🤔 My views on productivity have changed...

12th Rajab 1447H

Assalamu'alaikum,

If you were to interview me 10-15 years ago on what it means to be productive, you probably would have heard me say things like:

• Set 5-10 year goals

• Build your schedule around your goals

• Work hard every day to complete at least 3 items on your to-do list

• Oh and don't forget to make dua

Nowadays, my productivity advice has completely shifted, focusing more on our purpose in life, leading a life of Barakah, intentionality, detaching from results, and being more present in the moment.

I share some of these shifts in my latest podcast interview with Iqbal Nassim, check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TalrtWdMtew

It's often said that the more you learn, the more you realize how much you don't know. I guess that's true with my journey, which is why this field of faith-based productivity has always kept me learning, and I can never claim to be 'the expert' but only a lifelong student.

Now, I know some of you have probably been planning your "New Year, New Me 2026" resolutions. (Yes, despite my best #GoHijri efforts!) I get it, January 1st is when many of you are thinking about fresh starts.

So here's my offer to help you in your 'new year':

If you want access to my latest thoughts, ideas, and techniques on productivity, ones that have stood the test of time and others that are newly developed, I invite you to join our upcoming Productive Muslim Program starting on Sunday, 22 Rajab 1447H (January 11th, 2026).

This isn't your typical productivity course that leaves you with more to-do lists and more guilt.

This is about transforming from hustle culture productivity to Barakah culture productivity, learning to manage your energy, focus, and time in ways that are pleasing to Allah across all your roles, not just work.

Over 6 weeks, you'll learn:

• How to redefine productivity with a Barakah mindset

• How to manage your sleep, nutrition, and energy for optimal performance

• How to beat procrastination and reclaim your focus

• How to organize your days around salah, not the clock

• How to build lasting habits that serve both dunya and akhira

Plus, you'll get 12 months of ongoing support, including daily BarakahFlow™ co-working sessions, monthly live Q&A sessions with me, and a community of like-hearted Muslim professionals.

The program comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so the risk is on us. If you don't feel this is the transformation you've been seeking, simply email us for a full refund.

Whether you call it a "New Year" resolution or a Rajab intention, what matters is that you're ready to change how you approach productivity, not just to get more done, but to become the best abd (slave) of Allah across all your roles insha’Allah.
