About this episode

Ali Abdaal is a YouTuber, podcaster, entrepreneur, and an author.

What would life be like if you didn't get so distracted? If you actually did the things you wanted to do with your productive hours, rather than what you were distracted by. Ali has spent an entire career deconstructing the keys to productivity, and today we get to go through some of the most important.

Expect to learn what feeling good has to do with productivity, Ali’s core foundation to what makes someone productive, what determines whether a content creator will succeed or fail, the biases running your life that you might not be aware of, why procrastination happens and how to overcome it, whether you need a bi plan to succeed in life and much more...
