Important hints on what to write on note were hidden in the reason I got a gastroscopy!

Yesterday, I had a gastroscopy.

I could say I get them regularly, but when I made the appointment, I found out it had been 10 years.
Time really flies.

Actually, I was never good with gastroscopies.
When they put the camera in through my mouth, I would gag, and it felt so awful that I had been avoiding it for some reason.

That said, at my age, I'm starting to worry about various parts of my body.

I had been thinking, "I really need to get checked out."

There is a reason why I decided, "I'm going to get the exam after all."

Today, I thought the reason I decided to get a gastroscopy might be a hint for "what to write on note," so I'll write about that.

A brief self-introduction

My name is Kanazawa, and I am a web writer.
It has been exactly three months since I started writing on note.

Leveraging my past experience as an instructor and operations support for an entrepreneurship school, I am posting daily "tips for writing notes that get read."

Thanks to you, I have over 800 followers, and the number of paid notes I've sold is almost reaching 100.
I've been able to keep this up because of you, the reader. Thank you so much.

The reason for the gastroscopy was a conversation with a mom friend

The direct trigger for me to finally get the gastroscopy I had been avoiding was a conversation with a mom friend in my neighborhood.

Mom friend: "I had a gastroscopy the other day, and they found a polyp.
They removed it right there, so I felt relieved, but apparently, it counts as surgery!"

Me: "Surgery!? Isn't that a big deal?"

Mom friend: "Not at all!
It's over in a flash while you're having the gastroscopy, and it didn't even hurt?
Plus, it seems like I'll get insurance money, which surprised me!"

Me: "Wow! But, don't you gag?"

Mom friend: "Not at all!
It used to be tough, but now it's easy because it's all over while you're asleep."

So, you don't feel sick even if you have a gastroscopy now~
And if they find a polyp, they can remove it on the spot..."

In that case, maybe I'll give it a try!

Feeling that way, I thought 'strike while the iron is hot' and called to make an appointment.

This conversation is actually happening on note as well.

When you open note, do you intend to read it seriously, hoping to learn something?

I often open it casually, just like flipping through a magazine in a hair salon or a hospital waiting room.
I'm sure many others feel the same way.

In that context, an article you happen to see can become an unexpected trigger and give you a push.

I feel that is similar to how a conversation with a mom friend led me to think, 'I should get an endoscopy.'

A casual story can be the trigger that gives someone a push.

Of course, notes written by experts may be highly reliable and popular.

For example, if a diet expert introduces a 'training method to lose 10kg in 3 months,' it will likely be read by many as reliable information.

But there are many people in the world who think, 'I don't need to lose 10kg' or 'I don't want to do training.'

For such people, 'how an ordinary housewife lost 3kg without exercise, just by doing housework' would be much more desirable information.

Plus, if it were written that '5 other mom friends around me were also able to lose 3kg the same way!', wouldn't people even be willing to pay to know that?

Your experience is a treasure.

I think everyone has a specialty that people would call 'amazing' if they heard about it.

For example, someone I recently became friends with through note has been to Antarctica.

When I was surprised and said, 'Wow!', they laughed and said, 'It was a field trip during my student days, so it's not that big of a deal.'

But for me, it's different.
After all, I met someone who has been to Antarctica for the first time in my life, didn't I?

Just hearing that story made me excited, and I genuinely thought, 'Please tell me more!'

In this way, things that are commonplace to you can be valuable experiences to others.

What you think is 'not a big deal' might be the very thing that gives someone a push or becomes the trigger for them to take a new step forward.

That is exactly why your experience is a treasure.
I really hope you will write about it on note.

Your experience might become someone's strength.

What seems casual to you might be valuable information to someone else.

For me, writing on note was an extension of the blog I used to write as an entrepreneurship school instructor, something I did naturally.
However, for those struggling with how to write on note, it is appreciated as useful information.

If you know that your own experience can encourage someone else in that way, wouldn't ideas for what to write start to come to mind?

I am sharing how to write on note to connect through 'likes' and empathy!

In this note, I write about my experience providing writing support at an entrepreneurship school and things I have realized through my daily posts.

I would be very happy if you could use it as a reference when writing on note.

Everyone must have something that others would call 'amazing'.
Since that is your strength, I hope you will enjoy writing without overthinking it.

May your casual note become a great strength for someone.

It was fun today, too.
Thank you.
