Feel-Good Productivity: How to Do More of What Matters to You

Product Information

And so, every weekday at 10am GMT for the next 4 weeks, I’ll be doing a live streamed coworking session that you’re very welcome to join. If you have a passing interest in entrepreneurship or just want to get a fresh perspective and critique of the stereotypical 9-5 lifestyle of the modern world then read this book. But there wasn’t one particular productivity app, technique or to-do list system that enabled me to do all of it.

Super excited to announce that I'm co-hosting a very special live event with creator and investor, Sahil Bloom on January 26 at London School of Economics! We should allocate our resources – like our time, energy, and talent – on the tasks that bring us closer to our long-term goals. Dr Ali Abdaal - the world's most-followed productivity expert - has uncovered an easier, happier path to success. As such, we rarely stop to question where this treadmill is going which is where this metaphor really comes into its’ own – the traditional treadmill of life ultimately goes nowhere – step on it when you go to school and step off it when you retire, perhaps with money in your back pocket but with a body that has been aged by a 30 year career of stress, commutes and worries over falling behind.He suggests that we should take the 20 years of retirement and spread them out throughout our life – or, mini-retirements as the author phrases them – where each year you take a few months off whilst running your business remotely and with as little contact time as possible. Ali uses his scientific training to provide a set of principles and practical strategies that you can use to enjoy their work, not just endure it. As part of a new monthly series I’m going to update my public journal about the various goals I’m working towards and make sure I’m allocating my resources to those things that give me the most rewarding outcome. It reminds me that the revenue isn’t important – I’m enjoying what I’m doing, I’ve got amazing things on the side of my full time job and I’m helping people.

It’s a short and easy read, clocking in at just 304 pages (including occasional diagrams and illustrations). Shoshin refers to a state of mind in which we approach every task and situation with the curiosity, openness and humility of a beginner. By applying business theory to our personal lives, Christensen shows us that success is more than just hard work. It’s packed full of great examples from the world of business that we can apply to make our lives better. You can also check out his podcast too – The Tim Ferriss Show – which is always full of interesting advice or interviews.In 2021, Ali took a break from his medical practice to focus full-time on his work popularising the science of human flourishing and high performance. These principles, strategies and mindsets that helped me generate energy and feel good so I could do more of what mattered to me.
