#184 Simplify in Your Own Style

"Simple is the best! " I think this is common throughout work, relationships, etc. What is it that you see once you check your task inventory?

We are faced with many kinds of tasks every day, from the most urgent tasks of the day to tasks that take into account your schedule for the future.

At such times, we sometimes feel as if we are buried in them! I am sure there are a lot of people who feel like they are suffocating under a pile of tasks.

In such cases, I recommend visualizing everything once and then simplifying it by removing unnecessary things. Any by visualizing, I don’t mean in your mind, but actually writing everything down.

After that, we can roughly divide the tasks into those that are simple, those that require a little thought, and those that will be tackled at a slightly later stage.

This inventory process will lead to an understanding of the tasks that you need to face in the immediate future and the ability to classify the tasks that you will work on for a longer period.

If you are feeling overwhelmed with daily tasks, even if they are not work-related, please give it a try!

Relationships may be a bit more complex, but the basic "inventory method" remains the same.

If there is a relationship that feels uncomfortable to you, I think it is a sign.

Simplify it to the relationships that you want to focus on, the relationships that you want to continue.

But some may think it's impossible because they have to face that person on a daily basis.

If so, try to draw a line in the sand in a positive way for now.

If you do that, it will make a big difference psychologically.

And I don’t believe it is ever your fault or the other person's fault.

There is no need for judgment at all, and I believe that judgment is sometimes the element that complicates things.

Relationships, in particular, have a large psychological component, and you may find it difficult to think simply.

But drawing the line in a good way means setting healthy boundaries.

I believe that by separating the two, we can focus and connect with the people we truly love.

Another important factor is to create your personal style.

No matter how good something is, it is meaningless if it does not suit you.

It will not lead to continuity.

It is only when it suits you that you will continue with it, and it will produce results.

And because it is simple, you can continue.

I have planned my business schedule for the next three months, which I do regularly over the weekend.

Last week, the big boss came to Japan from New York, and I realized that it is a time of change for sure.

I believe that we need to consider how we should look at times of change as an opportunity and how we should simplify our organizations.

In the Kanto Region, the season of fresh greenery is starting.

When I take a walk, I can see the new shoots and leaves growing.

The photo shows a picnic I had with my friends the other day.

Quality time like this with close friends and feeling nature simply give me energy.

I wish people in all regions and countries a week with as many smiles as possible!
