Mochi Radi Vol. 91 | Rather than rushing, don't rush your decisions

🚖 The door is opening: Nighttime ride guidance

Hello everyone, this is Mochi-san.

This is "Mochi Radi," a radio show you can read, delivered from inside a taxi at night.
Please join me for a little while again today, nice and slow.

🎙️ Driver's Eye

What is the most important thing while driving?

The accelerator.
The brake.
Watching your surroundings.

None of these can be missing, but I believe it is"judgment".

Should you go or stop at a yellow light?
Should you pass on a narrow road or wait a moment?
Should you turn right or let one more car go by?

While driving, there are many times when you have to make a decision in just a few seconds.

That is precisely why you shouldn't rush your decisions.

If the light is yellow, stop.
If it's safer to wait a moment, then wait.
If it's a situation where you can yield, then yield.
If you are hesitant, stop for a moment.

Rushing and rushing your decisions may seem similar, but they are a little different.

This applies to more than just driving.

When you are tired.
When you are feeling down.
When you are anxious about having to provide an answer quickly.

At times like those, I try not to make any major decisions.

Try sleeping on it for a night.
Try talking to someone about it.
Try putting what is in your head into words first.

Just by doing that, you might see an answer different from yesterday's.

Moving quickly is not always the right answer.

The time spent waiting without moving is also a perfectly valid decision for moving forward safely.

Whether driving or in daily life.

Rather than rushing, don't rush your decisions.

I think I'll keep those words in the car tonight.

🛠️ Mochi-san's Maintenance Log

In our home, we have gym mats laid out over most of the living space.

This is what we use.

Since they are 2cm thick, there is a sense of security knowing they absorb impact. It's also helpful that they prevent scratches on the floor.

They are originally exercise mats, but in our home, they work in various places, such as serving as cushions under the kotatsu.

Instead of sticking only to the intended use, I have them change roles to suit our lifestyle.

These kinds of small adjustments might also be part of the work of organizing one's daily life.

🐹 Hamu Time

Tonight's passenger is the second-generation Omochi-san.

Munching on pumpkin during free-roam time.

After eating for a while, he tossed the pumpkin aside and charged toward the camera. Then he just walked away.

The video is here.

Hamu letters are here.

🎵 Tonight's Car Audio

Tonight's track is FIELD OF VIEW's "Totsuzen (QHD Remastered Video)".

It's one of my favorite songs that I want to listen to when summer arrives.

Despite the somewhat intense title "Suddenly," the sound that flows out is refreshing.

Including that gap, it suits the inside of a car in summer perfectly.

Even on nights when I have a lot on my mind, when this song plays, I feel like the air outside the window gets a little lighter.

📮 Mochi-san's In-Car Post

Late-night hambuuuuuuuurg time with my wife, who is exhausted from work.

Setting aside difficult decisions for now, we'll eat well tonight.

The answers we come up with during times like these are usually just "delicious" enough.

🌱 Today's Relaxed Lesson

🏁 Arrived at Destination

The more anxious I am, the more I want to decide on something quickly.

On nights like that, try resting your thoughts, just like turning off the engine.

It's okay to leave the answer to tomorrow's self.

Well then, that's all for tonight.

Let's meet again tomorrow.
