Feel-Good Productivity
Your keyboard, your rules. Every keystroke should feel intentional.
Feel-Good Productivity applies Ali Abdaal's energy-based framework to your work. Instead of time blocking and task lists, you manage three energizers—Play, Power, and People—to make productivity feel natural and sustainable. The skill helps you audit your energy patterns, identify friction points, and design work that energizes rather than depletes you.
“I've been trying to apply Feel-Good Productivity but I'm not sure where to start.”
Productivity framework based on energy, meaning, and ease—not willpower and time management.

Default shortcuts that fight your muscle memory, slow you down, or conflict with habits from other tools
Execute any action with the key combination that feels natural to you
- Your situation or challenge related to Feel-Good Productivity
- A student overwhelmed by study plans adopts an energy-based system and cuts study time in half while understanding more deeply
- A creator struggling with burnout maps which projects feel good and which are draining, then restructures their content calendar
- A solopreneur optimizing their day discovers that mornings feel wasted on admin work and shifts power tasks to when energy peaks
- Someone working on meaningful but hard projects discovers the 'ease' lever—reducing friction in systems, not pushing harder
Watch the methodology work.
Three specimens from a single real session: the same situation, unaided and calibrated, the full transcript, and the skill answering live in the channel where the work happens.
“Default shortcuts that fight your muscle memory, slow you down, or conflict with habits from other tools”
“['Faster task completion', 'Fewer interruptions to workflow', 'Custom shortcuts for your specific frequent actions']. ["Hands move to the 'right' key without thinking", 'No more accidentally triggering wrong commands', "Feeling of 'this is MY setup now'"]. ["Someone watches you work: 'What key was that?'", 'Your keybindings.json has your personality in it']”
The same skill, where the work happens.
No new app to learn. The methodology runs over the WhatsApp Business API, so the answer lands as a reply in the thread you’re already in — same rigour, zero context-switch.
What it does, specifically.
Each capability is a distinct move drawn straight from the source methodology — not a generic assistant guessing.
Completion Model
Task-based - each rebind request is complete when the binding works
Unit Of Engagement
Single keybinding modification
Graded before it shipped.
Every skill is scored against independent scenarios for methodology fidelity before it goes live — not vibes, a rubric.
Keybinding Configuration
The exact JSON to add to keybindings.json
Binding Conflict Check
Shows what a key currently does vs what user wants
Corrected keybindings.json
Full corrected file when fixing syntax errors
Grounded in the original work.
Every answer traces back to a real source and the practitioner who wrote it — not a secondhand summary. Here is the source of record.
