I listened to your reading of your book. It's really good. I was supprised. I wrote some theories I had about how kids learn in notes to myself and how it makes them sharper more inovative and their enjoyment for work and things makes them a high flyer. it shocked me to read your book where you had similar concepts in your book. I'm blind and I want to learn swift coding. I'm finding the learning resources I've found quite hard to understand. If anyone can help That would be great
There is a quote from another book "Stillness" by Ryan Holiday that was from a Famous Archer. It goes "Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast" I teach private music lessons for a living and this is an idea that is 100% a big component of students improving. Most of them want to go really fast and as a result make a ton of mistakes which hinders their progress. So I have them slow way down when learning something new and 9/10 times they learn much quicker and master it faster. Which then eventually allows them to play quicker and smoother at the same time. It's now a mindset and quote I use for myself and my kids as I teach them life skills. It sounds counter intuitive but it's a powerful principle for all areas of life.
Thanks for sharing. I can relate to this as my life has become so fast and I feel like I am not actually progressing. Compared to early days in my career when I had less work and I used to spend hours each day reading and learning - I was slow but there was a visible progression.
I got though talk from professor. as I was keeping up with other students by not leaving library while they did projects and internships and summer vacations. he told me its not about grades. this is not highschool. if you cant live normal life and have scholarship grades try different college. and I had more success with evening school while working and looking for better and better paid job than killing myself for a degree and expecting somebody gives me life I want for a piece of paper. there is hard and focused work and there is ruining your life by overworking its a thin line and you need to be very honest with yourself to know when you need to do those extra hours
I tried doing exactly what you’re suggesting at work several months ago. I asked about priorities when more and more was put on my plate, and was told that I was expected to have “better time management” if couldn’t figure it out on my own. I was a senior manager with outstanding outcomes working 10+ hours a day but I was let go because I “wasn’t keeping up” and asked inappropriate questions about priorities when more and more was demanded. It was up to me to balance it all, regardless of demands. The VP who fired me spoke of how he worked 12 hour days and most weekends. Unfortunately this kind of toxic corporate culture is far more common than the much saner culture you describe, especially now. How do we get corporations to understand the value of focused work instead of piling on more and more?
This week I start initiating slow productivity.🌟 I am a believer in it. And I also see that other successful people are not struggling and working too hard. They allow themselves to do things slowly and allow some more time to chill. 🌟
19:07 I was not expecting that quote. I legit said the same thing to my cousin years ago when he got very frustrated on how his sleep was all messed up and not working. My response was good things take good time. Still stand by it today
There’s a saying in woodworking, “The slow way IS the fast way”. Meaning that planning, preparation, and problem solving are 90% significant and then actually building (execution)is the remaining 10%.
Thanks. That sounds like old but timeless wisdom. It's a sustainable approach. Those productivity guys teaching us to be faster and to do more may have a lot of knowledge, but not much wisdom.
I just want to let you know that I'm extremely thankful for your advices - and especially for the fact that those advices are not encouraging to grind the hell out of your life but rather make productivity enjoyable Just big big thank you
Dear Ali! We are a newlywed couple who has just started a UA-cam channel too, and your advice has always been very useful for us and to improve our channel. Thank you for your work!
We - Muslims - have two narrations from the prophet Muhammad - PBUH - that says: 1- "The acts most pleasing to God are those which are done most continuously, even if they amount to little." 2- "Verily Allah, most High, loves for you to perfect a good deed when you perform it." Thanks for sharing, Ali
This actually makes me more compassionate to my menstrual cycle. As a woman, I have naturally more energy on some days and less energy on others. And for a long time, I used to beat myself up on the low energy days whereas in reality my body was just asking for a healthy break. Now I am learning to slow down. Edit: ALI ABDAAL LUKED MY COMMENTTT 😭
Soo true just in that low energy period now, just clicking thris vid on my bed😂❤ perhaps nature’s wisdom to get us to slow down the high lane / active mode to rest and “usefull wisdom Digest❤
Loved this book after reading through it twice the past month. Thank you Ali as always for a clear, concise and engaging review to reinforce those points as usual. Hope to see Cal on the Deep Dive again sometime in the future
‘Say no to short term commercial opportunities’ Well said Ali, your videos and contents are always inspiring and insightful. Thank you for that! Sometimes you get the answer of your inner question in an unexpected way. Haha
I’m realizing that my lack of productivity is because I haven’t been listening to my body, especially the effects of my period. I have been reading a book on periods ,and planning to read Slow Productivity too . sometimes I become too harsh on myself.i would highly appreciate if you will make a video about women and productivity issues as not able to find a lot of content around this topic.😇
I read this book in April and although I found this book a bit underwhelming... after further reflection, I realized that I shifted the way I approach my productivity as a writer, UA-camr, and freelancer. I am now big on following the *seasons* to get good work done and limiting my goal list every quarter. I also realized that I love bouncing from working intensely to recharging for long periods WITHOUT burning myself out. I loved the literary examples he gave (Jane Austen but also Jack Kerouack who didn't only write his book *in just 3 weeks* as he actually based it off his 2-year journal and it took him 6 years and 6 drafts to get "On the Road" published!) So far, it's helped me tremendously and I feel less stressed. When I'm overly stressed and not sleeping properly (because I'm catching up on work that never ends), everything falls apart in my life, even the work I love the most (creating, writing, and reading.) Great video as always Ali! 😊
Love this guy’s content. Meaningful and thoughtful. (As opposed to others where it feels like they’re just verbal vomiting for 20 min and then angling for clicks and views. This dude is genuinely committed to his craft. I’m impressed. m.e.
I don't know if anyone else said these on the comments, but from the minute 16:40 to 16:54, your voice gets mixed with the spanish overvoice. JFYTK. Over that, excellent content, you've earned a new subscriber.
Man… the idea of working at a natural pace is actually kind of genius. You often hear that grinding is bad and you should slow down but then it’s like, how slow? Not doing enough can be even MORE detrimental than doing too much. But the answer is simple - work at the pace that feels natural to YOU. Obviously there’s no all-encompassing answer because we’re all different, but by working at a natural pace we all do our best work in a manner that feels good to us.
The problem with the "overhead" is that a lot of it is asynchronous and you end up waiting for others to reply. Likely need at least a few projects going to keep the task queue going.
Es verdad, cuando tu jefe te dice que necesita tal o cual cosa, tu no puedes decirle que lo tendrás en tres meses, lo que el jefe pide casi siempre es para lo mas pronto, tu no le pones plazos a las entregas para tu jefe, tu entregas el pedido "si deseas conservar tu trabajo" cuando para cuando él te lo solicite.
I find it ironical to see such a book coming from someone who obviously works a lot. What i got from it was the importante of time. Having time to do things. How does the author manages all those demands in his own contemporary live (rather than how jane austen did it), seems to be a far more useful take for today’s challenges. The author mentions that he has a family. Does he work weekends? Does he employ nannies or housekeepers? How does he manage? That is something that i would be interested in reading

It's such a timely video. I'm a workaholic and a perfectionist. I unnecessarily stress myself with work I don't have to do now just because I want to always be on top of my game and complete my work before the deadlines. I'm told by my dearest and best to chill a bit, but I know I need to change my mindset first before my "bad" habits follow. Appreciate your content, Ali 😊
Are you two really comparing life hundreds of years ago with now? There’s so much new diff things you have to take care of that’s not just normal work lol That’s like using exercise tips from the 50s while ignoring all the sports science that has progressed since then This self help stuff is becoming a circle jerk
its a scale! Slow down-Speed up. Both extreme ends have value depending on where YOU stand. Neither principle alone is better than the opposite. You just have to tip the BALANCE right.
I've had this book on hold at the library, and I'm excited to get to it! (But Jane Austen was well before the Victorians and wrote in the Regency era and now I'm going to have to fight being annoyed about that)
I do not agree with principle 2 ,as a student at least. We simply cannot work at our own pace we are supposed to always be improving our pace and it's frustrating.
I always learned something new when I watch your channel, however, after spending 30+ years in the corporate sector some of those in the C suite, I can tell you that most of these ideas just won’t work in the environments I’ve been in. Yes your boss is looking for reasons to get rid of you, especially if you’re a high flyer who makes a lot of money and they can find somebody who will do what you do for less. these things have worked for me as I do my own thing now, but if I were to go back into the corporate sector, I would just have to grind the grind. Which is why I choose to not do that anymore.
I'm exactly in this boat now, although with far fewer years under my belt. Corporate jobs won't let you push back on more work, as they keep reducing the workforce and redistributing the tasks. You either adapt or leave, and repeat the same thing in the next corporate job, hoping for better, less short-sighted decisions from leadership.

It would be nice to be able to do less, or not have to jump between different projects, having deadlines that span months. Sadly in my work it's either 1-2 days or a week at most, and I have about a dozen or so for every week, with a boatload of meetings in-between, so I couldn't even finish everything if I worked 24/7... I guess I need a better job
I feel like you slightly improved your video talking speed, it's not easy when in your previous old videos you talk very fast and it doesn't help me and other people trying to take notes or playing back specific contents you mentioned, but now coming back to your channel, I feel like it's okay now watching your new videos from now on as long as you talk at a normal speed, I'll continue to watch your new video contents 👍
Great video as always. The idea of doing fewer things, learning to say No, prioritising/deprioritising the tasks, are actually mentioned in the book called Essentialism by Greg McKeown which I am currently reading. The concepts are clearly explained with examples as you mentioned.
As a former medical student and doctor, how would you recommend trying to implement these ideas into the task of studying for medical school? Given there is so much to learn in such a short time, how can we maximize efficiency. I am in medical school in the states now and can’t help but feel like I need to spend every free second I have at my computer trying to get work done. All the while knowing that I probably get focused deep work done maybe 30-40% of that time.
Your effective hourly rate (EHR) on the YT and course business is about $3k/hr Ali - so going away for four days on a speaking gig for $30k actually reduces your EHR down to about $930/hr for those four days you’re away. Not to mention the added fatigue of travelling and potential to get ill from germs on planes!! You’re worth less (not worthless) speaking than you are being CEO of your company. It’s worth considering. Maybe you need to book 2-3 keynotes when you’re away travelling to boost your EHR.
Sometimes I don't know which direction Ali is coming from. On the one hand I've watched many of his videos about starting a youtube channel and he stresses "starting" "consistency" (usually at least once a week) and just "getting it out there." But then this is like "if it's not good enough, wait a bit." So should I be consistent and push the video every, let's say Tuesday, or wait the extra 3 days to make it "that much better." How do you know when it's worth to put in that extra time because it will perform "so much better," or when you're being too perfectionistic. I feel like the "slow productivity" idea feels very contrary to the other videos. Which is fine! I just feel like, am I taking crazy pills? Because I don't feel like this has been the POV.
Your describing the basic ideas behind working agile and the most basic solutions like backlogs to achieve a constant stream of quality results at a good pace. The most challenging problem working this way ist to figure out how to communicate it to your boss or customer because it does not fit the "normal" way of thinking we internalized as workers.

Looking forward to it... So enjoyed the last one thank you xx
I listened to your reading of your book.
It's really good.
I was supprised.
I wrote some theories I had about how kids learn in notes to myself and how it makes them sharper more inovative and their enjoyment for work and things makes them a high flyer.
it shocked me to read your book where you had similar concepts in your book.
I'm blind and I want to learn swift coding.
I'm finding the learning resources I've found quite hard to understand.

The problem with the "overhead" is that a lot of it is asynchronous and you end up waiting for others to reply. Likely need at least a few projects going to keep the task queue going.

I was think of this quote from one of my old rugby coaches: "Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast."

Great video as always. The idea of doing fewer things, learning to say No, prioritising/deprioritising the tasks, are actually mentioned in the book called Essentialism by Greg McKeown which I am currently reading. The concepts are clearly explained with examples as you mentioned.
Is it Google Calendar you using?
can't be an ali abdaal video without the book anouncement
😂😂
@@aliabdaal 😳 love your videos man
LESS IS MORE
As a former medical student and doctor, how would you recommend trying to implement these ideas into the task of studying for medical school? Given there is so much to learn in such a short time, how can we maximize efficiency. I am in medical school in the states now and can’t help but feel like I need to spend every free second I have at my computer trying to get work done. All the while knowing that I probably get focused deep work done maybe 30-40% of that time.
Keep up BOOK CLUB SERIES ❤ PLEASE
Your effective hourly rate (EHR) on the YT and course business is about $3k/hr Ali - so going away for four days on a speaking gig for $30k actually reduces your EHR down to about $930/hr for those four days you’re away. Not to mention the added fatigue of travelling and potential to get ill from germs on planes!!
You’re worth less (not worthless) speaking than you are being CEO of your company. It’s worth considering.
Maybe you need to book 2-3 keynotes when you’re away travelling to boost your EHR.
Please stop to translate your videos!! The French voice is unbearable, I can't listen to it although I find it very interesting 😭
ali u are my inspiration ❤❤
How does this audio track for different languages in UA-cam work? Your Spanish sounds so great!
Principle 1 of this book = Agile Scrum. Welcome to the world of software development 😂
Alot of videos have lightly mentioned how to earn more but work less but this video is the best explaination for me
"You and Jay-Z take the bus?"
"Didn't your hear? There's weed on the bus!"
please add subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese, or dubbing.
The definition of productivity in production is way too simplified.
Thanks for making this so digestible. This just explained my experience working in tech!

Dude why you change the title? The seo didn´t work or something?
Sometimes I don't know which direction Ali is coming from. On the one hand I've watched many of his videos about starting a youtube channel and he stresses "starting" "consistency" (usually at least once a week) and just "getting it out there." But then this is like "if it's not good enough, wait a bit." So should I be consistent and push the video every, let's say Tuesday, or wait the extra 3 days to make it "that much better." How do you know when it's worth to put in that extra time because it will perform "so much better," or when you're being too perfectionistic. I feel like the "slow productivity" idea feels very contrary to the other videos. Which is fine! I just feel like, am I taking crazy pills? Because I don't feel like this has been the POV.
Increíble video, buscar el equilibrio es lo desafiante que he visto, no puedes hacer nada que te guste realmente si no es económicamente rentable
Your describing the basic ideas behind working agile and the most basic solutions like backlogs to achieve a constant stream of quality results at a good pace.
The most challenging problem working this way ist to figure out how to communicate it to your boss or customer because it does not fit the "normal" way of thinking we internalized as workers.
It's not Kam kaam karna it's chize karna ... Bhout antar hai bhai... Translation mai koi gadbad Hui hai
Ali always comes up with real problems that we truly need ❤
