Hey friends, welcome back to the channel.
2
So over the last 15 years of being absolutely obsessed with productivity,
3
I have read dozens and dozens and dozens of productivity books and loads more on Kindle, but this is quite a lot of stuff.
4
And so in this video, I wanna break all of these down into a nine step framework.
5
These are the nine steps that I've personally distilled from all of these different books and all the research I've done.
6
And if you just follow these nine steps, these are the main things that are gonna absolutely move the needle for your own productivity.
7
All right, step one is to set your goals.
8
This basically involves thinking about where you actually want to go and what is the destination that you're aiming for,
9
because having a destination in mind helps you go on your journey and helps give you some sort of direction.
10
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,
11
but it does mean that if you really want to be productive,
12
and to me, productivity is about using our time intentionally and effectively to work towards the things that matter to us,
13
we need to actually define what are in fact the things that matter to us.
14
Now, there's various books that talk about dozens and dozens of different ways of doing this.
15
The way that I sort of synthesize all of these is into just three simple steps.
16
Think about the long -term, think about the medium -term and think about the short -term.
17
So the long -term time horizon is basically like stuff like, what do you want written on your gravestone?
18
The medium -term we're thinking sort of three to five years out,
19
like where do I possibly maybe potentially want to be three or five years down the line?
20
Now, the crucial thing for all this stuff is
21
that you don't need to have perfect crystal clarity on this
22
and your goals and your time horizons
23
and stuff are absolutely gonna change over time
24
but it's really helpful to know right now where do I think I want to be
25
so that I can start moving in that direction
26
because as they say it's much easier to steer a ship that's moving than to steer a ship that's stationary
27
and then the short -term time horizon
28
which is basically what are my goals for the year
29
and in fact all three of these methods are the final chapter of my own book feel good productivity
30
which you can check out down below it's available for pre -order with a bunch of bonuses
31
but that'll be linked down below but essentially the way
32
that I think about this short -term time horizon is the
33
12 -month celebration in each of the different areas of my life, in work, in health and relationships,
34
what do I want to be celebrating 12 months from now?
35
Let's say I'm having dinner with a friend and we're celebrating the progress we've made.
36
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.
37
Maybe on the work front, I'm celebrating hitting a revenue milestone with my business.
38
Maybe on the relationships front, I'm celebrating getting engaged or getting a girlfriend or whatever the thing might be.
39
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,
40
am I clear on my goals?
41
What am I actually working towards?
42
And if you're not clear on that, or you don't have an idea that it's worth sitting down
43
and doing some journaling for just 20 minutes to think about it.
44
And if you're clear on that, then you can move on to the next step.
45
And the next step, once you have set your goals is to break them down.
46
Now, it's all well and good having goals, but really setting the goal does not actually help you make progress towards it.
47
It's better than nothing.
48
But obviously, there are a load of steps involved once you've set the goal to actually making it happen.
49
And therefore, this step is really all about breaking our goals down into what are the tangible actions
50
that we can take to make progress towards those goals.
51
Now again, depending on how many of these productivity books you read, there are dozens of ways of trying to figure this out.
52
I like to keep things simple and boil it down to the basics,
53
which is basically the question of what inputs do I need to do on a weekly basis
54
that are going to get me to this particular goal.
55
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,
56
then the weekly input would be weight training three times a week with progressive overload.
57
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.
58
I don't really believe in like making a task list
59
and like breaking the goal down into like the 18 ,000 different things it takes to make the goal
60
because that becomes way too complicated.
61
And a lot of kind of balancing reading about productivity advice with actually doing the thing is finding
62
that sweet spot where you're taking the advice on board because the advice is generally good,
63
but it's not so overboard that it starts to become overwhelming.
64
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?
65
And then once we're clear on that, we move on to step number three, which is one of the most important ones,
66
which is to create time blocks.
67
And essentially here, the idea is that we need to make the time for these different things that we've decided,
68
these weekly inputs, we need to make the time for those things in our calendar.
69
Now, my favorite method for this is called the ideal week technique.
70
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,
71
what time you want to go to sleep, what time you're having lunch, what time you're at work,
72
what time you're hanging out with the friends and family and date night and all that stuff.
73
And you start off creating the blocks of time for the things that you have to do.
74
And then you can move on to creating blocks of time for the things that you want to do.
75
There's some nuance there, like have to do can often be reframed to want to do in your own mind.
76
We can often choose to feel as if we have more autonomy in situations than we actually do.
77
But fundamentally, the ideal week technique
78
and using a calendar tells you how much time you have available to actually give to these things that you care about.
79
So for example, if my goal is to build more muscle and get six pack abs or whatever the thing is,
80
and I know that I need to do weight training three times a week for let's say an hour,
81
that means I need to find three one hour blocks of time in my calendar,
82
and then maybe with some buffer on either side for getting to the gym and getting back home.
83
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,
84
then it's going to be really tricky then I should reconsider what my goal actually is
85
and whether it's actually realistic for me to be able to hit the gym three times a week.
86
Now, the way I think of these blocks of time is that these are containers.
87
They're simply containers.
88
And the first step to actually making time for this stuff is to create the containers.
89
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.
90
From nine till 12, Monday through Friday, except Wednesdays, which was like team meetings day,
91
I would focus the first three hours a day on book writing.
92
Now, how many words I got done was like a further down the line thing,
93
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,
94
whatever it takes to fill those containers.
95
But the point is you have to create the containers in the first place
96
and that is where this technique of time blocking really shines.
97
Let's now move on to step four, which is to plan your day.
98
And often the single best productivity tactic here
99
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

Ngữ pháp trong video
Những cấu trúc người nói dùng nhiều nhất, kèm đúng cụm từ trong video:
| Cấu trúc | Trong video |
|---|---|
| Thì hiện tại hoàn thành tiếp diễn have/has been + -ing — việc bắt đầu từ trước và vẫn đang tiếp tục | you've been procrastinating · I've been procrastinating · I've been using |

| Mệnh đề quan hệ who / which + mệnh đề — thêm thông tin về người hoặc vật | three, which is · Wednesdays, which was · four, which is |
Phát âm cần chú ý
Người nói dùng 99 dạng rút gọn, ví dụ you're, don't, I'm. Hãy nói theo dạng ngắn đúng như bạn nghe.
- Âm “th”: mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/, algorithm /ˈælɡəɹɪðm̩/, thrill /θɹɪl/
- Âm “sh” và “zh”: emotion /ɪˈməʊ.ʃən/, examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/, motivation /ˈmoʊ.tə.veɪ.ʃən/, capture /ˈkæp.(t)ʃɚ/, essentially /ɪˈsɛnʃəli/
- Từ dài — đặt trọng âm cho đúng: productivity /ˌpɹɒdʌkˈtɪvəti/, examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/, motivation /ˈmoʊ.tə.veɪ.ʃən/, essentially /ɪˈsɛnʃəli/, potentially /pəˈtɛnʃ(ə)li/
Những âm người Việt thường gặp khó:
- Cụm phụ âm cuối — đọc đủ từng âm, đừng nuốt âm cuối: involve /ɪnˈvɑlv/, desk /dɛsk/, reflect /ɹɪˈflɛkt/, distract /dɪˈstɹækt/, extent /ɪkˈstɛnt/
- Âm /tʃ/, /dʒ/ và /ʒ/ — tiếng Việt không có, đừng đọc thành “ch” hay “gi”: generate /ˈd͡ʒɛn.ə.ɹeɪt/, adventure /ədˈvɛn.t͡ʃə/, genuinely /ˈd͡ʒɛn.ju.ɪn.li/, leverage /ˈlɛv.(ə.)ɹɪd͡ʒ/, engage /ɪnˈɡeɪd͡ʒ/
- Âm /æ/ — mở miệng rộng hơn âm “e”: calendar /ˈkæl.ən.də/, examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/, distract /dɪˈstɹækt/, capture /ˈkæp.(t)ʃɚ/, interactive /ˌɪn.tɚˈæk.tɪv/
Cách luyện với video này
- Nghe hết video một lần, chưa cần nói, và ghi lại những từ bạn chưa biết.
- Nói đuổi từng câu ở tốc độ bình thường, lặp lại mỗi câu đến khi nhịp của bạn khớp với người nói.
- Ghi âm giọng mình rồi so với bản gốc, chú ý các từ như calendar, container, scroll.
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.
