This is an exclusive excerpt from my New York Times bestselling book, Feel-Good Productivity! This final excerpt from chapter 9 of the book is about how doing what matters to you is the ultimate energiser and productivity booster and how you can find what matters to you.I explore the science of motivation, and how in addition to intrinsic motivation, there are 3 forms of extrinsic motivation that move us. It’s widely known that when we’re intrinsically motivated to do something we’re more effective and energised in doing it, and extrinsic rewards can make us less motivated to do something for its own sake. Well, that has been proven to not be exactly the case.📚CHECK OUT MY NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING BOOK FEEL-GOOD PRODUCTIVITY 👉AmazonWebsite🔗 CONNECT WITH ALI📲 Join My Telegram Community🎥 YouTube Channel🐦 Twitter  📸 Instagram  💻 Website👥 Linkedin📄SHOW NOTES & TRANSCRIPTVisit the website for the transcript and highlights from the conversation - https://aliabdaal.com/podcast/🎙 ABOUT THE PODCASTDeep Dive is the podcast that delves into the minds of entrepreneurs, creators and other inspiring people to uncover the philosophies, strategies and tools that help us live happier, healthier and more productive lives.Want to start your own podcast?

This is an exclusive excerpt from my New York Times bestselling book, Feel-Good Productivity! Chapter 6 of the book is about the law of inertia and how it applies to productivity, just like it does to physics. Three major factors prevent us from being productive, and they are uncertainty, fear and inertia. As Newton recognised, it takes more energy to start something than it does to keep going. In this chapter, we’ll explore some methods that will help us overcome inertia and get started! We'll be releasing more of these chapters week by week, so stay tuned and enjoy :) 📚CHECK OUT MY NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING BOOK FEEL-GOOD PRODUCTIVITY 👉AmazonWebsite🔗 CONNECT WITH ALI📲 Join My Telegram Community🎥 YouTube Channel🐦 Twitter  📸 Instagram  💻 Website👥 Linkedin📄SHOW NOTES & TRANSCRIPTVisit the website for the transcript and highlights from the conversation - https://aliabdaal.com/podcast/🎙 ABOUT THE PODCASTDeep Dive is the podcast that delves into the minds of entrepreneurs, creators and other inspiring people to uncover the philosophies, strategies and tools that help us live happier, healthier and more productive lives.Want to start your own podcast?

This is an exclusive excerpt from my New York Times bestselling book, Feel-Good Productivity! Chapter 4 is all about what I call 'The Unblock Method' - my way of getting over the barriers which cause procrastination. Procrastination can be a really difficult problem to beat. It can leave us feeling frustrated, anxious, and angry with ourselves. A lot of people think the key to overcoming it is to simply push through and draw on discipline and motivation - but this isn't reliable, and can do more harm than good. Instead, the unblock method gets to the heart of why we procrastinate, so we can deal with it at its root cause.

In today's episode, we're going to be hearing from a group of relationship experts to find out about how we can make our love lives more fulfilling and meaningful. From dating advice to how to handle conflict in long-term relationships, these conversations should give you everything you need to not only find a partner, but maintain a healthy relationship, too. I learned so much from these guests - Matthew Hussey and Logan Ury's advice on compatibility and going on second dates is brilliant, and hearing from the Gottmans and Hannah Witton about positive communication has really improved and strengthened my own relationship. And I even discuss the importance of alone time with Francesca Specter, so we can all remember that it's important to take care of ourselves as well.
