Why I'm making this video (0s)

Ali, a doctor turned entrepreneur and author of "Feel-Good Productivity," introduces a three-part video series on time management outside of a 9-to-5 job.
The series aims to help individuals, including students and professionals, who struggle to find time and energy for activities beyond their 9-to-5 jobs.
Examples of such activities include starting a business, pursuing a side hustle, taking up a hobby, learning a new language, or spending more time with friends and family.
The goal of the series is to provide viewers with philosophies, mindsets, and experiments that can help them achieve more of what truly matters to them outside of their 9-to-5 jobs.
The first video focuses on foundational mindsets and philosophies for effective time management, followed by discussions on avoiding time drains and mastering essential time management skills in subsequent videos.
Viewers are encouraged to watch the videos in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the topic.

Time management is a crucial skill for using time intentionally and effectively, as time is a non-renewable resource.
Avoid unintentional defaults like watching TV, scrolling social media, or clicking on recommendations, which can waste time.
Prioritize tasks and focus on the most important ones to avoid regrets in the future.
Create a daily schedule, set realistic goals, and break them down into smaller tasks.
Minimize distractions, take breaks, and delegate tasks whenever possible.
Regularly review and adjust your schedule to ensure its effectiveness.

Prioritize tasks and focus on the most important ones first.
Avoid taking on too many tasks and learn to say no to less important ones.
Be realistic about what you can accomplish in a day and don't be discouraged by the lack of immediate results.
Take regular breaks to maintain focus and concentration.
Strive for progress and personal development by engaging in activities that enhance your skills and interests.

To avoid feeling stuck in a rut, allocate at least one to two hours daily for activities that progress your life outside of work, such as pursuing hobbies or learning new skills.
Set specific, achievable goals for the year in the areas of work, health, and relationships, and regularly review them to maintain focus and motivation.
Prioritize and work towards your goals while enjoying the journey, as having something to work towards outside of work provides a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
For individuals with full-time jobs, effective time management is crucial.
The mindset of intentionality involves focusing on the present moment and being mindful of time usage, and regular reminders, such as a bell, can help individuals stay focused and avoid distractions.

Time management involves being intentional with how you use your time.
Regularly check if your actions align with your intentions.
Intentionality does not necessarily mean being productive or doing work-related tasks.
It's about being aware of and choosing how you spend your time.
When you don't meet your intentions, don't beat yourself up.
Instead, view it as a coding error and adjust your approach.
