I thought about the difference between "cutting corners" and "relaxing" on note

In the workplace, slacking off is strictly forbidden.

It causes trouble for those around you,
it worsens work efficiency,
and above all, it lowers your own reputation.

Slacking off.

The act of so-called "cutting corners" is likely a state that falls on the side of
”poetic justice”.

Conversely,
being "relaxed" is
a necessary state for producing wonderful results.

If you are severely tense,
you cannot do what you are capable of,
and you cannot perform at your true potential.

Having a moderate amount of mental breathing room
actually helps work progress,
and you are blessed with the chance to earn the highest praise.

Now, these kinds of thoughts
can be applied to work.

In this space,
we are noters.

We are people who create.

To entertain the reader.
To bring joy to the viewer.

Create and deliver, and that is enough.

In other words, when creating a work,
you can cut corners and you can also relax.

Because, even if you slack off and cut corners,
from the perspective of the reader on the other side of the screen,
it just ends with "Oh... I see."

Even if you create work while relaxed,
it ends with "I'm glad you seemed to have fun."

There is no interest in the creator's situation or state,
what matters is the work being delivered.

Of course, for those
with whom you have built a connection
through your work, this is not the case.

Here, I am talking about
the entry point for creating.

When I think about the difference between
"cutting corners" and "relaxing"
mentioned in the title on note...

To be blunt!!

It doesn't matter which one it is.

(That defeats the whole purpose 😓)

"Then why
did you write this article!"

In response to that question,
there is a third answer.

That is,
delivering the finished product is all that matters!—a different answer.

Ultimately, as a noter,
if you cannot deliver your work to the reader,
no value is created.
(We are sad creatures, aren't we...)

✔Only by posting
　is there value

Whether you cut corners or relax,
if you don't finish writing and post the article,
it is meaningless.

That is just an excuse from the author's side.

For the reader, it is simply a matter of reading the provided article
and using it as a
basis for judgment, saying 'this is good' or 'this is bad'.

That is a... very severe reality, isn't it.

No matter how brilliant your mind is,
or how rich in knowledge and diverse in ability you are,
in the case of note, if you do not post your creative work,
the value standard is zero.

In the first place, since it doesn't exist in the world,
there is no way to judge it, is there.

Not limited to note,
this applies without exception to
anything that can be called a creative work in the world.

If you don't put it out, it's the same as not existing.

The familiar creator of 'Guernica', 'Les Demoiselles d'Avignon',
and 'The Weeping Woman',Pablo Picasso.

Do you know the number of works
that Picasso sent out into the world?

Wow!!

In total, about 150,000 works were created and
exhibited.

Naturally, if you include works that were not made public or were left unfinished,
I think the number would easily exceed a million.

Even for someone as world-famous as Picasso,
the significance of continuing to exhibit this many works.

After all, it is proof that a work gains value
only when it is released to the world
and evaluated by others.

It is okay to cut corners.
It is okay to slack off.

It is okay to relax.
It is okay to feel good.

But you know.

In terms of "completing a work,"
that is not considered all that important.

Ultimately, the states mentioned above
are just about the "process."

What is important is
completing and posting the work.

If it's writing, it means finishing the piece.
If it's drawing, it means finishing the illustration.
If it's a video, it means filming and finishing the edit.

I have to be careful not to lose sight of that,
because if I emphasize my own claims too much,
I'll end up getting stuck in a rut.

What am I creating this work for, anyway...

You know?

It's all about the people waiting for the work.

That's why,
I can also feel like, "I want to make something again!"

Hmm...

Once again, the town of note
provides me with all sorts of realizations.

My hands are stiff
from typing on the keyboard, though.

Well then, until next time.
Goodbye.
