I don't know who needs to hear this, but don't chase comfort at the age of labor, so you won't labor at the age of comfort.

I donāt know what I couldāve accomplished if procrastination wasnāt part of my life
-
Perfectly timed. It is almost as if these videos are directed at the problem Iām dealing with at the time they come out. Great video Ali š
-
Love how the format of the book was literally thought for procrastinators, short and straight to the point m. Amazing recap man, as always!
-
I wasn't going to watch this video thinking: here is another procrastination video. I am not procrastinating I either don't have time or lack of motivation. But after listening I find good value. Thanks for this video.
-
Another brilliant video from Ali packed with such useful information. Definitly pre-ordering the book!
-
I am SO EXCITED TO READ THIS BOOK. Pre-ordered it the same day you announced it, this chapters will definitely be my favorite
-
I really appreciate this video and the ideas youāve presented. Iāve never really thought to consciously think about the reasons why I procrastinate. Now that Iāve sat back and thought about things Iāve avoided doing in the past, the reasons behind my hesitation to act are extremely mundane, and really shouldnāt have / shouldnāt be impeding me. This is the first time watching a video on the topic where Iāve actually stopped at different points, reflected and been able to recognize the issues that I subconsciously create for myself. I am grateful to you for having presented solutions and practical examples in such a digestible manner. I will start following these steps effective immediately! Keep up the good work!

As someone who studies the impact of teacher identity on teacher quality, I vouch for the importance of identity in people's action.
-
Great book! I'll get around to finishing it eventually.
-
I absolutely love your channel, thank you so much for creating this type of content. Is very very helpful!

I love how you get straight to the point in your videos instead of going off topic on irrelevant things in an intro

This is only the second time Iāve listened to you yet Iāve learned so much. Thanks!

Clear your mind and cite one good thing in your life. Something you are grateful for. Something you are proud of. Something that makes you smile. Breathe in as you think of it.

Your video edits are getting better! Well done! š
-
Excellent overview with useful tips. I found the the Stress free productivity to be very helpful in realizing the fear and body language I use when procrastinating. I recommend that book for those who prefer the big picture thinking.
