Summary

Ali Abdal, is one of the world's most-followed productivity experts.

His YouTube channel has 5 million subscribers and his new book ‘Feel Good Productivity’ has just launched and if you want to know how to do more of what really matters in life, you need to check this out .

Today he shares insights on the intersection of goals, fun, and intentional living. He delved into the process of writing a book while celebrating the daily adventure of productivity.

In this conversation, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things:

Define Your Destination - Figure out what you truly want before setting goals; the journey is vital, but it requires clarity on your destination.
Focus on What is Fun - Sometimes the best things in life may seem like a chore; find ways to make tasks enjoyable and embrace the process with intention and sustainability.
Celebrate Milestones - Acknowledge and celebrate your productive moments regularly, and plan your journey with a 12-month celebration in mind; focus on the process, not just the outcome.
