"When you do something shameful for pleasure, the pleasure passes quickly but the shame endures. But when you do something hard for good the effort passes quickly but the good endures". That one hit me hard.

@andrewcroft89 4 месяца назад

5 mins in, I bought the Feel Good Productivity book on Audible.... then kept watching this vid and realised that getting that book (althought brillaint no doubt) was just ANOTHER way of procrastinating and 'not doing the thing i know I need to do' 44mins in, i have paused the vid and started typing away at the thing ive been procrastinating on for a month... i wasn't expecting this to happen! I realised I was just overwhlemed... So: - i wrote my goal - then wrote a few step-by-steps to take (eg 'open this doc', open that doc..) then I just started typing I've found that making tiny tiny tiny written babysteps helps me get it done and break through the overwhelm OK.. BACK TO WORK I GO. love you all

@JohnnySnappleseed 5 месяцев назад

The conversation about learning about productivity as a way of procrastinating hit pretty hard, especially because it's what I'm literally doing right now. I love watching people like Ali and Ryan talk because I feel like I'm learning how to be better, but I haven't even started being. I'm relatively aimless and have a vague path in front of me, but I still haven't put in the time to figure out what I actually want or how to get there because of some deep rooted hang up that I haven't been able to overcome. I know I'm not alone in this, but it often feels like it. All this wandering around through life is exhausting, so I'm going to go put my energy towards figuring out my goals, habits and systems and finding a clear path forward. I'll just have to listen to the rest of this talk later. To everybody who has picked a path and is actively working towards a chosen future, thank you for setting an example and I wish you well. To everybody like me who has yet to take meaningful action, you're not alone and we can get through it.

@badandbookiee9081 5 месяцев назад

Ryan is one of those people who will tell you raw if you’re doing something stupid. I love that about him. But he’s also humble enough to say I don’t know everything, but what I’ve learned so far is that what you’re doing will get you negative results. And will proceed to show you exactly what he learned and how he learned. I love the authenticity. Especially with the comparison for an A-type like Ali. Ryan gives everyone a reality check on letting go of perfectionism and setting realistic expectations. He’s more growth-focused versus results-driven. A true stoic. Excellent episode Ali!! 👏🏻 👏🏻

@ritinchintu6611 5 месяцев назад

@arghya_333 5 месяцев назад

I respected Ryan before, but holy shit this podcast was the most enlightening podcast I have heard. It is super satisfying to listen to Ryan speak his wisdom, especially when you are taking notes. The stuff he talked here resonated with me far more than his Stoic principles ever had (they were good, this was just excellent).

@loriturnbull3356 5 месяцев назад

A few takeaways. Procrastination. Sometimes the problem isn't that there's no goal. It's just that startung is the hard part. goals. This is something I want to work on in the coming year. Not just setting the goals, but also writing them down. And from there choosing one thing to do to achieve that goal. Thanks for sharing this conversation.👍

@SonalChhajed 5 месяцев назад

You conversations make me feel like you are still figuring out stuff and thats really cool. Its so nice to hear that people who have accomplished so much are still in the same boat.

Absolutely mesmerized by Ryan Holiday’s masterclass in this conversation with Ali. His openness and articulate way of sharing wisdom are truly commendable. It’s refreshing to see such humility and focus in a dialogue that’s genuinely illuminating. I know ‘inspirational’ is a term thrown around a lot these days, but Ryan genuinely embodies it. This isn’t just a conversation; it’s a treasure trove of insights. 👏

Look here, Ryan Holiday... I am an avid bullet journaler and it has improved my life tremendously. My bujo is very elaborately decorated. That's what makes it fun and motivating. If I had to open a boring, black and white book every day I would quickly lose interest. So yeah the pen I use for journaling is important. Let people do whatever works for them.

@theundone777 5 месяцев назад

Yeah that was pretty off-putting. For folks with ADHD, sensory issues can be a big deal. I personally find that a really good pen adds an element of enjoyment which helps me keep going. Anything that helps, helps- as long as it's not being used as an excuse to not do the thing that you're supposed to do.

@jbrkjferkjbekjb 5 месяцев назад

it's a balance between 'feel good', discipline, etc... and also it depends on the person. motivation and productivity can be a whole university course in itself with different theories and philosophies. none are necessarily wrong as it's not black or white. what we can appreciate from the different authors is that hopefully - they simplify those schools of thought down from a complex academic POV, backed by research of course and not oversimplify.

@practicalprofessionals1120 5 месяцев назад

Hey all this sounds good to hear but what would you recommend to someone who’s working 10-12 hours in a job (normal working hours in India) now remaining hours left for family, groceries, sometimes going out as well. I have been working on a side hustle but going very slow. Giving the current situation: cannot leave job as well (but don't have as such any financial obligations). So what would you recommend to someone who is in this situation?

@simranjeetkaur3795 5 месяцев назад

Hey! I don't know if I am competent enough to give you advice on this, but I was compelled by your comment which puts into light what is necessarily wrong about these productivity videos. This is not to throw shade at what Ali and Ryan are duscussing here, I believe this session is more about the mindset and less about productivity. I can't even imagine how soul sucking that 10-12 job can be, and I am assuming from your comment that you are more into it for money than anything else. So, I would highly recommend you to make sure you journal everyday. Journalling can help you get some clarity as to how you envision your future, what is it that you would want to invest 10-12 hours of your time into, if you manage to get rid of this job. Then with some clarity on this front you can start to learn what all you require to move in that direction. Be extremely patient and start with small steps. And another important thing is to like Ryan said "showing up" each day everyday for the thing that you would want to invest your time in. Wish you very best with your future.

Maybe consider that viewers already know their “meat” and want to know the best “tools” that help them prepare their meat, or sauce to compliment their focus/purpose.
