00:00:00 — Why the book is not a tools guide: it was never about the to-do list

• ★★ When Ali started writing Feel-Good Productivity it was more of a tools guide, because as a self-described productivity bro he loves learning about tools and templates. — 00:00:00 · Feel-Good Productivity (book)
• ★★★ Ali says what let him build a YouTube channel and a business while working as a doctor was never a magical to-do list (his phone is a mess, his to-do list always overflowing) but consistently finding ways to make his work feel good, energising and enjoyable. — 00:00:29 · feel-good productivity (concept)
