That is from the book 'The 7 habits of highly effective people' by Stephen Covey. It's a very insightful and interesting read if you're up for it. This specific quote is about being proactive in your life.

SUMMARY - but watch the video to fully understand! *Why is life so busy?* 1 - *Busy Bandwagon* - We think being busy is a good thing and feel like we should always be doing something. Results in Endless Tasks. 2 - *Infinity Pool* - Sources of an infinite supply of content., such as Social Media. Results in Endless Distraction. We can't rely on willpower to counteract this force, since these are habits. *The 4 Part Framework* : 1 - *HIGHLIGHT* - Set a single intention each day that will be priority. You can be intentional and focused, rather than busy or distracted. Consider Urgency, Satisfaction and Joy when choosing this. 2 - *LASER* - Make your distractions hard to access, rather than relying on willpower. Create Friction between you and your distractions. 3 - *ENERGIZE* - Don't just focus on the brain, think about the body. Keep yourself healthy. Factors like sleep and diet are important to keep your body healthy and energized. 4 - *REFLECT* - Reflect often on what works with you and what doesn't Learn from this and experiment. Remember that you are in control of your time and energy. Find what works for you.

@pleasemusic3314 4 года назад

He posts videos, is a junior doctor, reads books, plays guitar, writes blogs, attend meetings/calls and teaches online. How does he have the time for all of this? Does he watch other RU-vidrs’ videos? Does he take breaks? Or blogging and reading books is his way of taking breaks from working? Did he trick his brain into thinking that attending trivial works is the BREAK Time? I’m asking because I feel like I have to watch a RU-vid video whenever I’m taking a break. I know it’s bad and I’m working on it. If anyone reads this comment, please try answering my questions. Because I believe they’d greatly help me grow. Thank you.

@cara3942 4 года назад

I think he developed this mindset through conscious effort and overtime it became his nature. I dunno about you but my brain automatically categorises work under the category of “suffering” like I need to sacrifice something I like to get the stuff done and achieve my goal. But I don’t think Ali’s brain does that. So now he no longer has to “trick” his brain to do the work bc both his conscious and subconscious brain doesn’t view reading books and coming up with ideas for RU-vid as “suffering”. Does it make any sense to you? Btw this is just what I’ve understood from watching his videos and what I’ve said could be incredibly different from what’s going on in his head but I hope this helped you in some way :) if you haven’t already, try listening to the podcast he did with Noah Kagan it was super informative

@Productimothy 4 года назад

He also plays the piano, sings (takes singing lessons), makes podcasts with his brother, and listens to other podcasts. The way he has done this is by shaping his lifestyle. Pastors, especially good youth pastors, develop their faith and knowledge by incorporating it in everything they do. Their whole life is built upon their mindset. Most really hate school, because they're forced to do/learn something they don't want to. Ali has found all the things he loves doing and learns to make a profit from most of them. This way he is earning money to pay for the things he needs while having fun and enjoying the jobs. If Ali writes a book, it should be about adopting his lifestyle: doing what you love and getting paid for it. Lol, it should be called "The Productivity Grease Monkey" or something of that nature. Just know that Ali can't be himself alone. Without his friends who are into stuff he is, he could never harness the energy of synergy. I honestly need to sit down for 3-4 hours and just ponder what I love, how I can make money from doing so while having fun, and what it takes to be a productivity grease monkey. Thanks for the thought!

@Productimothy 4 года назад

I think that's how most the world works actually. Hey, we should start a discord revolving around finding out Ali's secrets of life by pulling apart all his content. If you have ever read the book "Ready Player One" (Lol I read that before I figured out Ali did too.), you will know about Wade Watt's super in-depth research of Halliday, and the massive amount of data passionate people collected over the years. There was practically a whole society that revolved around Halliday's childhood and all his thoughts, everything he ever did, etc. We should start that society. Actually, yes... I LOVE this idea. Making it now. K, done... Here it is: (Pls join) discord.gg/fgUZKa Edit: I take back the whole "let's just stalk Ali and learn all about him, his childhood, etc." Going through the messages I sent through earlier, I think I would much rather find out how to "become" Ali. (Adopting his productivity principles.)
