[Notice and Announcement] GW hiatus and my first "paid article"
Good morning. This is "Quiet Design Theory".
Thank you so much for always reading my articles.
I truly appreciate it.
Today, I would like to share a schedule regarding future posts and
an announcement about "a certain article" that I will publish tomorrow.
I am here to provide you with this notice and announcement.
1. Notice regarding Golden Week holidays
First, here is the first notice.
Starting next week, Monday, May 4th, for about a week,
I am planning to take a break from posting
for the Golden Week holidays.
For the past two months or so,
I have been posting every single day without fail.
Thankfully, I feel that one of the reasons why so many people have come to read my work
is because of this "daily posting" routine.
However, the core of my design for living
lies in valuing "time with my spouse" above all else.
In order to continue delivering better articles to everyone in the future,
and to properly design the "margin" in my own life,
I have decided to dedicate this holiday period to spending time with my spouse.
After the holidays, I plan to return to my usual
rhythm of daily posting.
I will be taking a short break,
but I hope you will look forward to my return
when I am refreshed.
2. [Announcement] I will be posting my first paid article
The second point is an announcement regarding the article I will post tomorrow.
As a final wrap-up before entering the Golden Week break,
I will be publishing my first-ever "paid article".
Until now, I have focused on sharing "design philosophies" in various fields,
such as investment, household finances, lifestyle, and ways of thinking.
In my free articles, I value the stance of sharing "what I am actually doing" based on those philosophies.
However, tomorrow's article will be a bit different in nature.
It is a piece where I have written about a certain experience in my life
from an extremely personal perspective.
I speak candidly about a certain event
that served as a major catalyst for me starting this note.
There are several reasons why I have decided to make this a paid article.
• It is not universal content that could happen to anyone
• It contains highly sensitive material,
and is not of a nature to be widely published
• It brings my own pain and struggles to the forefront,
and I do not wish for it to be spread indiscriminately
Rather than something that 'everyone can relate to,' I want to deliver this only to those who need this 'experience' from deep within me, or to those who are interested.
With that sentiment in mind, I have decided to set up a gate.
It is quite long, and I wrote it with a great deal of passion.
Since the content is a bit heavy, I plan to post it around 7:00 PM, rather than the usual 7:00 AM.
If you are even slightly interested, I would be happy if you could take your time to read it when you have a moment.
Finally
Today's post ended up being quite administrative, with a notice about the holiday and the announcement of the paid article,
but thank you for reading until the end.
Whether you are spending the holidays off or working,
I hope that you all have a pleasant time.
I look forward to seeing you again in tomorrow's article.
