Hello, this is President Yasui. I run a company specializing in the inspection of high-pressure gas equipment as a solo entrepreneur.
"There's something I need to do, but time keeps slipping away."
"I only meant to check social media for a moment, but now it's this late...!"
Have you ever experienced this?
Of course, I have...
I find myself repeating the same patterns every day.
I want to use my time efficiently.
I want to spend my free time doing things I enjoy.
Even though I think that in my heart, I end up wasting time, and before I know it, another day has passed.
There are countless books that introduce ways to use time effectively.
Some suggest using planners, while others offer practical methods to implement.
Here’s a book I recommend as a reference:
"People Die in the Blink of an Eye: The True Identity of the ‘Time-Devouring Monster’ and How to Defeat It" by Mai Sato
Interestingly, very few books rely solely on "willpower" as a solution.
That’s because human willpower is unreliable.
A Simple and Clear Method to Use Time Effectively
That is—creating a schedule.
This method is often called "Time Boxing," but simply put, it means setting a structured schedule for your tasks.
It might be helpful to incorporate various techniques that are commonly suggested, such as "only replying to emails in the afternoon."
For me, my biggest "time-devouring monster" is my smartphone.
I just can’t put it down.
When my Apple Watch sends a notification, I instinctively pick up my phone.
Recently, I’ve started to wonder if this habit is negatively affecting my productivity.
That said, the Apple Watch is useful, so perhaps tweaking my notification settings could help me manage it better.
In daily life, we make countless choices—from deciding which shoes to wear to what clothes to pick.
Even small decisions like these gradually drain our mental energy.
Now, if you add mobile games into the mix, you end up with a constant flood of choices.
By the time night falls, exhaustion sets in, and tasks that need to be done get postponed with the thought:
"I’ll just do it tomorrow."
Then one day, you wake up and realize you’ve grown old.
It’s tragic to think of a life wasted like that...
Even small habits, like doing all your shopping in one place, contribute to efficient time management.
Managing time is also about managing yourself.
I, too, am determined to improve.
Today’s Quote
"Time management is self-management. Let’s treasure our time—our very life—by creating a structured schedule."
