I wrote this last month - A look back at September 2025 -
Hello everyone. This is Naseka.
I define myself as a philosopher and book reviewer.
I define myself as such.
With September 2025 coming to an end,
since I work as a company employee,
rather than feeling like "3/4 of the year has passed,"
it feels more like "the first half of the fiscal year has ended."
I often handle things by dividing the fiscal year into quarters,
and in that sense,
I feel that this second quarter of fiscal year 2025
was a period where I felt a bit of progress
within myself.
Since I do these fixed-point observations every month,
when I look back at exactlythree months ago,there are projects I started recently,
and things where I significantly changed the content.
Depending on the viewer, even with the content from back then,
there might be people who think,
"You write so much, that's amazing!"
But from my own perspective,
I feel like I was racking my brain
terribly over my weekly articles.
Especially when it came to membership articles,
there was a sense of responsibility,
and I couldn't help but get tense, thinking,
"I can't write something subpar..."
My wife says that when I was writing note articles,
I would write them with deep wrinkles
etched into my brow.
At that time, I had been on note for about a year and a half.
I'm sure there are many people who write articles
as if they were breathing,
but it means that there are also people like me
who are still like that even after a year and a half.
It's only in the last two months or so that I feel
I've finally grasped the right level of effort.
That's why I want people who are still struggling
to write articles on note to take their time.
There's no need to be obsessed with daily posts,
and it's okay to take a break when things are tough.
(I'm stubborn, so I kept going though)
Sometimes,
"I've been doing this for X months (X years),
so why am I suffering so much..."
there might be days when you want to ask yourself
that question.
Even so, I believe there is something to be seen
beyond continuing to write while struggling.
I'm less efficient than others,
so it took me this long,
but I'm sure many people can grasp things
much faster.
Since I, who at one point was so full of pathos
that I even made people wonder, "Is this guy okay?"
have made it this far,
it will surely be okay.
Whether you take breaks or lose your way many times,
if you keep going until you feel that sense of progress,
you will definitely see something.
It is a world where new people visit every day and
those who were here until now leave, but
if you, who have had the chance to read this article,
can find even one thing
that serves as a hint,
I will truly feel that it is worth it
for me to continue writing on note.

本気で仕事のことを考え続けていると、いずれ意識せずとも全ての思考が仕事のこととリンクするようになる。これを「全集中の呼吸・常中」という。この領域まで来ると、意識して頑張る以上の結果が "頑張ることなく" 得られるようになるのだ。まずはそのレベルになるまで鍛錬あるのみ。
