We have tons of productivity
books that teach us how to
manage time and how to do tasks
with full energy. The same has
been written by Ali Abdaal in his
Feel Good Productivity, he hasn’t
shared anything new.
For example, he has written
dedicated chapters for Habits and
even for the 5-minute rule. These
are widely discussed topics and
they should have been either
concluded in a short format or
removed entirely.
Now, I have only told you two
repetitive topics, there are many
that I will share in the movement.

Make Your
Life
Playable
When we were kids, we used to do
lots of things without any sort of
planning.
We used to go to the garden
and explore every inch of it.
We used to run around malls.
We used to explore new areas
of our cities.
BOOKIESTALK.COM
We did all of these things with no
goals in mind, we did everything
full of energy and enjoyment.
Everything changed when we
started doing jobs or maybe
started a business. We stopped
enjoying life and started worrying
about what would happen next if I
didn’t do this or that.
BOOKIESTALK.COM
Now, this is where Ali comes in and
says,
If you’re working from home
then try to go outside and
spend time with your friend or
just walk around in the garden.
Maybe use a different route for
the garden you want to go to or
any other place.
Simply, change your routine
and see what kind of change
you see.
So try to enjoy whatever you’re
doing and if you’re doing the same
thing again and again then surely
after a few months or a year, you
will start losing interest.

There will be days when you hate
your job or the business you’re
running and that will be those days
when you should take a step back
and do something different for a
few days.
Reset your brain, give it a few days,
and then go to work.
By the way, Ali has a dedicated
chapter on how to love what
you’re doing for the rest of your
life. So let’s briefly touch on that
because it's sort of repetition
which you might have heard
before.

Keep
Going
Forever
There is a book called Keep Going
by Austin Kleon where the author
has shared 10 ways to love your
work. Now, you will be like, I love
my job and I will never be tired of
doing that but the day will come
and you will say “I don’t feel like
doing this”
The same has been shared by Ali
in the Feel Good Productivity.
BOOKIESTALK.COM
He simply says,
Whenever you have having feeling
that you don’t want to work, you
don’t have energy, and so on.
This is one of those times when
you say to yourself that you need
a break.
During the break, you can either go
on vacation or just do a few tasks
every day. Don’t get too busy
during the day. Just do the most
important
work
and
leave
everything aside.
For example, if you’re having a
hard time focusing on work then
do one thing,

If you’re working 6 to 8 hours
every day then from today,
only work for 2 hours.
If you’re not exercising then go
workout.
Meditation doesn’t sound that
good but still do that. Spend a
few
minutes
alone
with
yourself.
Maybe you don’t like reading
books but still, give it a try and
try to stay away from social
media and your smartphone
for the time being.
Try to learn a skill that you like
doing whether it's playing
guitar, chess, or anything.

What Ali says is, work on yourself
and everything will be fixed by
itself.
This was Part 3 called Sustain.

Your Work
Procrastination is a familiar word,
don’t worry, I won't bored too
much but still, I have to talk about
it because Ali has in his book.
The second part of the book is
called Unlock where Ali has shared
a
way
to
come
out
of
Procrastination.
He says,
BOOKIESTALK.COM
It's always better to focus on
the
process
rather
than
focusing on the results.
Whenever you’re taking on a
new task, ask yourself whether
this will Matter in 10 minutes,
10 weeks, or 10 Years. Act
according to and work on the
task as per your goals.
Follow the 5 Minute rule which
says “If you don’t feel like doing
the exercise right now then do it
for only five minutes and see
what happens”
Always track your process, this
gives you an idea of where
you’re at.
BOOKIESTALK.COM
Forgive yourself, don’t let your
past experience ruin your
present or future plans.
Know your fears, most of the
time, we don’t work on our
dreams because we’re afraid of
what will happen next. Rather
than worrying about what will
happen, just do it.
Now, this is what you will read in
the 2nd Part which has around 76
pages. By the way, Ali has also
shared what he applied in his life
from all the science studies that he
has written.
BOOKIESTALK.COM
There is nothing new about
Procrastination in the 2nd part but
as it's written by Ali’s perspective,
things will sound different but it's
not.

Also, this part too has lots of
science studies.

Lessons
Be a child, enjoy whatever work
you’re doing, and always focus
on the process because thinking
about results won’t do
anything, working on the
process will lead you toward
those goals.
There will be days when you
just want to shut down
everything and that’s exactly
what you have to do, take a step
back and work on yourself.
Apply the 5-minute rule to
Everything, if you don’t feel like
reading then try to to read for
only 5 minutes and see what
happens next, most of the time,
you will continue to read.
Motivation will never last
forever, so work on habits.
When we think about death, we
will get a clear idea of where we
want to go in the long term.
Life is not a race, you don’t have
to keep running all the time,
sometimes, it's better to rest.
Failure doesn’t mean you
shouldn’t try again. So don't be
afraid of Failure, learn and grow.
No one cares about what you’re
doing. So change your mindset
and focus on yourself rather
than thinking about other
people’s opinions.
Our life experiences hold us
back from doing certain stuff, so
don’t fear something because
that has happened in the past.
Free yourself and let go of that
Fear.
There is nothing more powerful
than believing in ourselves, if
you’re having doubts then no
matter what you do, things will
not be as per your plans. So
before you do anything, believe
that you can do it.

Quotes
“No failure is ever just a failure.
It's an invitation to try
something new.”
“And in my new life as a writer,
I find that watching, listening
to and even conducting
interviews with successful
authors does more to boost my
own feelings of 'I can do this'
than almost anything else.”
“Scientists have long been
aware of what they call
'relational energy': the fact that
our interactions with others can
have a profound effect on our
mood.”
“You need to remind yourself of
this big 'why' every day and
every hour. Every email you
send, every meeting you hold,
every chat over a coffee - in
ways small and large, they
should take you a little closer to
realizing that ultimate
purpose.”
“Fear is another negative
emotion that blocks our
productivity. It impedes our
feel-good hormones and clouds
our thinking and problemsolving. Procrastination is
natural in the face of fear.”
“The mindset of 'no one cares'
can be totally transformative.
It's one of the simplest
methods I've identified to
reduce my anxiety-related
procrastination”
“The five-minute rule is a
simple but powerful technique
that encourages you to commit
to working on a task for just five
minutes.”
“Tracking your progress
provides you with tangible
evidence that you're moving
toward your goals.”
“Another way to recharge your
energy creatively is by
undertaking a specific project.
Unlike an open-ended hobby, a
project has a definite beginning
and end”
