I think I've said this before, but note is amazing.

Good evening!

How was your day today?

For me, it felt like I was doing normal work for the first time in two days.

The day before yesterday I went bowling in the afternoon, and yesterday I was on a business trip out of the prefecture.

I was working normally today, and I encountered a phrase that I decided I should avoid using, so I would like to introduce it to you.

It is,

"I think I've said this before, but regarding the matter of..."

the,

"I think I've said this before" part.

I was suddenly addressed that way, but it was the first time I had heard it.

However, I thought that if I said, "I haven't heard that," it might cause the person to lose face, so I let it slide.

By saying "I think I've said this before," the person being told might also be thought of as, "I wonder if this person has forgotten."

Memories are such vague things, yet the fact that they start a conversation that way makes it seem like they are wrapped in the feeling of "I am right!" from head to toe, and I thought it was self-centered and unpleasant.

I felt it was a very unnecessary phrase.

So, I will make sure not to say it.

I wonder if it's okay to write about such negative things, or rather, things I didn't like, on note, but I want to keep what I felt as words, so I've decided to write it down.

However, I was able to switch to my next task immediately, so I think that was good.

I thought, "I've got material for note," and switched my mindset right away.

At that time, I thought that note also had that kind of functionality.

Not only positive things, but even if something unpleasant happens, I realized that I can plant it in the soil of note as a 'seed for a story'.

But thinking about it now,

'I've said it before, but I love it.'

'I've said it before, but you look cool.'

'I've said it before, but you're a great cook!'

Things like that are nice!

It depends on what follows these words and in what situation or context they are said.

This is another benefit of note.

While writing, my thoughts get organized and I can view things from a different perspective.

This time, I was able to recognize once again the effects of note, which I use as a matter of course every day.

I've said it before, and I might be saying it almost every day, but

Thank you for reading again today!

Have a great day tomorrow too!
