with it.
371
Intentionally calling my grandma, intentionally making the time for date night or for having dinner with my mom.
372
And the more I find that I define these containers and then actually follow them, the more I find that like life is balanced and fulfilled and meaningful and I'm happy.
373
And then it's like, I don't have to stress about things
374
because I know that the important things are getting done because fundamentally they are on the calendar.
375
Now, if you enjoyed this video and you'd like some more time management tips, then check out this video over here, which is 10 specific other strategies that I've found helpful over the last decade for managing my time.
376
Thank you so much for watching.

378
Bye -bye.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
