The first book from social media superstar Ali Abdaal - Britain's most-followed productivity expert Do you never get as much done as you need to? In this practical and uplifting guide, Cambridge-trained doctor, productivity expert and YouTube star Ali Abdaal reveals that achieving your most ambitious goals isn't down to hard work - it's down to enjoyment. If you can make your work fun, then productivity takes care of itself. Drawing on cutting edge psychology, Ali explains how this worldview turned him into one of the world's best-respected productivity experts, with 2 million followers and counting. He reveals the 'three horsemen' that stop us getting things done- the horseman of procrastination (which prevents us getting started), the horseman of distraction (which destroys our focus), and the horseman of burnout (which stops us persevering). And he uncovers three simple principles that will banish these horsemen from our lives- - Make it Easy - by reducing the obstacles that stand between you and your work - Make it Fun - by building games and treats into the tasks before you - Make it Last - by taking active rests and focusing on what really matters. The resulting book is a much-needed antidote to the pressures and stresses of hustle culture. Where most productivity books tell you to work harder, get up earlier, and obsess more, The Productivity Game offers a way to achieve more while worrying less. By making work easy, it reduces the risk of burnout - and makes productivity fun again.
