Hello, I’m President Yasui, running a company specializing in high-pressure gas equipment inspections as a solo entrepreneur.
Although the calendar says it's spring, today's highest temperature is just 4°C. With snowfall and strong winds, I find myself longing for the warmth of spring even more.
Have you ever forgotten to submit something important to a client, missed deadlines repeatedly, or rushed to make a payment after realizing you had missed the due date? Nobody wants to experience the panic of a late invoice payment.
I personally rely on Gmail, one of Google's services, which offers automatic email categorization, task management features like adding emails to a To-Do list, starring important messages, and marking emails as important.
Since I am not immune to forgetting things, I actively use these features to minimize the chances of oversight.
Some people use smartphone apps for notes, while others prefer traditional planners. Business professionals, whether using digital or analog tools, manage their tasks in their own ways. In today’s world full of information, a To-Do list is no longer an unfamiliar concept.
If you ever receive a complaint from a client due to a missed submission, you might think:
"It’s my fault. I need to be more careful."
But the key turning point is whether you also ask yourself, “Why do I keep forgetting?”
If you repeatedly make the same mistakes, you may already feel that your clients are losing trust in you.
Without proper self-management, no improvements will be made.
When we’re young, we may have relied on our sharp memory and energy to juggle multiple tasks. However, as responsibilities increase, this approach no longer works, and we can easily become overwhelmed by numerous tasks.
Managing tasks effectively in such chaotic situations becomes crucial.
Enhancing self-management skills through self-reflection, self-analysis, and learning better work processes is vital.
If you delay your work, your clients—who depend on you—will also be delayed. As the ones positioned downstream in the workflow, we cannot afford to be forgetful.
Breaking tasks down into smaller components helps identify necessary information and prioritize what needs to be estimated or arranged first.
Self-management is not something that gradually levels up over time—it’s a technique that you can start applying today.
Take a moment to reflect:
- Have you forgotten your own tasks?
- Has someone forgotten about you?
If you acknowledge that people naturally forget things, you'll realize that both you and your business partners are prone to forgetfulness.
Instead of relying only on verbal communication, leaving a written record through emails or SMS is a considerate practice for both parties.
Creating an environment where both sides can efficiently proceed with their work is just as important as the work itself.
Today’s Key Takeaway
"Develop self-management techniques and become a highly capable professional!"
