Come on in. Grab a seat. There's room up front. We won't mention your stocks today. Not a good day for the stock market, but on the other hand, it always goes up and down. No big deal, right? All right. Let's see. I believe I needed this. Everybody, stream on in here. You don't want to miss the good stuff. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time. But if you'd like to experiment, trying to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen, a jug or a flask,
A vessel of any kind. All right, how many would like me to say that again, but in old-timey voice? Old-timey voice, okay? Same thing, but old-timey voice. Ah, there's a cup and a mug and a glass, and there's a tanker, a chalice, a stand. We had a canteen, a jug, a flask, but a vessel of any kind. You'd fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day. The thing that makes everything better. It's called... A simultaneous sip from the 40s. And it happens now. Did you ever wonder why everybody talked like that? I've never figured that out. Like, did they all get together and say, hey, Bob, the way you're talking, that's very cool. I think I'll copy it now.
I don't know if he can. It's just the way I talk. Just watch me. See, I'm doing it too. And then, you know, somebody else hears something like, what are you guys doing? You talking old timey? How do you know it's old timey? It's still the present day. I don't know. I just feel it will be old timey someday. Next thing you know, everybody's talking that. That's how it happens. All right. You're wondering, where's your refrain for the day that will change your life? Make everything better, better, better. I just happen to have one for you. It's all queued up. Do you ever have a situation where there's something you know you need to do, but you can't get yourself motivated to do it because it's hard or it's unpleasant or it's going to hurt?
Everybody, right? So we all have these procrastination situations, not because we're procrastinators per se, But because the thing is just sort of unpleasant, so you just keep putting it off. But you know you have to do it. Like a dental appointment or something, you know you have to do it. So here's the reframe. Instead of I'm afraid to do the thing I know I should do, it's usually fear that keeps you from doing it. Instead of that, you say life is short. Now you might say to me, Scott, that doesn't really seem to line up with the original frame. Is that really the answer to I'm afraid to do the things I know I should do? Is the answer that life is short? And the answer is yes. Because once you set your brain to the idea that you don't have infinite time, then everything seems more important, including that thing you have to do.
So as long as you say life is short, and then you just sort of think that way for a moment, watch how easy it is to do unpleasant things. because you'll think, you know what? Life is short. It's also easier to do pleasant things when you say life is short, but you'd be surprised how unpleasant things become easy when you think in those terms. That's your reframe for the day. That one you're gonna have to try because logic will not tell you that that works. And I've told you before that reframes are special in the sense that they don't have to make sense. I don't know how many things would fall into that category. it's a unique category that the reframe doesn't have to be logical or factual it just has to work and if putting yourself in that frame of mind that life is short if it works well you just do it that's that's the whole that's the whole idea now some of you want to catch up on the saga of carl the fly if you were here yesterday you know that carl the fly
was a very plucky and determined fly. And he decided that for my entire show, he would have someplace to sit on my body to give me the most unpleasant morning you've ever had that involved a fly.
