[Day 12] A busy day where I couldn't get anything done. But that's okay.
Yesterday, I wrote about researching grants and subsidies and deciding to first do everything I could on my own.
Today is Sunday.
I was busy with salon work, and
I couldn't do almost anything
for the "Hair Medication Notebook."

Serving customers from morning till night
Sunday is
the busiest day at the salon.
Appointments were packed from the morning,
and before I knew it, it was evening.
Coloring, cutting, gray hair blending—
as I focused on each and every customer,
time flew by in an instant.
When I got home,
I was exhausted.
Even though I thought,
"I'll definitely make progress on the blueprint today,"
I couldn't do anything.
-----
Feelings of impatience and guilt
Honestly, I felt impatient.
"I decided to make it in 260 days, but"
"12 days have already passed"
"Will I really make it at this pace?"
And then, guilt.
I felt a bit sorry
to write to the people reading this note,
"I couldn't do anything today."
-----
But, I realized
However, while taking a bath at night,
I suddenly thought.
Even if there are days when I can't do anything,
isn't that okay?
After all, I am a hairdresser.
Salon work is my main job,
and facing my customers' hair
is my most important work.
The reason I want to create the "Hair Medication Notebook"
is also an extension of that.
A day spent facing customers
is not a "day where I couldn't do anything."
I was able to think that way.
-----
It doesn't have to be perfect
I decided to make it in 260 days, but
that doesn't mean I have to make progress every single day.
There are days when I make progress,
and days when I can't.
That's fine.
It doesn't have to be perfect.What's important is
not to give up.
Even if there are days when I can't make progress,
I can just start again tomorrow.
I've come to think that way.
-----
The one thing I was able to do today
The one thing I was able to do today
for the "Hair Medication Notebook."
That was,
talking to customers.
"Do you remember what was done at your previous salon?"
"Your records are just left at the previous salon, right?"
While having those conversations,
this system is definitely necessary,
I realized once again.
The discomfort I feel in the field
is the starting point of this project.
Therefore,
today, when I faced my customers,
was not a wasted day.
-----
I will continue to move forward starting tomorrow
Even if there are days when I can't make progress,
that's fine.
What's important is
not to give up.
Without rushing,
but without giving up,
I will move forward one step at a time.

To those reading this
If there is anyone reading this note who is thinking,
"I want to start something new"
"But I'm too busy to find the time,"
I want to tell you.
Even if there are days when you can't make progress,that's fine.
What's important is
to keep going.
Even if it's not perfect,
you can just start again tomorrow.
Let's do our best together.
