A Day in the Life of Ali Abdaal’s Personal Assistant

good morning and welcome back to a day in my life i'll be sharing a full workday as i don't have university which means that instead of training to be a junior doctor in the uk's national health service i'll be focusing all my attention on improving one person's life ali abdul i have a guilty start to my day at 9 00 am as waking up late means i've officially missed our morning power hour with the inner circle team but it's nothing that a mixture of various forms of sugars for breakfast can't fix i'm usually the last member of the team to wake up so i catch up with the boys on slack while having the food the topic of conversation today is the dislike of late night team meetings and something about doubling income from shares overnight i start work by checking my own tasks and also see what ali has over booked himself for today i've realised that there is actually going to be little opportunity for him to be a waste man as he's over-committed to back-to-back meetings all day i also realize sheen has managed to book herself in for a meeting with ali something we've been planning behind his back as the only way to get this man's attention nothing on his calendar requires my immediate input so i move on to email between the marriage requests fan mail questions and payment receipts reading emails is at once the most entertaining heartwarming and confusing part of my day there must have been something interesting early recently posted because there is a fresh wave of wife applications getting the inbox down to zero is harder than only getting a six pack so i decide to pause work on this for now by the way the marriage tab in the email is absolutely real and you can get in touch with us with any personal requests the emotional rollercoaster however is far from over me and angus need to go through scholarship video applications for our new youtuber academy something i've been trying to put off doing for the last two days the process of rejection genuinely breaks my heart so i decide to put it off for a bit longer and go on my daily-ish walk to shake the feeling of being a dream maker i am listening to tim ferriss's new podcast with michael phelps which towards the end makes a surprising turn towards mental health and prompts me to make a few notes which i sort out on ocean once i get home at around 11 40. i then get started on watching the application videos for the next few hours i mix it up by switching back and forth from chrome to safari which really is the wildest form of fun i have during lockdown me and ali are also trying to convince angus and christian that there is value in having team social nights which hopefully will start up again soon after some more investment talk with passions rising in the group chat after socks being suspended i continue my own life in blissful ignorance and at 1 30 i make lunch and actually attend the second group working session of the day these are always so heartwarming and i get to live vicariously through people lucky enough to have pets after getting in a few mcqs for the day i finally catch up on a call with ali and james clear i am pinching myself listening to the gems here and feel super inspired so i dive into some research on what we're working on between this and chatting with angus on our need to get educated on the stock market a few hours have passed at this point and it's almost 6 p.m which is when i have a call with ali so i quickly order some food i bribe myself to do videos like this with unhealthy food which is not a good long-term strategy as it arrives i carry my pizza and ali to the window it's lovely to be able to look at the view every now and then and i find it makes long meetings a lot more enjoyable if i have my casual chats i won't do them on my desk i'll do them here if i have my formal chats i'll do them um casual type in my book yes congratulations we try to explain to each other why we haven't done what we were supposed to do again and we try to plan our tasks for the upcoming week ali is actually planning on changing his glasses which is a huge event for us as a business between this and the new shirts i prepare myself mentally for the upcoming wave of extra wife emails he's the one that does the typing in these meetings and it's my goal for 2021 to be able to type faster than ali so if anyone has any tips please let me know i'm guessing i could have seen tomorrow exciting system solution to people problems love it yes let's talk about you again yeah what about me um why do you feel overwhelmed um i had promised myself i would sleep early today but not getting started on products after our chats is about as likely as ali sticking to his daily macros so i take my laptop to bed this time and spend the next few hours working on one of our projects i realize we haven't sent our daily youtuber email course so at 11 pm i end up calling ali and trying to negotiate him into getting this done hello hey ali actually surprisingly compliant and now that i've got something else ticked off my to-do list i can get back to work my night ends at 2 am after being engrossed and reading on the psychology of happiness and meaning wishing i could actually talk about all this right now i save it for my meeting with him tomorrow and go to bed realizing this is exactly why i keep missing our morning power hours i promise myself for the 10th month in a row to fix my sleeping schedule i am honestly endlessly grateful to the most productive wasteland out there for giving me these types of days thank you abdul and if you did make it so far thank you so much for spending this day with me i hope you have a wonderful one yourself [Music] bye
