    I feel such a satisfaction from watching this, because that is EXACTLY how I've been feeling. This feeling like life is work and then prepping for going to work again and so what is the point at all? Now someone actually formulated these abstract thoughts and feelings for me! This is a great concept that activities mainly consist of maintaining ur life and improving or progressing ur life. I feel like I've dodged so many actually pleasant and rewarding tasks just to preserve time, energy and focus for life maintanance, so that I could survive work.

    Hey Ali! I look forward to this series! Here’s why.
    I’m a physical therapist. I work a “9-5” job and make good enough money for me. I have a 4 month old that I really want to spend time with and make memories with my family. It seems like every other “productivity guru” out here always makes it about side hustles and the “4-hour work week” style. I’m not looking to start a business or make more money. I just want to know what I need to do after the 9-5 in order to make the best of my time to feel rested, being in the moment, learning, and making memories with my family. I look forward to the rest of this series!

    Life Maintenance is NOT the goal. So true, many of us are in life maintenance, and we really should be progressing in other areas of our life that fulfill us, grows us and makes us happy. For myself, I am a business owner of two salons and a mom ...I use to teach group fitness classes as well as Zumba. Doing that not only made me feel happy and amazing, but it was also beneficial to my health and a way to give back to others too! My businesses and mom life had left me tired at the end of the day that I stopped teaching fitness classes overall after opening my second salon and second child and I am now yearning to go back into teaching fitness classes again because of the way it made me feel mentally and physically, I miss it. So my GOAL is to get back to doing just that few times a week which is something completely outside of my salon business and mom life while nurturing my health and happiness. Thanks for the video Ali! I just ordered your book off of Amazon , it arrives this Saturday April 13th and look forward to reading it!

    I recognize the hardships that come with economic struggles like unemployment, job loss, inflation, housing market instability, political uncertainties, and the global impact of conflicts and wars. Making ends meet during such times can be incredibly challenging. To navigate this difficult period, considering alternative job prospects, enhancing skills through online courses, and expanding your network can heighten the chances of securing employment. Moreover, prudent budgeting, exploring available financial aid programs, and seeking assistance from community organizations can offer some relief. How are you currently tackling these challenges? Have you implemented any specific strategies to cope?

      It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.

    This was soooo good! Before I watched this video, this year I decided to do weekly checkups - what I did wrong and right and how to adjust instead of talking down on myself. Example I was late to work why because I went sleep late, then worked out late- so go to sleep earlier train yourself to wake up on time in order to fully workout and still have time for work. It’s simple but I applied this to every “failure” and it helps

Through UA-cam videos I recognize that you self learned and manifested many hobbies or goals you wanted, however, it’s never easy when the first difficulty kicked in when trying out new things. So Ali can you share or make a video related to overcoming the difficulties in life progression activities since those are the obstacles stopping me to take another step forward. Thanks Ali.

  • @Celestriona
    @Celestriona 10 місяців тому +13

    I feel like the ‘beating myself up’ experience is often a function of the emotion of disappointment. I care about the things I want to do and when they don’t work out I am swamped by painful disappointment. I could respond to this by taking it out on myself or others, or I could just accept it and experience the disappointment I feel and try to move on.
    I might prevent disappointment by not having too many expectations or acknowledging I’m not able to control outcomes but these things cause a lot of anxiety. Feeling out of control, whether it is true or not (it is) leads to a lot more emotion.
    So how do you manage these emotions Ali? Do you compartmentalize? Do you do CBT? Are you congenitally a very chill? Do you have a medication practice? I feel often that the stakes in my life are so high, that every decision is an emotional tightrope walk, even though I generally don’t believe in negative self talk.

    • @michisanywhere

    Great pieces of advice, as always! Your robot analogy reminded me of something similar I thought about often... it's like when you have voice navigation on for directions while driving... n when you miss a turn or enter the wrong street the app doesn't start chastising you for being dumb enough to go the wrong way but simply works out the detour and redirects you to an alternate route... no judgments! So perhaps we could reprogram our self-talk to be that way..!

And yet, most days go by and I feel like I got nothing done.

    7:30 get ready for work
    08:00 start working
    12-13:00 break
    13-18:00 work(not really) I have to work longer for like 90% of the time
    18-19:30 work
    19:30 clock out
    20-20:15 get home
    Try to eat something

    I had increasingly bad problems with focus over the past four or five years, and after a few scarier symptoms started happening, I had some tests done. It turned out that my iron saturation ratio was 9 despite eating a healthy (omnivore, so heme-iron-rich) diet. I'm now on iron supplements and it's slowly starting to get better, hence watching this video series to try and reset. I think it's important to mention focus problems to one's doctor. Habit change tools will only help so much without ruling out a medical problem.

    I’m glad I came here, this is exactly what I needed. Literally wanting more time outside my 9-5 to build my UA-cam channel like you mentioned. I never have energy after work to edit, because I don’t get enough sleep at night. I also start my work day later than I should because I’m waking up later, from staying up too late watching UA-cam videos 😅 it’s a cycle. This video made me ask, what will help me right now? And my answer was, fix my sleep. Get 7.5 hours per night at least. Fall asleep by midnight. Wake up at 7:30 everyday, go for a walk before work, start work at 9. Get my work done so I have more downtime during the day to edit and film UA-cam videos, and edit after work. This is the formula to start.

    Love this! I do want to note that we should probably distinguish between what tv shows we're watching. I think it's okay to watch and experience new art like The Bear (so good) but it HAS to be intentional, like a reward for a sunday reset! or an episode a day with your significsnt other :) Thought I'd give my two cents as a person who gets energy from experiencing great art!

Take the time each day for them, and for yourself. Goals can wait. I like Cal Newport's new book about Slow Productivity because it advises setting goals over 5 years. Today matters more than tomorrow. You may not get tomorrow.

    I am exasperated because this video hits me home directly. I work a full-time day job and I try to run two creative projects: my UA-cam channel and the other project which focuses on international embassy and cultural events in the DC area.
    I am lucky that I do not have a significant other or kids so I can have a lot of excess time to dedicate to these projects. However, that being said, it is still a lot to do these two projects, work out consistently, and do a full-time job 40 hours a week.
    I am trying to zoom and focus on the big picture because down the line, if I can generate consistent side incomes from both of these, I can downgrade to a part-time job and enjoy life more! Cheers!

      How can you possibly work three full time jobs and still get enough sleep? Why is one full time job not enough to pay your bills? There’s having a good work ethic and then there’s working yourself to burnout. You should still get to have downtime. There’s no point working yourself so much that you make yourself ill.

As humans we need that time of rest, being mindful of what we absorb in our mind and body, giving time for us to observe our feelings etc. And as for this subject we treat ourselves as human beings to progress and live life to the fullest with the amount of time we have as a human.
