Will doing the opposite of what you’re currently doing work?
If doing the same thing over and over again isn’t giving you the results you need, maybe it’s time to do the complete opposite! In today’s episode, I’ll share a clip from Seinfeld that I’m sure will change the way you think about your life, business and frameworks in general.

changing the way you work can actually
be really beneficial don't take my word
for it there's lots of stuff on the
internet about this and in this video I
want to go through a couple of things in
a small clip to help you understand that
the green of the grass actually is
greener on the other side hi my name is
Kay I'm a tech minimalist anti Mac
junkie and I help my clients organize
their technology so they can free up
their time now this video clip I want to
show you in a moment I've known about
this for a long time it's actually a
Seinfeld clip Seinfeld is like either my
life bible as it were i watch it all the
time anyway and this clip came up on my
feed recently and it got me thinking
about how i work and how my framework is
what my marketing is like what my house
is like what my life is like because
there are some areas in my life and my
business they're just not working let's
be honest it's not always you know rosy
everywhere and people tend to do the
same things constantly and expect a
different result I'm guilty of that I
definitely am guilty of it but this
little video clip I'll show you in a
moment got me really thinking so it's a
listen to this and tell me what you
think if every instinct you have is
wrong then the opposite would have to be
right yes I will do the opposite I used
to sit here and do nothing and regret it
for the rest of the day so now I will do
the opposite do something so that's my
point
you're doing the same thing over and
over again you're getting annoyed and
frustrated no matter what it is
obviously I'm a tech minimus and I'm
work
with Max so I'm going to kind of
concentrate on that part my clients come
to me and say this isn't working that's
not working why can't I get on top of my
tasks why is my calendar not going well
because it's always booked why am I
always busy this this notion of being
busy is so foreign to me you can be
booked up but you should never be busy
if that makes any sense I'll make
another video about that so doing what
you're doing right now obviously isn't
working so doing the absolute opposite
doing the complete yeah complete
opposite to what you're actually doing
right now might actually be beneficial
so think about your framework your life
your workflow your business your
marketing see the marketing part for me
I've got to try to make that a little
better figure out these things and see
what has stagnated what isn't going
anywhere
and try to do the absolute opposite this
got me thinking about as I said my
business and my life in general and
certain things in my life and there's
certain parts of my business that isn't
working and I'm gonna be changing a few
things I'm gonna do the absolute
opposite of what I've been doing and I
think it will work I really do believe
it will work so again going back to your
Mac if you are frustrated with things
that are not working for you try the
opposite do something completely
different
yesterday I spoke about task managers
and post-it notes people use post-it
notes well the opposite to that is using
a task manager on your computer and it
could be vice versa but I wouldn't
recommend it so do the absolute opposite
and hopefully that will actually help
you out I'm gonna do it
things are coming they're gonna be new
around here and yeah have a great day
hopefully that's helpful have a great
day and I'll see you tomorrow to it
tomorrow's Friday yet I'll see you
tomorrow have a great day
and remember keep it simple ciao bye-bye
