The secret to maximising productivity is play (and other insights from Dr. Ali Abdaal)
Dr Ali Abdaal is a world-renowned expert in productivity. He spent a few years working with the NHS in the UK before leaning full time into the videos he was making, initially to help other med students pass their exams.
This grew into a larger offering around making sure your work ethic and your values are aligned in the best way possible.
Today Osher and Ali speak about scientific ways of approaching productivity, methods to make sure that we’re doing more good work in less time, and therefore giving us the free time to recharge, recoup, reflect, and perhaps just think - so that when we’re back on the tools we come with a fresh perspective, fresh ideas, and the ability to produce higher quality work than if we’re up at 3am trying to finish something.
