Hello. I'm President Yasui, a solo entrepreneur running a company that primarily inspects high-pressure gas facilities.
Thanks to everyone, my schedule for May is filling up quite a bit. I'm truly grateful.
As my schedule fills up, tasks like administrative work and sales-related chores also start consuming more time. Time spent on travel also becomes significant.
During the slow seasons, I used to have so much free time, but once the busy season starts, I feel like I don’t have enough time at all.
"Wasting time" may seem unnecessary, but perhaps it is necessary in its own way (there is no such thing as laziness), though it still tends to leave you with a sense of loss.
Yet, when we have an abundance of time, we tend to spend it easily on things that may seem wasteful.
It really is because we have limited time that we are able to treat it with care.
Every night before bed, I plan my schedule for the following day. But the time I can actually call my own—my disposable time—is only a few hours in the evening.
And in those hours, I do things like work, read, write in my journal, plan my schedule, and blog—before I know it, time has flown by and it’s time for bed.
When a computer or smartphone is nearby, I end up doing unrelated things even if it seems like I’m being productive.
If I use a stopwatch to time myself while writing a blog or journal entry, I mysteriously become more aware of time and can concentrate more effectively.
This act of “focusing” is extremely important. When it comes to efficiency, there’s always the question: is multitasking or single-tasking better? It turns out, single-tasking seems to have the upper hand.
Multitasking may appear more efficient at first glance, and maybe it’s fine for simple tasks. But when it comes to “thinking” and more intellectually demanding work, focusing on one task at a time—single-tasking—is more effective.
To truly value time, being busy helps, and tackling tasks one by one is more efficient.
In that kind of high-paced, fully engaged life, having a “day of doing nothing” becomes something that helps restore and rejuvenate the spirit.
But if most of your week is filled with days of doing nothing, then those days aren’t special anymore.
Oda Nobunaga famously said, “Life is fifty years.”
If we want to treasure our time, we must be aware of time.
If you set a limit, like “life is fifty years,” then naturally, you’ll begin to grasp the finite nature of life itself.
Even if it’s just a mindset, try putting a limit on your time.
For me, I tell myself: I have 30 years left in life.
Only 30 years.
So—how will I live them?
Today’s quote:
“If you become conscious of the fact that time is limited, you’ll understand how precious it truly is.”
See you next time!
