dopamine of the day. The thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

Wow, that actually was delicious. Better than usual.

Well, I would like to give you the reframe of the day. We'll of course talk about Israel and the hard news, but I like to warm up with some appetizers.

Reframe of the day. I saw this. Now it comes from my new book, *Reframe Your Brain*. It's just one example. All the reframes are completely different and in different topics, so don't make a generalization about it. But Daniel Rusty tweets this. He says, new book *Reframe Your Brain*, and then he tells this reframe that he liked. Quote, and this is from me: "Doing what you're told gets you a paycheck. Doing what you're not told but is useful gets you promoted."

Now the idea is that if you just do a real good job at the things you're supposed to do, well then you look like somebody who deserves a promotion. But if you do what you're supposed to do plus you notice some things that need to be done that are even maybe above your pay grade but they just need to be done and they're unaddressed, do those too. And you will find that you are immediately the person they think of when they're thinking of promotion.

Now I saw some pushback. Somebody said, "Scott, Scott, Scott, I don't think you understand the real world of work." Okay, right there I should have blocked them, but I read on. "You don't understand that what would happen in the real world is if you did something that was not your job, your boss would yell at you for doing something that's not in your job description. And somebody else has a budget and a paycheck to do it, and you're just doing their job and you're just duplicating work, Scott. So how about that?"

To which I say, I always make the following assumption with my reframes: that you're not a freaking idiot. Because if you were an idiot, then the extra stuff you would do would be things that are other people's jobs that they're paid to do. That's not exactly the suggestion. No, the suggestion is there's something that nobody's doing and you could do it, so you do it. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you stand out at work.

If you're only doing what you're asked to do, you're not going anywhere. You better figure out what you can do that's extra, right? You think of your job as marketing. It's not even
