One simple request please bring - India focused pricing for RizeI am so happy you are giving 25% off but on a monthly thing it's still a bit expensive. Following you since 2018 - bought the book loved it, please consider this.

@AKSHATBAHETY 3 месяца назад

Or maybe just monthly billing costs the same as India for indian credit cards or stuff (not sure if that's a way to track but please)

I love the rant about the distracting notifications. I personally do struggle with procrastination but the constant notifications and sounds thing annoys me to the core as it is. That's why my phone is on vibrate at all time and I have notifications completely turned off for 90% of the apps even when I'm not in a Focus or Do Not Disturb mode.

I used to occasionaly watch videos from this channel a few years ago and always thought that most of his tools/apps recommended are just fancy and mostly used for aesthetic purposes when a simpler alternative would suffice. However, watching this video, it's nice to see that he recommends simpler tools now which are easier to get around and are equally, if not more effective. Thanks. Liked.

Instead of toggle, I use *clockify* , which has the same UI as toggle. Like Ali mentioned, if you forget to stop the timer then you'll have to back date. With blocking social media, I use *minimalist* . It's been such a game changer for me. Thanks Ali for the video.

The "doing it with friends" part actually does work. Like a month or so ago I was staying at the ttrpg club for a pajama night, and me and 3 other ended up sitting in a dark room with red lights and just drawing and chatting about our characters. It was the most productive I've been in years. Although, sadly it requires a tool far not everyone has and obtaining it is a whole different story (friends)

Another fantastic breakdown of the tools out there. I've been in the productivity space for a good 2-3 decades, and have been a long-time Toggl user for years, I even have timers tied to NFC tags on the inner page of my notebook for various meetings, focus time, projects, using my Android + Tasker + the Toggl API. Works a treat. I also use a TickTime cube, after trying the Timeular cube for a brief period of time. Rize looks fantastic as well, although the telemetry is almost certainly blocked by corporate policy and firewall rules. I spend 99% of my time daily on a Linux laptop (daily driver OS for the last 25 or so years), and it looks like Rize still says Linux is "coming soon", but I haven't seen progress on that in a few years. If they get that working, it would be amazing!

People who prop their phones up or don’t silence notifications want to be distracted. I noticed this in myself when I am doing something I don’t want to be doing I will grab at anything to be distracted. Once I realized this, it solved all my problems. When I notice I am going off track, I immediately figure out why and fix it. Also this helped me figure out what I love doing and what I need to delegate! If I have to complete the task, I just give myself a reward at the end!

@amyyoder768 3 месяца назад

One of the things I noticed was that after turning off all of the notifications and putting them back on as I need them -- every app prompts me every single time to set up the notifications again, which I don't --- but it's such a great visual that these apps are DYING for me to spend my time on them. Because when it comes to apps, we're not the customer. We're the product. Those two things changed the game for me : realizing I'm the product and turning every notification off as default

I just noticed that your room is the same colors as your book. But if you're holding your book upside down. You have the blue on the right and the red on the left and then the yellow kind of color down below on the mustard greeny couch. That's really kind of cool. 😁

@nellie2m 3 месяца назад

Just tried one sec. It requires some setting up on your phone which is not user friendly and can only work with one app unless you buy the pro version. Just so people know for full transparency. BUT I now have my phone (samsung) on the greyscale setting and I'm kind of loving it. Easy on my eyes and my brain.

Love some of your videos Ali but I do hope you share a conversation with dr K and address the topic of toxic productivity. Or at least connect with your fan base who are majorly burnt out and moving away from a productivity centred life. Much love.

These videos have been immensively helpful as focus and distraction is one thing i havent completely elimanted yet. I broke every other bad habbit but not this yet. I have improved a lot but not entirely and also i lsiten know to classical music for background music but want to experiment with no music at all.

@user-ex3mx7hk4l 3 месяца назад

Electronic music really helps me focus & keep on track due to its faster beats. Making a personal playlist was essential because I didn’t like many of those tunes on other lists. Classical music puts me to sleep so I took my son’s advice & love it.
