The Seinfeld Strategy: Jerry Seinfeld’s Hack To Banish Procrastination

Increase Productivity & Banish Procrastination With The Seinfeld Strategy

The definition of success is different for everyone.

To some, success is lining their bank account with millions of dollars.

To others, it's fame and recognition.

Meanwhile there are those individuals who are more concerned about their work output rather than the amount of money or recognition they receive for doing it.

However you wish to define it there's no doubt that Jerry Seinfeld reached the peak of success.

From clearing 267 million dollars in '98 to creating a TV show that's still watched and referenced every single day to being recognized as one of the best comedians to ever do it.

"Seinfeld got lucky, he was in the right place at the right time..."

This wasn't the case.

Jerry Seinfeld understood that in order to attain success you've gotta put in the work.

The work can't be done in flurries...

You can't have long periods of inactivity...

You must put in the work every damn day.

This isn't specific to comedy by any means.

It's All Sets And Reps

How To Use The Seinfeld Strategy


All you'll need to implement the Seinfeld Strategy is a wall calendar and a marker pen.

Hang your calendar on a prominent wall, one you'll see often. Don't put it on the back of a door.

Put in the work towards your goal each day and mark an X on the corresponding day after you've done so.

Perhaps your goal is to transform your physique, in this case your daily work will be doing your workout.

If your goal is to finish writing a book your daily work will be writing 1,000 words.

If your goal is to find new leads for your real estate business your work might be contacting 10 prospective clients a day.

In Jerry's case while he was trying to make it as a comedian each day that he performed his habit of writing jokes, he put a big red X over that day.

Do the work, mark an X.

Easy.

I’m SJ. I’m a fitness enthusiast and published author. I transformed my body from a skinny fat 135lbs with 18% body fat to a solid 192lbs at 8% body fat. I became qualified in a field I was passionate about. I founded several online businesses that allow me to pursue ideas and projects in my life that I am passionate about without having to constantly worry about money. I published several eBooks explaining the training and dieting techniques I used to achieve the body I have today. I learnt a plethora of new information on dieting and fitness by reading and applying what I read, to find out what does work and what doesn’t work, because as I’m sure you’ve noticed the health and fitness industry is full of non-sense claims and BS. I found out what was true and what worked for me and applied that knowledge. And you bet I had fun during the whole process.
