Do videos without music or at least do just one video without music I think you can do it
@aliabdaal kindly share the that three part for creating focus logs
I just wanted to say thank you for your hard work and amazing energy!
Great value man😊
Having a wonderful lifepartner whom pushing you forward in hard situations is like getting luck from hardwork

2025 will be the best year of my life
Mine too.

Let me join you to manifest this!
2025 Will be the best year of my life! 😊❤😊❤
Manifesting this!!
Yes it will be!!
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 !
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.
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.
Can I just say how excited I am to see Ali’s tips of how to be productive while being a parent.
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.
Yeeees me too!
@@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
@@Hehe15066 it will still come in handy.
There might be one or two things “9-5ers” can take and transfer into their personal schedules.
4:44 what a cute Ali and wife Izzy moment
came to say this! so cute! so happy for them
yeah they seem to get along really well
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 😊
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. ❤
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.
They’re so cute together! 🥰
must be some good good.
I noticed that too. They are so cute.
@@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
That’s true ❤
4:44 Habbit: 7 – Have a Partner Who Will Constantly Motivate You
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 😂
😂😂😂😂
I thought i was the only one that caught that! Lmao 😂😂😂
Comment made me smile too. Haha
Remember, Ali only says the facts 😉
Why does this makes me laugh so hard lol
Multimodality multitasking – this is what I call “using my time twice”. Such a good life hack. Great video, thank you!
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! ❤
“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.
I’m wishing you all the best. I hope by this time next year, you are living a life you love.
How is it going??
If need someone to talk, here I am!
The most difficult is not to get things done, but rather knowing what you really, profoundly want.
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
I started listening to Ali Abdaal since I was in highschool 2019, motivated me to study hard now I’m a proud degree student having performed well.
