I wrote a book for people who are stuck in the endless loop of 'I didn't get anything done today again...'

Every single day, for some reason, I have no time!!!!!!!!!

Before I know it, my room is a total mess. I pull out clothes to wear today from a pile of laundry, fix my bedhead in a filthy mirror, and head to work while stepping over scattered items.

'Let's hang out sometime' never actually happens, and the events or exhibitions I wanted to go to are already over. Even so, my days off are spent just trying to recover, and I stay in my messy room, huddled under my blanket, looking at everyone else's sparkling lives on Instagram.

I can't balance taking care of myself, working, and having fun at all, and even though I'm not balancing them, my schedule is packed, and I'm just...busy for no reason.

Because of that, I couldn't do the things I wanted to do at all. Even if I thought, 'This is nice,' I wouldn't follow through, and since I wouldn't take action, nothing ever changed. Crushed by schedules and exhaustion, I often felt despair, wondering,what am I even living for?as well.

'No time → No motivation → Nothing changes'I felt like I could never escape this negative loop. Waaah, my friends all seem to handle things so efficiently, so why am I the only one living such a chaotic life!?

...And then, I realized.Everyone is actually managing their time properly. (Well, obviously.)

They wake up early to carve out time, move while working backward from deadlines, or cut plans short. When we went on trips together, by the time I woke up, everyone else had already finished their makeup and gotten ready, and I thought, 'Maybe we're living on different timelines.'

That said, I can't wake up early, and I'm bad at working backward. I can't make strict plans, and I've never once managed to stick to a routine I decided to do every day.

Even so, the reason I've been able to energetically update my note and social media while working as a company employee, attend a voice acting agency to aim for affiliation, and wander around overseas for two months while working is simply because Istripped away everything unnecessary.

I stopped doing everything I was just doing out of habit or thought I had to do, and once I carved out some space, I could finally see the things I 'wanted to do.' I could finally start doing the things I 'wanted to do.'

This book contains what I did to reclaim my time and the things I want to do, after having been completely overwhelmed by time.

There might be some things in here where you think, 'You shouldn't have stripped that away!!', butI believe that in the process of stripping things away, you will find the time you truly want to cherish.

Please feel free to copy what you can and find the time-management technique that fits you perfectly! By the way, as is typical for my books, it's a gentle book that you can read quickly in about 1-2 hours.

I'm going to share some behind-the-scenes stories.

Now, regarding this book,it was the most difficult birth I've ever had.Since my previously published books had several base articles on note that I could re-edit, this time 90% of the content is new.

Moreover, since time management is something I do unconsciously,'Waaah, I don't know how to write this!'I fell into a slump.

I couldn't stick to the generous schedule my editor set for me at all... I actually sent the first chapter in January.That's way too late.I tend to miss deadlines for every book I write, but this was the hardest one to put into words yet.

I was so loose that I shouldn't even be talking about time management, and at one point, publication was even in jeopardy, but thanks to my editor delaying the publication date and adjusting the schedule, I managed to get it published.

This is the kind of blunder that might mean I'll never be published by KADOKAWA again. I truly cannot thank them enough!!! Oh, I'm so relieved it was published safely!!!!!!!!

Please give me a kind Amazon review.

It's that kind of relaxed time management book. It's a very laid-back book, so it might suit some people and not others. To those who read it, please, I humbly ask for your kind... your kind review...!

Well then everyone, let's spend our time in a relaxed and fulfilling way!!!
