Realizing that "it's fun to be able to continue note" is the "first step to consistency"

Posting every day is fun ♬

People who think so are happy.

"Wait!? If that's the case,
is it not fun for you, shogo?" you might be wondering.
You are sharp (;^ω^)/

You are sharp (;^ω^)/

Since the opening sounds as if I am saying
"continuing to post is painful,"
it is no wonder you would misunderstand.
It is no wonder you would misunderstand.

As someone who posts every day, to be honest,
there are "waves" in daily posting.

Due to physical condition, time, mood, etc...

Due to various factors,
thinking "I don't want to write today..."
is the same for me as it is for you.

I am by no means a superhuman.

Even so...
the reason I am able to continue is thanks to "habit."

Also, it is because I realize that I am in a blessed environment
where I am "able to post."

I truly feel that on note,
it is all thanks to the existence of readers and followers.
I am deeply grateful.

I am grateful (Thank you ✨)

The theme this time is
realizing that "it's fun to be able to continue note"
is the "first step to consistency".

The other day,
I read a wonderful article.

It is Hiiro-san's

Continuing gently,
my note life and self-care.

It is.

After reading this article,
I reaffirmed
how to enjoy my note life.

"How should I
enjoy note?"

"It became painful while I was continuing..."

"I don't have time. I'm suffering from a sense of obligation..."

I truly hope that people like that
will read Hiiro-san's article.

From here on,
please let me share my own words
that I felt after reading Hiiro-san's article.

Since this contains
some spoilers for Hiiro-san's article,
if you are going to read on,
please be sure to read the article below first and then come back.

Well then, let's go (^^♪

✔ Don't overdo it!

After reading Hiiro-san's article,
the first words I felt were
"Don't push yourself!".

Those who leave note.
Those who give up on posting.

Overall, they have 'common points'.

That's right!

They are
pushing themselves too hard!!

Somewhere along the line, they are
putting too much of a burden on themselves, beyond their actual capabilities.

Whether it's reading time...

Or writing work...

Or posting frequency...

They imprint a drug onto their brain saying 'I can do this,' and
try to exceed their limits more than necessary.

Certainly, in the town of note, there are people who boast a huge amount of reading,
post terrifying word counts,
and continue to post not just one article a day, but three or four...

There are plenty of people who make you want to rub your eyes and ask,
'Is this person even human?!' 😫

When you compare yourself to such people,
you might feel sad, thinking your own tiny note account is nothing...

I understand that feeling.

However...

The grass is always greener on the other side!

Please enjoy your own garden!

Hiiro-san
explains it as follows.

That is exactly right.

If you push yourself
to chase after things beyond your ability,
it is not 'fun'.

And,
writing or content that is 'not fun'
will not resonate with readers.

The readers waiting for you
want to read your fun writing.

They are looking forward to
your heart-leaping expressions.

Ultimately,
'the writing you want to read'is what they want to read.

✔I want you to
　entertain me♬

As someone who has read many articles
on note for three years,
those who post writing
that makes me feel 'I want to read this!'are
moving up to a stage or two higher.

Of course,
it will also be reflected in numbers
such as the number of likes, followers, and views.

More than common, everyday knowledge,
precisely because 'you want to read it yourself',
it becomes core information that captivates readers.

Since you are going to the trouble of posting,
I want you to increase your fans.

That is what I think.

But before that,
please enjoy it yourself.

With your abilities,
at your own rhythm,
and with your own feelings,

please feel 'fun'
and face note.

As a result of that,
your fans will notice.

If you cannotenjoyyourself,
who else will you entertain?

I hope this serves as an opportunity for you to think about it once.

In Hiiro-san's article,
concrete ideas are presented
as tips for continuing to enjoy note.

Every concrete idea is an appropriate solution,
and I felt they were common to many people.

Especially the point about 'enjoying freedom of expression'
is a point I agree with, saying 'Exactly!'

The wonder of writing the world you want to express on
note without pushing yourself too hard.

I strongly feel that it is precisely in such actions that
a value that no one else can imitate is born.

It is not about the word count.

Much less is it about the number of articles.

Writing that you yourself find 'fun'
makes your articles shine.

And, strangely enough, you will find yourself
continuing to post on note.

Let's walk together
toward a relaxed and wonderful note life ♬

Well then, until next time.
Goodbye.

Hiiro-san,
thank you for posting such a
wonderful article!
