The more you think you 'have to write properly' on note, the less likely you are to keep it up. I write 'for myself, when I want to write.'

Actually, I was one of those people who almost gave up on note as soon as I started.
(Or rather, I have given up many times.)

For the first few articles, I wrote with enthusiasm, thinking, 'Alright, I'm going to do my best!', but halfway through, my writing gradually came to a halt.

'I have to write something more useful.'
'I have to make this an article people will want to read.'

As I thought like that, writing started to feel like an obligation, and it gradually stopped being fun.

But one day, I suddenly realized something.

Didn't I start writing on note 'for myself' rather than 'for someone else' in the first place?

From that point on, I changed my mindset.

I only write when I want to write.

If the theme changes, I just start writing in a new direction as if nothing happened. (I even quit Ken Honda's writing marathon after one session.)

And that's perfectly fine.

Strangely enough, the articles I wrote with that relaxed attitude were the ones where my true self shone through, and I started receiving comments from readers saying, 'I resonated with this' or 'This hit home for me right now.'

Rather than when I was desperate to write something useful, writing naturally actually reached people more effectively.

From that experience, I came to truly believe that 'you don't have to force yourself to work hard.'

So, if you are currently tired of writing on note or are worried that you 'can't keep it up'...

Please try to loosen up a little.

You don't have to think about continuing, and it's okay if your themes change.

It is enough to write for yourself when you want to write.

I believe that such a relaxed approach is actually the best secret to consistency.

And today, if you felt even a little bit like 'maybe I'll try writing again,' please try leaving just one line on note.

That one line of yours might become important words for someone in the future.
