Hello, I’m President Yasui, running a one-man company mainly engaged in the inspection of high-pressure gas facilities.
Golden Week is just around the corner. From now through June, I have several major projects lined up, so I plan to take extra care of my health to avoid burning out.
Today, I spent time cleaning up the warehouse. When I’m not actively helping on-site, scrap materials tend to accumulate. If I don’t dispose of them regularly, they start to take up too much space.
Disposing of scrap isn’t a quick task. When multiple projects pile up, I end up stuffing everything into cardboard boxes for later. Before I know it, I have four or five 40cm boxes stacked up, and the warehouse capacity is maxed out. That’s when I finally say, “Alright, let’s deal with this.”
Even just dealing with scrap takes a lot of energy. How we allocate our energy during the day is really important. Today, I spent most of mine on this.
Because I let things pile up, I had to muster up both mental and physical strength to get it done.
Things like data entry, receipt processing, and paperwork — I’m sure there are people who tend to let those kinds of small tasks pile up too.
For me, administrative tasks are manageable since I can do them on my PC, but when it comes to outdoor chores, I tend to procrastinate.
Still, it’s my job, and if I don’t do it, it’s obviously going to keep piling up.
Ideally, things should be handled as they come, but when tasks only affect yourself and not others, it’s easy to just leave them be.
But “piling up” doesn’t just refer to physical things. Chores, admin work — all of it slowly accumulates inside us.
Unfinished tasks remain as mental fragments of “things I have to do.”
Carrying around all these "I have to do" thoughts keeps your mind constantly busy and restless. And when you have too many tasks, you don’t know where to start, which means you don’t make progress — and the pile just grows.
If you're someone who tends to let things accumulate, I recommend setting aside time to organize. Decide whether to take action or let something go.
If you keep everything open and unresolved, your mental load never lightens. Just like a physical space, a tidy mind with fewer “things” is better for clarity and peace.
It’s fine to say, “Once it gets to this point, I’ll do it all at once.” Setting rules like that helps prevent infinite buildup.
Today’s quote:
"Don’t let things pile up. If you must, set rules for how to handle them."
See you next time!
