I'm hosting a #MyRelaxedTimeManagement note contest!

Hello! I'm Yuki Ishikawa, an author and writer.

To celebrate the release of my new book, "My Relaxed Time Management for Those Who Can't Try Hard," I'm hosting a note contest!

"My Relaxed Time Management for Those Who Can't Try Hard" is a book that proposes ways to create "white space" so that even those who aren't good at trying hard can do what they want to do. I've compiled realistic, relaxed time management techniques unique to me—a lazy person who openly declares, "I want to live as easily as possible!"

While writing this book, I interviewed three close friends and included their stories in a column. What I felt during that process was,"Everyone has such interesting time management techniques!?" That's what I thought.

Even people who get 50 times more work done than I do have surely stopped at some point in their lives, wondering, "Why do I have so little time?" and have created time through trial and error. And they've done it in their own unique ways.

You don't have to be a super businessman or an amazing person; I think everyone has their own unique time management techniques. That's why I decided to plan this contest—I really want to see everyone's time management methods!

Actually, every time I release a book, I think, "I want to hold a note contest," but I always worried it might be presumptuous... However, I thought, "Wouldn't this theme be super easy for people to post about!?" so I decided to go for it.

By the way, please don't worry if you think, "Does this even count as time management...?" In my book, I boldly say things like, "Let's make all our socks the same" or "It's okay not to wear makeup"... (the ultimate time management technique).

A substantial note is fine, and it's also okay to write about several time management techniques in multiple posts. There is no limit to the number of entries!

Winners will receive a small gift from me: a critique and a signed copy of the book. I haven't decided on the number of winners yet, but I'm planning to have several.

Once again, the theme is "My Relaxed Time Management." The submission deadline is Monday, June 30th.

I look forward to your entries!
