This is an exclusive excerpt from my New York Times bestselling book, Feel-Good Productivity! Chapter 8 of the book is about recharging the proverbial batteries: how to rest in a way that energises you. 
 I explore the ways we might think we're "resting" like doom-scrolling or binge-watching TV, and how these activities are actually draining our feel-good emotions. I also tell you how to recharge by engaging in activities that make us feel good, and the 4 ways that creative tasks unlock our energy. 
 We'll be releasing more of these chapters week by week, so stay tuned and enjoy :) 
 

BONUS EPISODE: Recharge Your Batteries With Feel-Good Tasks (Chapter 8 Feel-Good Productivity)

Dr Ali Abdaal is the world’s most followed productivity expert and author of Feel-Good Productivity, the brand new book that reveals why the secret to productivity isn’t discipline, it’s joy. In his podcast, Deep Dive, Ali sits down with inspiring creators, thinkers, entrepreneurs and high performers to help listeners build lives that they love. 

Ali’s cheerful style, positive approach, and well-researched content have made him a trusted voice when it comes to productivity. The internet means that we have access to more knowledge and information than ever before - but it can also be overwhelming. So, Ali and his expert guests focus on simple, scientifically proven, and actionable steps you can take to make real changes in your life. 

Ali’s a firm believer that happiness isn’t the result of success - in fact, happiness is the key to success in the first place. Ali made this discovery while working as a doctor in a chaotic hospital ward. In the past, hard work had been the answer to every obstacle in his life. But no amount of hard work was going to combat panic and burnout. 

So, Ali dedicated himself to figuring out a new approach to productivity - one that focuses on enjoying the journey and working towards truly meaningful goals. Deep Dive, with its authentic and engaging conversations, will give you all the insights you need to do just that.
