I can’t help but marvel at the way Ali’s cheeks flush with the sweetest warmth every time his wife walks into the room, as if her presence alone lights up his entire world.
@@prven5620 how to tell us you’ve never been in a loving relationship with a woman without telling us you’ve never been in a loving relationship with a woman
1. 90-day chunk goal 2. Weekly review(reset) - 3 top priorities 3. Morning manifesto -keep doing the right thing -set today’s Venture 4. Track your focusing time 5. Standing social events 6. Use the grocery/commute time learning
Totally unrelated to the topic of this video but when Ali said "if you're watching this channel you're probably... good looking" that got me smiling real hard 😂
One of my biggest goals was to buy my first vacation home overseas so I can retire without a mortgage in a less expensive country. In late Sept I bought a small home in a small town in France and I go there to relax, retreat, write, and rejuvenate… by myself. It is such an incredible reset place, a real de-stressing experience that lasts for weeks, months.
I fully agree with you. I left Malaysia above average city life and moved to Italy in a peaceful little village where I find complete serenity and I still can do things I am passionate about online. Great stress reliever.
So sweet to see your wife pop in and make you smile. You have accomplished so much but building a successful and happy marriage will be the most important and fulfilling thing you do 😊
"I'm in a really difficult spot right now, living without a home, but today I was able to find some free Wi-Fi. Your video was the first thing I clicked on, and it really touched me. You’ve given me the courage to believe that things will get better. Once I’m back on track, I plan to keep pushing forward with my own work to bring joy to others. Thank you for the positivity, it means more than you know.
You guys look soooo cute together. I’ve been in this channel for almost 5 years, so I’m happy that you are happy. Wish you both all the happiness in the world. ❤
3 things that make 2024 best year for me: 1. I stopped telling myself I'll do it tomorrow 2. I read books on nixorus 3. I blocked out all distractions.
Aww his wife now in the videos!! I cant event omg. Ali we're so happy for both you!! Been watching your videos for 2 years and you've made a huge difference on my mindset! ❤
It's 31 December and I just come back from my tiring work watching your video and trying to be positive and productive for the new year My goals : 1) Master English (I'm b2 ) 2) Learning Chinese 3) Improving myself (Learn how to communicate with others without forgetting to value yourself) 4) Save money 5)Convincing my family that I can travel alone and continue my studies or work abroad (I'm not sure about this one)
One thing I would like to point out is that when we try to hyper-optimize for productivity, we also eliminate opportunities for spontaneous life activities and experiences. For example, if you’re listening to a podcast in public, the benefit is the learning from the content, but you inwardly forgo your ability to be present with the moment and you outwardly signal to the world around you that you don’t want to be bothered. I wonder what we, as a society, have lost in the name of productivity…
Yep. For that reason, sometimes I choose to go on walks without my phone, or take the bus without listening to music. Go grocery shopping without earbuds in, ask the Uber driver how her day has been... Sometimes the things that happen can surprise you. It makes you aware of your community. Totally agreed.
Hey Ali ! I've been following you for a few years now but I never posted a comment. Recently, I thought to myself that it could be nice to interract with every content I watch or consume and as I love your work, I juste wanted to say thank you for the inspiration you give me. This video was very useful too and I'm already sure I'll will put in place some of the habits you're talking about. So, again, thanks for that !
I have watched so many of your videos that every time a new video comes out, I think to myself, there is nothing new I will learn from this. But you surprise me every single time!!
I discovered the benefit of audio books and productivity by accident. While I’m doing my artwork I listen to something. It seems to set part of my brain free and it doesn’t interfere with the creative process. I find that time stops and I get into the zone really quickly. It also seems to silence my inner art critic! I’ve just ordered your audio book and I’m looking forward to today’s session with clay, knowing that I’m doing 2 important things at once. Thank you for your relaxed and positive approach to productivity!
I don't think that any tips he might provide would be of much help to parents who work 9-5 or who have a much less flexible schedule than Ali has. Most parents or a large majority of parents are not successful entrepreneurs with 7 figures businesses or youtubers like Ali and his wife are.
@@Hehe15066 Very few people "are" successful entrepreneurs with 7 figure businesses. They become that through focus and discipline. I started my company with two kids in diapers. It's not a 7 figure business but it has grown to the point where it provides a comfortable lifestyle for my wife and I. And here I am now before those kids (now 3 of them) are awake, watching a video like this to grow my company even more. His tips are helpful. But if you have kids, you definitely have to contextualize it for your situation.
@@Hehe15066 his job is to put content out. The audience job is to pick what is applicable to themselves. If you cant then take advice from someone else who does. Simple as that
I love your videos. I am a 19-year-old girl who finds it difficult to be productive. God bless you for this video. I am going to incorporate all the methods you spoke about in the video.
Thanks Ali from the bottom of my heart I started my yt channel 2-3 weeks ago just because of you.I have learned a lot from you hope to be someone like you someday. Infinite love brother
I am a 13 yo and ur really inspiring. I wanna grow up and be like you. Ur my motivation to start a youtube channel. Hope u have a happy new year and a productive year as well😀
As much as I enjoy this content, I really hope young people know there are other career paths out there to be inspired by than being a UA-camr or Tiktoker 😅
I am a longtime watcher of This channel's Content. I am on my third time watching this video now (I havent closed the tab LOLz) and I love to have it as a daily thing that I listen to. I find it a good summary of the information that I've learned from Ali and team over the years and a helpful reminder to myself Daily to focus on the things that matter, The things that get me closer to living the life that I want. I don't say it enough, thank you very much.
I also stand by the scheduled date nights. It’s crucial for a good marriage. My ex boyfriend hated it because he subscribed to them spontaneous tribe, but then was only spontaneously remembers to make time for me. My now husband and I have a way better relationship because we have date nights scheduled.
I did your productivity review of the year in Jan 2024 with my ex husband. It was a great workshop. It really helped me see all we had accomplished for the year 2023 and what was that I wanted to accomplish in 2024. I followed the same blueprint as I still had my notes and prompts regarding this year and it's really amazing to see how far I've come and how things are shapping up leading to 2025. I'm sure I'll not miss the summit as I got so much value the last time! Thank you Ali.
I really hate the fact I found this channel on 01/06/25 so I just missed the workshop. But this is the most empathetic and rational productivity video I've watched and very grateful I came across it.
I've been applying some of these steps recently, and they've been boosting my productivity bit by bit. Thank you, Ali, for this video-I'm all set and updated for 2025!
#6 - I have been doing multi-modal productivity for years and just did not know it! Great content - I have been convinced I need to incorporate quarterly planning in my life and then your video came in! I like the sound of a quarterly quest - sounds much less like work!
yaaaaayy!!! thank-you so much for this Ali! and it is ao exciting seeing 'the wife' popping in and out and hearing you talk about her with such genuine love. 😊
Hi Ali! Thank you so much for this. Added so much great values. I love journaling and I am already doing the weekly review which I call my “weekender” and then “month-ender” and “quarter ender”, yet I learned how to properly execute these journaling habits more effectively by adding the prompt questions you gave. So thank you! I also like the standing order social events and was thinking of doing mine during Friday brunch. And of course, I also like the Multi-Modality Multitasking and started listing all the things I sorta do automatically that I can add on putting in with listening to a podcast or audiobook. =)
HELLO the video was super helpful for me as an Afghan girl that struggling with so much issues I'll try my best and get what I wnat for next year all my key priorities. all your videos had a positive impact on me as I'm watching them for three years :)
Ali, I'm considering going back to school for medicine (applying for 2027 start) and your book and videos have given me some confidence that I can effectively study and manage my time to make this possible. Wish me luck!!!
Habit 1: Ignoring Annual Goals Instead of setting annual goals, focus on quarterly quests-specific goals for the next 90 days. This method is inspired by productivity frameworks like The 12-Week Year and allows for more agility and focus. Breaking projects into quarterly milestones helps maintain momentum and adapt to changing circumstances. Aim for 3-4 goals per quarter, divided into work and personal categories, to ensure manageability and consistent progress. Habit 2: The Weekly Review The weekly review is a 15-20 minute "reset" to reflect on the past week and set priorities for the next. It involves reviewing wins, tracking progress on quarterly quests, and determining the top 3 priorities for the week ahead. This habit helps maintain alignment with long-term goals and boosts productivity by keeping your focus on meaningful tasks. Habit 3: The Morning Manifesto The morning manifesto is a quick, two-minute journaling exercise done each morning. It includes reviewing weekly priorities and identifying the most important task for the day. This habit keeps your daily actions aligned with broader goals and encourages intentionality, ensuring you focus on what matters most. Habit 4: Focus Logs Focus logs involve tracking the time spent on focused work each day. This habit builds awareness of how you allocate your time and encourages greater productivity. By logging focused minutes, you can identify inefficiencies and steadily increase progress on critical tasks. Habit 5: Standing Order Social Events To maintain strong social connections, schedule recurring social events-like weekly brunches or game nights-that happen at the same time and place. These standing events eliminate the hassle of coordinating schedules and foster consistent relationships, combating loneliness and strengthening bonds. Habit 6: Multimodality Multitasking Multimodality multitasking involves pairing activities that require different types of focus, such as listening to podcasts or audiobooks while commuting, walking, or doing chores. This approach helps maximize productivity without compromising focus on important tasks, allowing you to make progress on your goals during otherwise idle time.
I do yearly goal setting but then every month I plan to work on one or two of them. Some goals may take more than a month but I always pick something to focus on during the month
I wanted you to know that I really enjoy and love your sound. It is peaceful and calming. I use to study at the dawn. (01:57) Get sleepy, but playing just your videos is the best medicine to prevent sleep. There is no music at the background. I kove this too. Gracias muchas ❤ I really have a question! Why do i forget the way whick works for me the best? Like studying outloud is better but i forget? If you have any vidoe?
This was FANTASTIC. Full of tips I can actually implement. I've fallen into the trap of a hectic, busy, but unproductive and unexamined life. I started my dream business, but still work part time until all the debt is paid. I find myself focusing on my part time job and making THAT my priority, instead of the business i love! I'm adding your books to my reading list, as well as those you recommend. May you and your wife have a wonderful new year!
I am longing for the day that you have your first child so that you make a Feel Good Productivity (with Kids) Edition!! Would 100% pre-order that book.
Planning Habits according to ali 1 quarterly goals - 2 top prio 2 weekly reset - 3 top prio 3 morning - today’s adventure / most impact 4 focus logs 5 standing order 6 multi modality multi task
Loved these Ali. I did more of these than I realise. For example the Multimodality multitasking (tongue twisting). I watched this video while in the bath. 😂. Listen to audio books on my walk. But definitely need to do the walk and plan idea. Don’t know why I didn’t think of that. That’s going to help planning things ALOT! 🙌. I also like to live by the quote from Greg Mckeown “if you don’t prioritise your life someone else will” ✨
The app seems so good! Izzy looks so happy❤️☀️ Every time I watch ur new video, I always gather a pen and paper to take notes🤣👍 thx!!! Gl with Hong Kong Life!! I wish you decided to live in Japan🤣🤣🤣
Habit 1 - Set not yearly but Quarterly goals/quest. Habit 2 - Do weekly review so as to reflect and reset for next week. Habit 3 - The morning manifesto. Habit 4 - Focus Log. Habit 6 - Multimodal Multitasking.
I didn't have a high expectation since 20xx best year videos feel like copy paste at this point, but it was actually very helpful. Thanks so much for making it even if you didn't feel like it :) Happy for your marriage and will definitely give these tips a try for my 2025 :)
I was waiting for Ali to drop this video. Really needed this. 2025 is gonna be the year I will do everything I ever thought and dreamt of. Now gonna integrate these habits in 2025.
Thanks for continuing to inspire my life! I'd love some more tips and insight on locating to another country and building and keeping relationships in a foreign environment. Hope you have a blissful 2025!
Hey Ali, While I was doing the dishes I watched this video and I’m blown away. I know your work is very good for years (since 2020 ish) but wow. I’m at a phase of my life where I’m very stable in the basics, but very stuck with my passion. Tonight I will rewatch this video with full focus and make a plan how to takeover 2025. Thank you! 🌱❤️
Congrats on becoming husband and father🎉 Wish you a fruitful new year in 2025 in Hong Kong with your loved ones🏠Blessings from Hong Kong🇭🇰 For habit 5, as a non-religious introvert, I can't think of any idea that resembles your suggestion 😅 For habit 6, if there's a will, there's a way. It's not toxic productivity if one enjoys the process. Productivity should serve the end goal of fulfilling one's passion, but not enslaving one to become driven solely by numbers and speed.
Hi ALIIIIIII! I loved watching and learning from this video (Just like your every other videos haha). I would love to have the review templates you mentioned. It would be really beneficial to start incorporating the habit into my life.
I love the candid parts like in 4:45 where you blend "filming Ali" into "bloopers Ali" (even though it's still an edited version of you)! The cut was a little jarring, but still breaks up the monotony quite a bit
Hello! We will set our plans with the family, 3 kids, according to your advice. Im curious, how the quarterly quests will go. I pland to revise every sunday with the kids, and remind them too of their goals. :) And ofc we will do our business plans. Thank you, for super well made videos!
Before jan wanting to complete all my important pending work, really wanna start jan with all these six habits, thank you so much for these useful tips.
I agree with quarterly goals absolutely!! I’ve created an editable strategy template using the balanced scorecard - a management tool widely used and quarterly key performance indicators suggested for small businesses with a tracking template! (Includes a data dashboard)
Absolutely love the Habit 5, Ali. I have a feeling that this is going to be life-changing for me the way it has been for you. I've also started the monthly and weekly reviews, at least have scheduled them, have attended to just three by now though. but there's progress which I'm happy about. I just wanna say that what you create is truly life-changing, Ali. Thank you for being around us here. Anddd, I've a video suggestion. Please make a video on how to cultivate more positivity and optimism in one's days and life, and how to prevent negativity to take root inside one's psyche. Thank you again for all that you do. Love youuu!
Great video, it's incredibly important to put together systems that will make these seamless and easy to implement. I've been working on this and it's been really useful.

Remember, Ali only says the facts ;)
Why does this makes me laugh so hard lol

Mine too.
...yet*
Let me join you to manifest this!
2025 Will be the best year of my life! 😊❤😊❤
Manifesting this!!
Yes it will be!!
One of my biggest goals was to buy my first vacation home overseas so I can retire without a mortgage in a less expensive country. In late Sept I bought a small home in a small town in France and I go there to relax, retreat, write, and rejuvenate… by myself. It is such an incredible reset place, a real de-stressing experience that lasts for weeks, months.
WOW! This is very inspirational. My wheels are turning with this!! Thank you for sharing!
I fully agree with you. I left Malaysia above average city life and moved to Italy in a peaceful little village where I find complete serenity and I still can do things I am passionate about online. Great stress reliever.
Come to Vietnam 😊
@MokaandChai this is so inspiring... would love to learn how you are able to do that. Subscribed to your channel and hoping to find out.
@ I would love to share more life experiences and how I did this sometime soon after Christmas. Thanks so much.

came to say this! so cute! so happy for them
yeah they seem to get along really well
I don't know why the "aww she's so nice!" struck me but it's always so sweet to see partners praise or compliment each other out loud
So sweet to see your wife pop in and make you smile. You have accomplished so much but building a successful and happy marriage will be the most important and fulfilling thing you do 😊

Aww his wife now in the videos!! I cant event omg. Ali we're so happy for both you!! Been watching your videos for 2 years and you've made a huge difference on my mindset! ❤
The most difficult is not to get things done, but rather knowing what you really, profoundly want.
It's 31 December and I just come back from my tiring work watching your video and trying to be positive and productive for the new year
My goals :
1) Master English (I'm b2 )
2) Learning Chinese
3) Improving myself (Learn how to communicate with others without forgetting to value yourself)
4) Save money
5)Convincing my family that I can travel alone and continue my studies or work abroad (I'm not sure about this one)
I just built my yearly goals. Now I am going to figure out how to turn that into quarterly goals.
One thing I would like to point out is that when we try to hyper-optimize for productivity, we also eliminate opportunities for spontaneous life activities and experiences.
For example, if you’re listening to a podcast in public, the benefit is the learning from the content, but you inwardly forgo your ability to be present with the moment and you outwardly signal to the world around you that you don’t want to be bothered.
I wonder what we, as a society, have lost in the name of productivity…
When everything is measured by productivity and numbers, there isn't any room for spontaneity and wonderlust left.
Yep. For that reason, sometimes I choose to go on walks without my phone, or take the bus without listening to music. Go grocery shopping without earbuds in, ask the Uber driver how her day has been... Sometimes the things that happen can surprise you. It makes you aware of your community. Totally agreed.
But that's the beauty of life, you can do both! You can choose what to prioritize in the moment.

I don't think that any tips he might provide would be of much help to parents who work 9-5 or who have a much less flexible schedule than Ali has. Most parents or a large majority of parents are not successful entrepreneurs with 7 figures businesses or youtubers like Ali and his wife are.

It involves reviewing wins, tracking progress on quarterly quests, and determining the top 3 priorities for the week ahead. This habit helps maintain alignment with long-term goals and boosts productivity by keeping your focus on meaningful tasks.

To maintain strong social connections, schedule recurring social events-like weekly brunches or game nights-that happen at the same time and place. These standing events eliminate the hassle of coordinating schedules and foster consistent relationships, combating loneliness and strengthening bonds.

Multimodality multitasking involves pairing activities that require different types of focus, such as listening to podcasts or audiobooks while commuting, walking, or doing chores. This approach helps maximize productivity without compromising focus on important tasks, allowing you to make progress on your goals during otherwise idle time.
“Standing order”… every nurse and doc watching this just smirked. I love it.
I do yearly goal setting but then every month I plan to work on one or two of them. Some goals may take more than a month but I always pick something to focus on during the month
Ali has been on quite the adventure these past few years and here’s to many more in 2025.
Thank you Ali, you probably have the best personal development and effectivity effect on my life. Keep up the great work
I wanted you to know that I really enjoy and love your sound.
It is peaceful and calming.
I use to study at the dawn. (01:57)
Get sleepy, but playing just your videos is the best medicine to prevent sleep.
There is no music at the background. I kove this too.
Gracias muchas ❤
I really have a question! Why do i forget the way whick works for me the best? Like studying outloud is better but i forget? If you have any vidoe?
This was FANTASTIC. Full of tips I can actually implement. I've fallen into the trap of a hectic, busy, but unproductive and unexamined life. I started my dream business, but still work part time until all the debt is paid. I find myself focusing on my part time job and making THAT my priority, instead of the business i love! I'm adding your books to my reading list, as well as those you recommend. May you and your wife have a wonderful new year!
As your sub count increases so does our admiration for all you do
I am longing for the day that you have your first child so that you make a Feel Good Productivity (with Kids) Edition!! Would 100% pre-order that book.
Planning Habits according to ali
1 quarterly goals - 2 top prio
2 weekly reset - 3 top prio
3 morning - today’s adventure / most impact
4 focus logs
5 standing order
6 multi modality multi task
Loved these Ali. I did more of these than I realise. For example the Multimodality multitasking (tongue twisting). I watched this video while in the bath. 😂. Listen to audio books on my walk. But definitely need to do the walk and plan idea. Don’t know why I didn’t think of that. That’s going to help planning things ALOT! 🙌. I also like to live by the quote from Greg Mckeown “if you don’t prioritise your life someone else will” ✨
The app seems so good! Izzy looks so happy❤️☀️ Every time I watch ur new video, I always gather a pen and paper to take notes🤣👍 thx!!! Gl with Hong Kong Life!! I wish you decided to live in Japan🤣🤣🤣
Habit 1 - Set not yearly but Quarterly goals/quest.
Habit 2 - Do weekly review so as to reflect and reset for next week.
Habit 3 - The morning manifesto.
Habit 4 - Focus Log.
Habit 6 - Multimodal Multitasking.
I didn't have a high expectation since 20xx best year videos feel like copy paste at this point, but it was actually very helpful. Thanks so much for making it even if you didn't feel like it :) Happy for your marriage and will definitely give these tips a try for my 2025 :)
Honestly Quarterly goals are the best! I started since I read the book 12week year and I have achieved a lot since I started.
I was waiting for Ali to drop this video. Really needed this.
2025 is gonna be the year I will do everything I ever thought and dreamt of.
Now gonna integrate these habits in 2025.
Thanks for continuing to inspire my life! I'd love some more tips and insight on locating to another country and building and keeping relationships in a foreign environment.
Hope you have a blissful 2025!
So sweet of your wife to bring you tea. Your videos are so personable. Really loved this one.
Hey Ali,
While I was doing the dishes I watched this video and I’m blown away. I know your work is very good for years (since 2020 ish) but wow.
I’m at a phase of my life where I’m very stable in the basics, but very stuck with my passion.
Tonight I will rewatch this video with full focus and make a plan how to takeover 2025.
Thank you! 🌱❤️
oh I missed this. I've been travelling with family during the first planning. I hope I won't miss next time. Thanks Ali,, and hello Doc Izzy
I really love the Focus Log idea! Thank you so much! 😊
I'm really enjoyed the Productivity Spark. Thank you so much.
❤ Sir, I save your videos without reading the title sometimes, its all about the value u have added to our lives!
I love the pattern interrupt with your wife. Congrats! Such a cute moment between you two. But yes, love the productivity tips too!
Congrats on becoming husband and father🎉 Wish you a fruitful new year in 2025 in Hong Kong with your loved ones🏠Blessings from Hong Kong🇭🇰
For habit 5, as a non-religious introvert, I can't think of any idea that resembles your suggestion 😅
For habit 6, if there's a will, there's a way. It's not toxic productivity if one enjoys the process. Productivity should serve the end goal of fulfilling one's passion, but not enslaving one to become driven solely by numbers and speed.
Hi ALIIIIIII! I loved watching and learning from this video (Just like your every other videos haha). I would love to have the review templates you mentioned. It would be really beneficial to start incorporating the habit into my life.
I’m excited to implement some of this! I think the quarterly goals will help me especially. Thank you for sharing this!
😊 Dr. Mrs. Izzy Abdaal Showed up as the real in-house Support. Well done 😊🎉
I love the candid parts like in 4:45 where you blend "filming Ali" into "bloopers Ali" (even though it's still an edited version of you)! The cut was a little jarring, but still breaks up the monotony quite a bit
i know and usually do these, but its nice to get a reminder since i fell out of habit this last couple weeks! Thanks for keeping the content coming
Thanks for so many advices ❤
You are painfully real! I love this! 😊
Hello!
We will set our plans with the family, 3 kids, according to your advice. Im curious, how the quarterly quests will go. I pland to revise every sunday with the kids, and remind them too of their goals. :) And ofc we will do our business plans. Thank you, for super well made videos!
Ali thanks for always inspiring us and leading us to create more time for completing more for our lives and ourselves💖
Best episode by far!! Love Rob!
Signed up for the Sparks Workshop, and have realised that the times were in GMT 😮 I’m in Australia- so they will be 10pm to 2am!
Omg, you guys look so cute together 😭 wish you the best
9.38 The fact that I'm still 13 really gave me a big smile
Bro, good job. Thank you for creating such impactful and meaningful video. keep inspiring the world with your brilliance.
Before jan wanting to complete all my important pending work, really wanna start jan with all these six habits, thank you so much for these useful tips.
I agree with quarterly goals absolutely!! I’ve created an editable strategy template using the balanced scorecard - a management tool widely used and quarterly key performance indicators suggested for small businesses with a tracking template! (Includes a data dashboard)
Thanks Ali as always, let's all get this started and a better & fruitful 2025 shall come as rewards by adopting these habits!
Absolutely love the Habit 5, Ali. I have a feeling that this is going to be life-changing for me the way it has been for you. I've also started the monthly and weekly reviews, at least have scheduled them, have attended to just three by now though. but there's progress which I'm happy about. I just wanna say that what you create is truly life-changing, Ali. Thank you for being around us here. Anddd, I've a video suggestion. Please make a video on how to cultivate more positivity and optimism in one's days and life, and how to prevent negativity to take root inside one's psyche. Thank you again for all that you do. Love youuu!
Thank you so much for this video, I'll watch it after school 😊
Great video, it's incredibly important to put together systems that will make these seamless and easy to implement. I've been working on this and it's been really useful.
I just wanted to say thank you for your hard work and amazing energy!
