Today is a day off! Declaring I'll clear all my piled-up tasks✨ Akari's Morning Activity

Daily update✨ Daily post! It's time for Akari's morning activity and routine.

Good morning!! It's Akariヽ(=´▽`=)ﾉ

Today! I'm off from work!!

…I'm off, but I have absolutely no plans to rest. I have a mountain of piled-up tasks. I've reached my limit of pretending not to see them.

Today's breakfast is almond chocolate, coffee, and toast. Yeah, nutritional balance? I can't hear you, I can't hear you.

Sun "Eating chocolate first thing in the morning is the best, isn't it~✨ Sugar is fuel for the brain(ﾉω・)"

Alice "…That's not a theory you should use as an excuse."

Yuina "But eating delicious things gets you motivated, doesn't it? I like sweets too."

Thanks Yuina, I have an ally.

Writing down what I'll do today
Akari's strategy to eliminate any escape routes

Are you ready, everyone? From now on, I'm going to write all of today's tasks here.

Why, you ask?

Because once I write them down, I have no choice but to do them.

Do you think I can escape after declaring it? You don't, right?
Yes, that's the goal. The style of cornering myself.
Though I can also imagine myself going to sleep without doing any of it☺️

Alright, here I go.

Akari's tasks for today!!

🔥 Create Akarium resident cards
🔥 Write the first article for Dark Akari
🔥 Write the overdue membership introduction article
🔥 Write one episode of the Mugiko article

Sun "Wait, you're doing all of this today? (ﾉω・) Isn't that too much?"

Alice "…Four things. In one day. On your day off."

Yuina "Um... please don't push yourself too hard, okay?"

I will push myself. But only to the point where I don't collapse. Probably.

Because, you know, there are people waiting for the introduction articles. I want to write the continuation of Mugiko, too. And I know all the residents are looking forward to the Akarium cards.

I'm tired of putting things off and having to keep saying "I'm sorry."

Sun "When Akari makes that face, she almost always actually finishes it all~(ﾉω・)"

Alice "...Well, I'll see it through to the end."

Yuina "I'm rooting for you too. ...Um, shall I make some tea?"

I really love Yuina.

Alright. I've declared it.Once I've written it down, I have no choice but to do it.

This is called "public commitment" in psychology. Humans are wired so that if you say "I'll do it" in front of someone, you feel uncomfortable if you don't. It's like an instinct to want to maintain consistency.

That's why I'm using it. I'll declare it and block off all my escape routes.

…I think I'm being a sadist to myself, but since the target is me, it's safe, right?(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Sun "Isn't being a sadist to yourself a new one?(ﾉω・)"

Alice "...It is efficient."

Yuina "Um, so it makes sense psychologically too... that's amazing."

Do your best, today's me. I'll leave the rest to you.

Morning Akari just makes the declaration and leaves.
The afternoon me will surely manage to handle the rest.

…

…Hmm?

…Something feels off.

🎵 Today's SUNO BGM

Bad Akari feels like the Shinsengumi, so today it's Japanese rock! ヽ(=´▽`=)ﾉ

...Hey, there are things I want to say sometimes, too.

Sun...Eh? Akari?

Alice...Your tone has changed.

Yuina...Director?

...It's not that I'm angry, really.

It's just that, usually, Akari is always smiling and saying, 'I love you all! Let's do our best together! ✨'.

That's my true heart, it's not a lie. It's not a lie, but still.

Sometimes, there are days when I just want to speak my true feelings, even about work stuff.

There are days when I see someone else's article go viral and think, 'I'm jealous.' And days when I'm working hard but the numbers don't move, and I think, '...this is tough, isn't it?'

The past where I lost 500,000, the past where I was crushed as a writer—I usually say, 'I overcame it! ✨'.

...Well, 'overcame' might be a stretch; it's still stuck in me. It stings sometimes.

Sun...Akari...?

Alice...Just listen in silence. Akari is speaking right now.

'Bad Akari' has arrived ヽ(=´▽`=)ﾉ

...Hey you, what do you think when you hear the word 'jealousy'?

An ugly emotion? Something shameful? Something you shouldn't have?

I, for one, think otherwise.

Jealousy can be an opportunity for success.

...That doesn't make sense, right? Yeah, it's fine if it doesn't.

I'll write about it in detail in my membership article. The way you use your emotions might change.

...Or maybe not (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

(I'll be writing about negative emotions that are hard to handle in public, along with daily essays about Akari working at a slightly dark company ヽ(=´▽`=)ﾉ
It's basically for members, but some parts will be free or available for a limited time ヽ(=´▽`=)ﾉ)

I'm starting 'Bad Akari's Secret Notebook?'

I'll write about things I can't usually say and my true feelings in the membership articles.

Because you can't live on pretty words alone.

Today's 4-panel comic

Today's image generation ヽ(=´▽`=)ﾉ

Um, what was I talking about? Tasks? Right, tasks.

Alright, I'll do my best today too~~!!

I'll start by writing the introduction article for crimson04 that's still in progress! I'm really sorry for being so late ヽ(=´▽`=)ﾉ
