🚀 Starting the Journey: Defining Life Change in a Year
The speaker introduces the topic of life transformation within a year, emphasizing the importance of identifying one's current position (Point A) and the desired future state (Point B). They discuss the challenge of understanding one's present situation and aspirations, which were explored in previous videos of a three-part series. The focus is on efficient and enjoyable progress towards goals, introducing three favorite methods to achieve this. The first method, 'dreamlining,' is borrowed from productivity experts and involves envisioning long-term dreams to inspire action.
🌟 Dreamlining: Envisioning the Future Self
This section delves into the 'dreamlining' method, where the audience is encouraged to list dreams and aspirations for the next decade. The exercise aims to break free from routine thinking and consider what one truly desires, including personal achievements and material possessions. The speaker advises against perfectionism and societal judgment, advocating for a personal and private list that reflects genuine desires, even if they seem unlikely or materialistic. The method is meant to open up possibilities and inspire action towards those dreams.
🛣️ The Odyssey Plan: Charting Multiple Life Paths
The speaker introduces the 'Odyssey plan,' a technique from 'Designing Your Life' by Dave Evans and Bill Burnett, which encourages envisioning life along three distinct paths: the current path, an alternative path, and a radical path free from constraints. The exercise prompts detailed envisioning of what life would look like in five years for each path, aiming to reveal the range of options available and to challenge the audience to think beyond their current trajectory. The speaker shares personal reflections on the impact of this exercise, noting how it can lead to a realization of the need for change and a clearer direction for personal goals.
🎯 Setting 12-Month Goals: From Vision to Action
The speaker transitions from long-term dreaming to setting tangible 12-month goals, suggesting a focus on 3-5 key objectives. They recommend a reflective exercise where one imagines celebrating these achievements a year in the future, emphasizing the importance of having clear reasons (why), strategies (how), and timelines (when) for each goal. The speaker shares their personal goal of achieving financial freedom and how focusing on this single goal has directed their actions and consumption of content. They conclude by emphasizing the value of writing down and regularly reviewing one's goals as a means of driving progress and change.
📘 Conclusion: The Power of Goal Setting and Reflection
In conclusion, the speaker summarizes the three-part series, reiterating the importance of identifying long-term dreams, current status, and setting 12-month goals with clear why, how, and when. They encourage the audience to engage with the full series for a deeper understanding of these concepts and to embrace the process of self-reflection and goal setting.

Transcripts
hey friends welcome back to the channel
so what does it mean for a given person
like you watching this video right now
to change your life in a year well I
think it mainly comes down to one simple
idea which is to go from where you are
right now point a to where you want to
be 12 months from now point B as
efficiently as possible I.E in as few
steps as possible while enjoying the
journey along the way now this is simple
but not very easy and one of the tricky
things is to actually figure out where
you are right now and where you actually
want to be and that's what we figured
out in the first two videos in this
three-part video series so in part one
we figured out what's our North Star and
what is the sort of destination we want
to get to and in part two we tried to
figure out where we are right now based
on our past and present experiences but
now we're bringing everything down to
just the 12 months time Horizon changing
your life in a year and so we need to
figure out how to go from A to B as
efficiently as possible and while
enjoying the journey along the way and
in this video we're going to go over
three of my favorite methods for doing
just that okay so the first method for
changing your life in a year is the
dreamlining method now I first came
across this from Tim Ferris 4our work
week but it's also an amalgamation of a
couple of methods by Jim ran and Zig
Ziggler who were like big OG
productivity Guru type people in like
the 20th century and the idea behind the
dream learning method is that you
basically ask yourself the question in
the next 10 years what are the sorts of
dreams that I might like dream for
myself and I really like this exercise
because it encourages us to go outside
of our usual day-to-day and actually
think a little bit longer term and so
here is the prompt that's worth thinking
about in the next 10 years what do you
want to learn what do you want to have
who do you want to be what do you want
to try what do you want to see what do
you want want to do where do you want to
go what do you want to create what do
you want to contribute to and what do
you want to overcome now what I'd really
encourage you to do is pause the video
right now with all of these 10 things on
screen and just take 10 minutes set a
10-minute timer on your phone and just
like write this down and the goal here
is to go for quantity rather than
quality your goal almost is to just keep
the pen going as much as possible and
almost like write as much as you can
without even taking the pen off the page
yes you can type it if you want but I
actually think there's something even
more powerful about writing this stuff
down and there is some evidence that
writing things down by hand also kind of
increases the Pathways in our mind and
all that fun stuff but I'd really
encourage you to pause the video right
now and please do this exercise I
guarantee if you actually do this
exercise it will change something about
your life okay so I hope you've done
that but if you're struggling with this
then usually perfectionism gets in the
way a lot of people will think oh no but
like now I have to think so hard and
really the point of this exercise is you
don't want to think too hard about it
you kind of know in your core and in
your heart what are some of the these
things that you want and if you let the
head get in the way if you let the Mind
think no that's not possible no I can't
do that no I could possibly have that
then that's sort of defeating the point
this is not a list you need to share
with anyone it's not a list you're going
to post on Instagram it's just a
personal list for yourself and we're
just brainstorming we're brainstorming
some ideas here so one way of thinking
about this actually is that if there's
anything in the next 10 years that you
think you might want or there's even a
remote possibility that you might want
it you have to put it down on the list
and I want you to imagine that if you
don't put it down on the list it is not
going to happen but if you do put it
down on the list then there is at least
a possibility that it might happen so if
you think for example maybe in the next
10 years I might want to write a book
maybe I've got 0.1% certainty that I
might want to write a book that's enough
put put down write a book on your
10-year dream list the other thing with
this method is that don't worry about
coming across as as a materialistic
basically like don't worry about it we
are taught in society that it's wrong to
want things to have but you know when I
do this dream thing you know I want to
have a nice big house want to have a
loving family and also I want to have a
nicer car like I want to upgrade to the
Tesla Model L you know it's it's
actually totally fine to put down these
sorts of materialistic things again
you're not sharing the list with anyone
unless you make a YouTube video about it
so don't allow yourself to be held back
by like the sphere of like no it's wrong
of me to want something that costs large
amounts of money if you think you might
want it put it on the list and you can
work towards it and maybe as you get
there you'll realize you don't actually
want it but at least you're like going
in the direction that you've defined for
yourself and there's a link down in the
video description if you want a free
Google doc that has this all these
questions along with my answers so for
whatever it's worth you can see what
sort of things I wrote down in response
to these questions now especially in
that category of like things that you
want to learn one of your 10year dreams
as mine was might be to learn computer
science and if that's the case you may
like to check out the sponsor of this
video which is brilliant brilliant is an
amazing online platform and it's the
best way to learn maths or computer
science or data science and you can
learn those things in a super fun and
engaging and interactive way brilliant
has thousands of lessons from basic to
Advanced topics and they add new lessons
in every month and recently they've
added a brand new course all about how
large language models work so you can
really understand the science and the
tech behind something like chat GPT now
as I mentioned my personal favorite
courses on brilliant are the computer
science ones cuz actually when I was
applying to Med school I was actually
torn between medical school and computer
science cuz I was interested in coding
and I went for medicine in the end which
I don't regret but I always harbored
this interest in computer science and so
the courses on brilliant you know the
introduction to algorithms and how to
program in Python and the other stuff in
the computer science series have been
really nice in helping me scratch that
itch to learn a little bit more about
how computers and about how coding works
in particular one of the new courses
thinking in code is also really nice
because it helps you solve real world
problems using Code which is also a
really cool way to level up your own
General problem solving abilities
whatever your skill level brilliant
customizes the content to suit whatever
level you're at so it figures out where
you're at and it gives you the relevant
things for that ability level and so if
any of this stands up your straight then
head over to brilliant.org abdal or hit
the link in the video description and
that will give you a completely free
30-day trial and if you're one of the
first 200 people to hit that link in the
video description you will also get 20%
off the annual premium subscription so
thank you so much to brilliant for
sponsoring this video all right so now
that we've got our 10year dreams vaguely
pencil sketched out just a sort of sense
of what I maybe might want in the next
10 years let's now move on to Method
number two which is bringing it down to
a 5-year time Horizon and Method number
two is the Odyssey plan now this is an
amazing exercise from the book designing
your life by Dave Evans and Bill Bernett
they are professors at Stanford Business
School and they have a class about how
to apply design thinking to your actual
life now the idea of the Odyssey plan is
that you have these three different
prompts the first prompt is your current
path and the prompt is write out in
detail what your life looks like 5 years
from now if you continue down your
current path path so again what I would
really recommend you do is you pause
this video and you take action and you
actually spend 5 minutes just drafting
out pen and paper Apple notes whatever
the hell you want to use what does your
life look like 5 years from now if you
continue down whatever path you're
already on and it's useful here to
really imagine like what does an actual
day in the life look like what time are
you waking up what are you doing for
breakfast how long are you committing to
work are you even working like what's
going on there what are you doing at
work what time is your lunch break what
time do you get back from work what do
you do in the evenings like what does a
day in your life look like 5 years from
now on your current path and obviously
you're not going to know if certain but
you can make a prettyy good guess
depending on where you are in your life
right now all right now we come to
prompt number two so ignore everything
you've written for your current path
you're going to design A New Path and
this is your alternative path write out
in detail what your life looks like 5
years from now if you took a completely
different path so I took some people
through this exercise when I gave a talk
at Google a few months ago and all of
them were software engineers and so what
you know their current path was
continuing down the route of software
engineering whereas the alternative path
what I said to them is like all right
guys you're no longer allowed to do
software engineering as a career and you
also get fired from Google and you not
allowed to apply for another job at
Google what does your alternative path
look like in that context so that just
hopefully gives you an idea of like what
we're talking about with current versus
alternative and again I'd recommend you
pause the video write it down because I
guarantee this exercise has the
potential to change your life if you
actually do the work and then once
you've done that we now have the most
interesting question which is ignore
your answers to the first two prompts
the current path and the alternative
path and now write out your radical path
write out in detail what your life looks
like 5 years from now if money and
social obligations and what people would
think were completely irrelevant I would
recommend you pause the video think
about it write it down and I guarantee
if you do it really has the potential to
change your life now the whole idea
behind the Odyssey plan is not that
you're necessarily picking one of these
or picking an amalgamation of them but
it just gives you permission to think a
little bit more divergently to think a
little bit more broad because all of us
have a tendency to stick to the path
that we already on and we fail to
realize that actually what wherever you
are in your life right now even though
it might not seem like it you actually
have loads of different options if you
are sitting here watching this video
video right now on some kind of device
you have more options than like 90% of
the world's population or however Grim
you think your situation individually
might be now whenever I bring up this
Odyssey plan to people there are always
people in the audience that say oh but
you know what about these Financial
constraints I have what about these
family obligations and you know this
sort I can't just abandon my kids can I
and yes I'm not suggesting you abandon
your kids the current path is the path
that you're currently on with all of the
financial and family and all of these
social obligations that you currently
have the alternative path is those
obligations are still intact it's just
you have to take a different path but
the radical path asks us to imagine a
world in which just like imagine what if
money were No Object what if you just
had 100 million in the bank how would
you then be spending your time what
might that path look like and the whole
idea behind the whole social obligation
thing it's not that you're going to
abandon your kids in this in this
radical path the idea is that you're not
worried about what other people will
think often the fear of what others will
think and the Judgment they might bring
on us holds us back from achieving the
things that we actually want to achieve
in life obviously if you have kids
you've got to deal with the kids like
I'm not suggesting you mad on your kids
like that's not the goal of this the
goal is to to just break free of the
limitations of what Society is telling
you you need to do with your life based
on what you've already done up to this
point now I think a lot of people might
think that the value of something like
the Odyssey plan is these alternative
Futures that you're imagining but
actually for me when I did this in 2019
the main value I got from it was
recognizing what is the life I will have
if I continue down my current path and I
actually wrote about it in My Weekly
Newsletter that I've been writing every
week since 2018 so this is what I wrote
out when I was around 25 um and this was
about four something years ago uh and
feel free to pause the video if you want
to have a read of it but then this is
what I wrote in my email afterwards when
I was writing this out I honestly felt a
bit depressed I had a feeling of is this
really it I guess it's similar to the
classic midlife crisis that you're
supposed to have when you hit 40 when
you realize that your life is basically
over don't get me wrong this Future
Vision is a pretty idelic life but
there's nothing particularly cool about
it it's just a very standard result of
the path I'm currently on and if I think
about the climb the process of getting
there it's pretty pedestrian I just have
to do more of what I've been doing for
the last few years churn out more
YouTube videos launch a few more more
online courses and next thing I know
I'll be 30 looking back and wondering
where my 20s went now this exercise was
really impactful for me because it made
me realize that you know this current
path it's not really the path I want
there are aspects of it I like I like
the idea of continuing to make YouTube
videos but do I really want to be
training as a part-time traine in
anesthetics and supervising physiology
on the side just seemed a bit not very
exciting and that was the realization
that made me realize oh hang on I can
make a change to what I'm doing right
now and I can actually choose the sort
of direction that I want to take with my
life and I can actually tweak what I'm
currently doing to land at an entirely
different destination okay so what does
all this have to do with our goal here
which is to change your life in the next
year well the idea behind figuring out
what you want in the next 10 years and
figuring out what you might possibly
kind of aim for in the next five is to
ultimately boil it down to a list of
things that we want to achieve in the
next 12 months and this is Method number
three which is the 12mon celebration
what you want to do is basically pick
somewhere between 3 to five goals that
you're going to focus on for the next 12
months and I call it a celebration
because the way I like to figure the
these goals out is by imagining 12
months from now I'm sitting across with
a friend and we're having coffee and
we're celebrating the progress we've
made in our lives and how great things
have gone over the last 12 months and
usually I like to have at least one
thing for health one thing for
relationships and one thing for work and
I don't like to have more than five
because I think four is a good number
because like more than five you start to
not really remember what you're focusing
on you start to focus on too many things
and so I would encourage you to post the
video right now and have a think 12
months from now what would you like to
be celebrating with a friend in your
health in your work and in your
relationships and any other category of
life that you might choose to celebrate
things in and this is why figuring out
what our 10year dreams are is often
helpful because mostly people find that
a lot of their 10year dreams could
actually be accomplished in the next 12
months if they really set their mind to
it and even just deciding that and
making that list and writing it down and
just looking at it every now and then is
basically guaranteed to change your life
this is this whole idea of manifestation
but manifestation is really just like
you've set a goal in your mind and now
your brain your default mode Network
your reticular activating system all of
these like aspects of the brain and mind
are focused then on like recognizing
those things that will get you closer to
your goal but if you want to make this
even more powerful then there are three
follow-up questions you may want to ask
yourself for each of these three to five
goals and those questions are why how
and when so the first one is why why is
this goal actually important to you the
more reasons you have for doing
something the more likely you are to do
it whereas the fewer reasons you have
the less likely you are to do it if
something is really important to you you
know starting with why really connecting
to the purpose behind it it is far more
likely to happen compared to if it's
just a thing that you just sort of maybe
feel like doing and don't have really
any compelling reasons to do the thing
secondly how are you going to do the
thing what are the three to five major
moves that will help you get to that
goal so for example one of my goals for
2024 is to get into the best shape of my
life why because of various reasons to
involving improving my appearance
improving my cardiovascular health
improving my stamina I don't want to die
young I've kind of got a bit of a belly
and poor genetics so I want to get rid
of all that stuff I don't want to have
my increased risk of cardiovascular
events or Strokes like that run in the
family there's all sorts of reasons I
have for wanting to get into the best
shape of my life and then if I figure
out the how the how is like the three to
five main moves that are going to get
there and so what are those it's gym
three to four times a week Progressive
overload eating healthily and eating
lots of protein and honestly if I
actually went to the gym three to four
times a week with Progressive overload
with healthy eating and enough protein
I'm basically guaranteed to get I'm
basically guaranteed to get to my goal
of being in the best shape of my life
and that's how I know that I've got the
right plan at least for now and then the
final question is when when are you
going to find the time to work on those
specific things and really getting spef
specific on what that actually looks
like is going to be ridiculously
important and if you're interested in
the specific method that I use to manage
my time and do all this stuff that'll be
linked up there and down below it's the
Trident method for managing your time
now for me I'm going to be honest I did
not have a systematic way of setting
goals back in the day I've only recently
come across a lot of this stuff uh as
I've been reading a lot about the signs
of goal setting and things like that but
if I connect the Dos looking backwards
oh you know one thing that I did
actually do is the Odyssey plan and you
can see the results of that um but every
year I would try and set goals and I
would sort of come up with a bunch of
random ones and I've been doing like
annual reviews on notion since 2019 so
but but there were always goals like I
want to learn the guitar I want to learn
how to sing I want to get into a
relationship I want to improve my
posture I want to become a gym shark
athlete there were just too many things
but if I really think about it I only
really had one goal when I started this
YouTube channel and sort of worked on
this business and that one goal was the
goal of Financial Freedom I knew that
like with every fiber of my being that I
never wanted to be Shackled to a job
that I didn't enjoy and I saw so many
doctors around me absolutely miserable
at work and I was like this is my
personal definition of hell so the thing
that I would think about in the shower
the podcast I would listen to on the way
to work and back the YouTube videos I
would I would be watching the courses
I'd be taking the books that I'd be
reading all of this stuff was all
focused on this one goal of how do I
Achieve Financial Freedom you know I was
giving a talk at at Cambridge yesterday
to a bunch of medical students and a
bunch of them were asking you know what
are your tips for making money one of
them was tutoring for 440 an hour and I
was like he was like you know I'm doing
some private tutoring and I was like how
much money you're making he was like oh
it's a lot of money I was like how much
it was like £40 an hour oh my God so
much money it's like $50 an hour and I
was was like ah BR um he I you know I
then asked asked some follow-up
questions and he was I was like okay you
know what are we aiming for and he was
like you know I really want to build a
business and you know make lots of money
Achieve Financial Freedom and I asked
him okay how many books have you read
about building a business he was like
zero I was like how many YouTube videos
do you watch about building a business I
was like you know just yours I was like
do you watch any Alex hosi stuff no how
many podcasts do you listen to about
building business I was like I mean I
don't have time to listen to podcasts
I'm a I'm a student and I was like oh
I'm not knocking the guy cuz it's good
that he was making for 40 quit an hour
as a private tutor but when you set your
goal on like this one thing and you
Orient your life towards just that one
thing you know like Michael Phelps all
he probably thinks about is swimming
right he's not thinking he's not
worrying about all these other 18
different goalss that he wants to
achieve he's focused on that one thing
and doing that one thing really well and
he lives and breathes that one thing
similarly even now I'm still focused on
the goal of growing my business that's
one of my three goals for the year also
focused on my health which is why I did
a personal trainer session this morning
but I'm so focused on that that like
I've like today it's it's like 2:30 and
I've already listen to like three
podcasts at 2 2.5 XP all about growing a
business and this is what I think a lot
of people don't realize that this sort
of stuff doesn't just happen
accidentally I have not met a single
entrepreneur who has achieved Financial
Freedom who has not dedicated a lot of
their life to the Mindless pursuit of
that one thing there's a good book by
Felix Dennis called how to get rich
which basically talks about that if you
actually want to get rich you have to
devote your life to that one goal I'm
not saying that that's what you should
want but if you do want it then it's
worth recognizing that there is value in
focusing there's value in focusing on
that goal and like orienting your life
towards it and orienting the consumption
of content and reading and writing and
like podcasting and audiobooks and all
the stuff towards that one goal if your
one goal is to get really good grades in
your exams then obviously you you
already spending a lot of your time
doing that thing but for some reason
when it comes to non-w workk themed
stuff non-academic stuff we don't
realize that based on the goal you
should absolutely change your behaviors
if you actually care about achieving
that goal now what have I said in this
video I've basically said figure out
what you want in the next 10 years
figure out what you might want in the
next 5 and and then turn it into a bunch
of 12-month goals it's the basic
standard advice that every personal
development and like personal growth and
self-help book has been spouting since
the dawn of time but it's still
ridiculously valuable and yeah loads of
people set 12-month goals but then how
often do they actually think why how and
when how often do they actually look at
those goals you know one thing that
often sometimes super successful people
say is that all you need to do is write
down what you want to do and just look
at that list every every day and even
just that act of writing down what you
want and actually looking at it every
day will nudge your brain and your mind
and your behavior towards that direction
and yeah you might not be able to
specify exactly what the timeline for
the thing is like when you're going to
achieve the goal but if you write it
down and look at it every day it's often
magical how the brain somehow finds
different things to latch onto and helps
you get towards that thing that you
think you want but you have to write it
down so this brings us to the end of our
three-part series on how to figure out
what you actually want in part one we
talked about finding your North Star in
part two we talked about finding where
you are right now and in part three in
this part we've talked about boiling it
all down to a series of 12- month goals
and defining a why a how and a when for
each of these three to 5 12- month goals
if you haven't seen the other videos in
the series I'd recommend you might like
to check them out especially if you've
got to this part of the video you
probably Vibe with this sort of stuff
and genuinely these are all like
journaling prompt things like like no
one can tell you what you want in life
it's a really hard question to answer
but it's not an impossible question to
answer and I think a lot of us have the
default assumption that like oh it's
just you know it's it's sort of like the
meaning of life like like there's no
answers but it's it's not like the
meaning of life in that there are
answers and those answers you can get at
through a systematic process of
journaling prompts of reflection and
ideally of writing things down and the
importance really of writing things down
it's like if you're trying to solve a
complex mathematical equation you
wouldn't try and do it in your head you
would write things down and the complex
mathematical equation of what you
actually want is exactly the sort of
thing that benefits from some serious
thought serious effort because if you
change the things that you want that
completely changes your direction in
life and so really the more effort you
can put into figuring out this
fundamental question of what do I
actually want the more likely you are to
actually get it now if you haven't seen
episode one or two in the series episode
one will be linked over there around
finding our North Star and episode two
will be linked over here around figuring
out where you are and what you actually
want so thank you so much for watching I
hope you enjoyed the series and I'll see
you in the next video bye-bye
