    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.
  • 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?
  • @adarateranroldan
    Definitely agree that being curious about something that didn’t go right is better than being critical.
  • I love vision boards. Its a quick, constant visual reminder of major goals to keep you on track. There is also the proposed manifestion aspect of it and helping to rewrite your subconscious.
  • @samanthasossa
    For some reason whenever I feel down and want to get back on my feet YouTube recommends me your videos, for me you’re just like a really good friend that always has the right things to say. Thank you 🙏🏻
  • This is beautiful and inspiring. This is more proof that everyone can grow an incredible, thriving food forest in their backyard, no matter what the size or zone. Excellent work!
  • "A big part of time management is about prioritization. It's about knowing what you want to say NO to, so that you have the time, energy and focus to say YES to what truly matters to you". 💯💯💯
  • @halameshmosh4687
    Never get bored listening to you while working on my "maintenance" job
  • @alisha.k.a
    There was a time when I was at my lowest and your videos helped me. This is another such time. You reiterated everything I needed to hear. Thank you!
  • @lavanya8176
    Best part for me was when he said Life maintenance is not the goal. How i separated my goals after hearing that one part really helped ! Thanks for this video !
  • @Bird2920
    I have had this mindset about technical work. The backlog of things fix, build, or automate will never be empty. The work will be there tomorrow. 9:03
  • @dylanlyons6
    Productivity = intentionality…that’s all I needed to hear! Now I get it 🤯
  • @Bizcore25
    I literally did not have any idea about productivity or time management thing but you were the first person I watched about note taking and from there started watching about your works and genuinely trying to implement things like taking notes etc and thank you for your time.
  • @jhoaaa
    I followed your 30 Days Productivity Challenge from your Newsletter at the start of the year and let me tell you, setting goals is truly the best way I've found to stay motivated and get things done. At some point we gotta stop living in autopilot and move toward something meaningful to you.
  • @thejaideeparora
    Ali your content is so authentic and pure, that you're in your own league. And that is the best thing. Super useful and informative video. I'm gonna come back to this again, take notes, and take realtime actions.
  • @winslow_j
    I’m glad I came here, this is exactly what I needed. Literally wanting more time outside my 9-5 to build my YouTube 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 YouTube 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 YouTube videos, and edit after work. This is the formula to start
