Summary: To achieve more in a shorter time, focus on consistent execution, replace annualization with periodization, create an emotional connection to the outcome, and have a compelling vision for the future. Great work as always, thanks Ali!
3 ideas:
- the difference between high performers and low ones is the execution gap
- change from annualization to peridoisation to utilize the deadline effect
- have a clear vision of the future which strongly emotional connected
You summed up my existential self-develpment wisdom in 4 seconds, yay.
Great insight thanks buddy👍
What ali abdaal wears on his right hand, what was that, what its use ??
find this book fascinating, when I embraced a 6-week work cycle, with one off, I got WAY more done and was more relaxed
Thats interesting, half the 3 months basically and one week off - where did you get that idea?

Why 6 week
What ali abdaal wears on his right hand, what was that, what its use ??
I've been implementing 12 Week Year for my 2024. First 12 Week Year has been focused on "Skill Acquisition". Highly suggest focus on week by week milestones. You can easily fall into the same mental trap as "Oh I have the whole year". But in this case its "Oh I have 12 weeks".
The Creator of everything is : Allah " الله " , and He created us to worship Him alone, and in order to teach us how to worship Him, He sent prophets like " Noah, Abraham Moses, Jesus, " peace be upon them, and the last of the Messengers is Muhammad, may الله prayers and peace be upon him.

hey Ali, love your book, I listened to it instead of reading it- busy mum here and aspiring developer. I rely on your newsletters and videos, they keep me going especially when I feel swamped by chores, motherhood and career goals.
Thats awesome! Hows the developer path going for you so far?
How did you listen to it. I can't buy the book because they don't deliver it to my country
I listened to it too - feels like Ali is talking to me for hours at a time :D
@@TheExecutor_96 It's on audible, and Ali narrates the book
Audible
Ali, you seem stressed and hard on yourself lately. You’re doing great. Protect your mental/physical health over more work. It’s okay to be human(hugs). We all love and appreciate you and your work.
It’s almost like trying to “optimize” every aspect of your life is incredibly stressful and kinda missing the point of living your own life. He makes good points in this video but also is equating life to a numbers game depending on how much he can do, that’s just not a healthy way of looking at life IMO
@@michaelmaragni1505Almost!
What ali abdaal wears on his right hand, what was that, what its use ??
Ali, this might be the best video you have produced on your channel. You have a “teachers mind” that can take a concept and talk about it in many different ways, making it completely clear on multiple levels.
I have created 5 multi-million dollar businesses over the past 25 years - all based on your takeaways from the 12 Week Year. Being self-aware is the single most effective way to to keep a clear vision of your future & what you spend your time & energy on.
Bottom line is I enjoy following your growth and the “cool things” you impart to all of your followers. Keep it up!
This is one of the rare videos that I proactively reflected on while watching - writing down my thoughts and own ideas. And I signed up to the workshop tomorrow ^^ Thank you!
I break personal commitments into three month “Seasons”: Spring (FMA), Summer (MJJ), Fall (ASO), Holidays (NDJ). I focus on certain things in each season, which helps me define the goals for that season. For example, “Holidays” includes Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years, so my goals for that month mostly focus on relationships and other areas will get shifted into maintenance mode for a bit. I realized this was happening organically so I just leaned into it and it’s worked well for me.
I am in the middle of his alignment workshop right now, as I type, and it is freaking amazing. We've only gone through the first section and it has really provided clarity to me about what has gone on so far in 2024 for me. I have taken so much for granted but my mind is honestly blown right now. I recommend his live workshops and I have found that there is one that he did in January that is also free and I will be jumping in to do that one as well
I haven't read this book YET, but a few weeks before the new year began I learned the basic concept from a short TikTok video. I decided to try in for the new year and I've made sooo much progress on some big goals and I'm just started my second quarter! I really do recommend this to everyone and I'm looking forward to actually reading the book and learning more.
Hi, Ali🎉 thank you so much for your generous help❤ and sincerity❤ I appreciate you so much!❤ I listen to you every day and I participated in the productivity Lab which was absolutely game changing for me🎉❤! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I am so happy to have found you! God bless you!❤😊😊
Love the Blcktken300 content. I think this project is just as essential as HBAR and they both will be great movers
Just what I need I'm in a stage where I need your content I love how introspective and real you've become as well, I literally have a folder names Ali Abdaal
I love this book, it changed my life! Just finishing week 10 of 12!
Damn, I had looked for a summary of this book 2 days ago, and bam there’s Ali serving me the concepts I was looking for
I read this book last year and loved implementing my learnings. Thanks for sharing your recap!
That's a solid list! I'm also big on Blcktken300 , avalanche, algo, and matic too.
A video on prompts for finding your vision would be incredible!!! Amazing video. Thank you for not downplaying the value of goals and destinations. Systems and the journey are amazing but you need to know where you are going. Thank you. Thank you!!!
Great video. The deadline effect is true. A friend and I have been setting weekly goals for ourselves and it definitely helps in productivity. Bob Proctor also talks about how important being emotionally involved in the outcome is.
Timely reminder and especially love the part about the compelling vision of the future. "There really is no reason to act in the way moving forward without a vision of the future that the current state." making it so much more important to address the root cause of it all when we do get stuck.
Thanks for this!
Ali, I want you to know that without you specifically I wouldn't be that passionate about productivity.
Keep fueling UA-cam!
Writing stuff down definitely helps and starting small.
I just came across your videos, but it is very cool to see something that I have not believed could be around. As my journey to Christianity or overall learning about religion has been truly transforming. Good things come into a life that opens the heart. Thank you for your authenticity and sharing your journey with us. Wish you all the best :) Keep the great work.
3 stages of explanation that are easy to understand, thank you for the inspiration, greetings from Indonesia to all.
I'll have to add it to my audible queue. Thanks for the insight as always, Ali.
you are genuine and have pure interest, thank you
Excellent video! I completely agree with these authors. In this day and age, there is certainly not a lack of knowledge but a lack of "consistent execution." That is why discovering and starting on "my thing" has been a decade in the making. This pretty much confirms that, ready or not, it's Go Time!
Honestly thank you for always giving us quality and helpful content
Thanks Ali! You just saved my life 🙏🏾
I loved this book. The concept is brilliant. Especially for solo creators and coaches it makes deadlines so much more tangible. I even made a few Notion templates for it 😁
I can't emphasize enough how much I loved this video
So happy about this video. Thank you Ali!
It was amazing Ali, thanks for recommending this book ❤ obliged
Compelling vision for the new path I am taking❤
Hi Ali! ive watched a lot of videos regarding this book because im broke and cant buy a copy of the book, but your video is the best of them all imo… thank you! finally got what it really is all about
You can find an ebook copy of the book online (illegal of course)
It's super Compelling!🙌 Thanks a lot for this video!🙏💕
As a plant store owner, I’m so bothered by the yellow leaf on your aglaonema 😂
Great content as always!
I love this take. Well articulated
Whatever i get sucks your videos comes and helped my mentality ♥️♥️
Hi Ali. I'm a nurse and I work in the same Trust were you worked, and I'm sure I remember seeing you. I started my Etsy shop back in 2020 during the pandemic just after I returned to work from mat leave. Fast forward I am still doing my nursing job but part time and on the side I do my Etsy shop. I want to grow and I'm working on it to achieve even bigger goals. Watching your videos I must say, they're great! And I find you so inspiring and easy to listen to ❤️🙏I wish you all the best and great sucess to you x
I remember watching a video by you back when I was 14, I think you were at around 120k subscribers, it’s so cool seeing how far you’ve come over the years, I can’t believe you’re at 5 mil now!! 😭 I really want to be something - I want to be someone even. but I feel like fear always holds me back like what if it never works out and people make fun of me? 😓 I feel like such a failure sometimes because I’ve let a lot of great opportunities pass me because I thought I wasn’t good enough. That feeling sticks with me even if I try and progress and change. I just wish I could start over.
Been using this strategy since 2019! Man you’re the best ♥️♥️♥️♥️
what the effects for your life? please share it
I've been reading The 12-Week Year, too. I like the perspective more than quarters of year because it allows more pivot on what's not working.
This is a really great book. Thankyou also for explaining what Ed Mylet was saying. I knew he was saying something of value as he has alot of helpful content but in that case I had trouble trying to understand the concept. Now I get it. Thankyou.
I LOVE your book club videos! They're so helpful. I had been hoping you would talk about this book so this is just pefect!
I’m perplexed by how Ali comes up with videos which are precisely solutions to my issues in the exact same sequences 😮 It’s like my Mind is being hacked. I understand algorithms but this is about things happening simultaneously in real time !
I get it I get it Happens to me a lot on UA-cam it was other UA-camrs lately been Ali for me as well. Syncronisities .
This is a wonderful book I’ve been following this over last few years and see best results
Best Videos are made by Ali. What a great man giving and sharing knowledge.
Inshallah, you will get 10 Million Subscribers.
This was amazing, thank you so much :)
This video is so good!
Thank you Ali, I feel like you gave me that little piece I was missing to make everything work.
I love this book! 📚 It’s really been a great tool for time management.
The Arabic audio is really helpful love it ❤️
Always so helpful, thank you!!
After implementing the 12 week ideas recently i have included a block of time each week to visualise/dream/imagine my future. Ive never had a problem day dreaming but like they say, the execution gap is real.
Mil gracias! Ahora es de mi parte, responder estas preguntas tan profundas!
Thank you Ali, big fan of yours. Your book helps me so much. Applying the strategies you suggested in the books really work! And I can sense that I am improving and finally I felt like I am becoming a better person overall. There is still one thing that I think I am suffering from and I wonder if you had any book you can recommend on that front. Do you have any book recommendation on burnout? Mostly on how to recover from it? Although I kind of remember you talked about it but I don't recall you recommending a book on that or maybe I've missed it. Thank you very much!!
I'm absolutely going to try and get a year ahead on content creation this summer 😊
14:35 i totally agree with this point, Victor Frankl in his book, Man search for meaning, he said the same, people tend to live life, if they have a good / better vision of the future
Great video Ali - I’m working on my first 12 Week Year Cycle and already finding it helpful to prioritise and keep things moving
For me it is a balalnce, there are months were I just dabble, get through life, no focus, no goals, just enyoing my life. Then there are the opposite months, mostly starting with an idea, sometimes you need to wait for a flower to bloom. Some ideas are in the back of my head for months, years, some I bump in to in my spare time and they pull me directly on the waggon and I am off. But I am never always all the time productive.
You are such a great teacher and mentor. I loved your book and your course and videos.
I believe the reason why people cannot execute on their goals is because they may not be framing their perspective on time correctly. I did a school research project of productivity and found that urgency, unsuprisingly, was a key factor in dealing with tasks, and that people are much more prone to do things as soon as their time is almost up. So, being the somewhat irrational beings we are, why not take advantage of this irrationality and leverage delusion in our everyday lives. Besides, human brains have been reported to believe memories that are not real and all that nonsense. What I always say to myself is, "Every day's a New Year, and I want to grow up.". Rember now, time is a subjective concept. Every new years Eve begins and ended within the span of 24 hours. With that logic, we waste a year every day. The point is to be delued, as to not conform to the norms of society. Thank you for reading this is you haven't lost your attention span to unfortunate brain rot. :)
Lol. .I like how you say "leverage delusion."
Love your book summary videos.
Wonderful video! please do more of these book reviews!
"I cut my pizza in 48 slices = more pizza" loll 😂
Thank you so much sir for giving us such a important information of life '
You are super hardworking guy❤consistency is super hard for me😢
The 12 Week Year brilliantly tackles the execution gap that so many of us struggle with. An added tip: Aligning daily actions with these 12-week goals not only maintains momentum but also embeds these critical tasks into everyday habits. 🚀
The biggest challenge for me to implement the schema was how much time it took to plan it. From there I ve mostly observed myself being more and more stressed about not doing what I’ve planned or being done with my goal real quick. I think you need to try it few times to have it working well for. For me though as long as you do your best everyday and don’t waste your time scrolling, you are progressing quite well :)
Ali I love you're bookclub episodes they are so good this has to be one of the best ones yet
My favorite was atomic habits
Great book! Was really excited to see you do a video on this but even more when I heard you say “MY FRIEND DR K”!!!!!!!
Essentially give yourself a week to achieve all your monthly goals.
Lots of Love from Bangladesh🎉❤
If we do the things we're capable of we'd literally astound ourselves
Really define what I'm going through
May Allah bless you with long life❤
Ali your content is incredibly helpful and inspiring to me. I enjoyed your book very much, firstly, by listening to it on audible, and secondly, I ordered it to reread and highlight. It will likely be a book I review regularly, just like I do with Atomic Habits.
Well done. Your friendly demeanor, and emphasis on enjoyment are delightfully refreshing, too. Thank you.
Proverbs 29:18
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
Great content, Ali! Glad I watched this today. I feel motivated to close my execution gaps. I don't like the background music though. It's really distracting!
I made a promise to myself to implement all of these first before I watch another Ali Abdaal youtube videos.
Have this on my reading list and yesterday sought out and watched 3 videos on this book.
Ahh my friend, this video has so perfectly good timing. Huge thanks 🙏
I needed this! Thank you.
Love your videos ❤
I think after identifying the execution gap it is important to identify what keeps you from executing.
I think it is so important to check if closing the gap is really making us feel better and making our live in total better. Often we sacrifice things that are really important to us for things the world implies should be important to us; maybe you need indeed more rest than exercise.
If something makes you miserable, find out what it needs to change it. If it is takes too much to change it, arrange yourself with the situation. Remember the very old saying of success leaders „If you cannot beat your enemy, make him a friend!“ Otherwise give it a try! Then setting short time goals comes in handy. And if you should fail, you can always try again - or make it a „friend“.
Don’t underestimate being content!
i think 12 weeks as name is more clearer since quarterly is more abstract in way where the duration isnt as clear and have to make xtra work (or can forget to do the extra work)
Ali, I watch all your videos and they are amazing. I am also from Pakistan where your relative lives ❤
We desperately need two videos from you.
One is about how to create a compelling vision - everyone says it is important, but almost no one says how to do that.
And the second one is about how to be not productive effectively - productivity people always tell us about the means for how to not play ps5, but people need to rest and do worthless shit to stay sane and it can be done smart.
Hello Ali,
I hope you will see my comment,
I am an arab and english is not my native language, This is one of the most challenging thing for anyone wants to write a book in english .
I hope from you to talk about this problem in one of your videos, that will be very helpful for non-native English speakers.
English is the world language and it's an extreme necessary for achieving great success in the field of writing.
I hope you can talk about strategies, tools, techniques that can help us throw the journey of writing.
Thank you for being a great inspiring person.
I've been putting off reading this book for over a year now but I think it's exactly what I need right now.
Curious to hear your thoughts on Daniel H. Pink - Drive on motivation, since hearing you speak on goal setting.
Thanks for the 12 week thing
Hello Ali..Great video!! Love your content! I was wondering about notion backups. Since there are no built-in back options,.I export the whole database manually,as a .csv file, and then back it up to my Google Drive. If I were to automate the backup process, I need to have a basic understanding of Python (which I don't) and there is no official notion API. Could you maybe make a video about it? (I know my question is completely irrelevant to this video's contents🥲)
My physical chemistry teacher looks like an older version of you. I don't know why😂 but he really does, I mean a lot of similarities in both of your looks. It's like Ali abdaal in his 40s.
Never heard of this book, sounds like must read. Thanks for another great video 🙌
I don't know if what im doing is similar to the book. Basically i just plan the possible events for the month. Then write down the most important ones break it into chunks and by end of the 2nd week I'm done with all my work. Chilling for more work in the 3rd week 😂
Thank a lot!
Thank You So Much for this. Fun fact i was looking for this only 😅.
Can you please make a detailed video on writing a book on productivity step by step?
tbh watching productivity videos feels like it’s doing the opposite of what it’s supposed to be doing. I’m postponing my growth by thinking I need to watch more of these videos to get it right. I’m so tired of the loop.
thank you ali
