"Feel Good Productivity" By Ali Abdaal

Feel Good Productivity by Ali Abdaal explores the relationship between feeling good and productivity. Abdaal argues that traditional productivity strategies based on hard work and discipline often lead to burnout. Instead, he proposes an approach that prioritises wellbeing and uses positive emotions to drive focus and motivation. Through anecdotes and scientific research, he examines how to integrate play, power, and people into one’s daily life. This "feel-good" approach helps to overcome procrastination, uncertainty, fear, and inertia, ultimately leading to more sustainable and enjoyable productivity.
