Let's Check Off What We've Accomplished 2025: See You Next Year!

Have a great New Year! I look forward to working with you again next year!

For those of you busy at the end of the year, I've placed a
greeting at the beginning for you.

Hello, I am Motosuke Sugawa, an information translator.

What kind of year was
2025 for you?


For me,
it was a big year.

Taking a leave of absence, resigning, starting a business, and so on.

If I were to write an autobiography before I die,
this year's events would take up many pages.

It was also this July that I revived my note after four years.

Since note kindly summarized it for me,
I'll post it here.

I posted a total of
20 articles this year.

That's not many!

But the format that is easiest to continue with
is my current weekly post.

Next year, I will continue with Thursday updates,
posting once a week!

Before I knew it, I had 1,500 followers.
Thank you so much!!

Through note, I read many people's articles and
was able to encounter
various events and the world.

The ever-updating, incredibly wonderful Christmas tree
A Christmas covered in crab soup
The reality of a bartender
Motsugaki Squad
The cuteness of Java sparrows
The G-Certification was an AI certification
Getting excited over Yoppei in the early morning
Apparently, Kirin Good Ale is delicious
Canva is fine even for free, you can even make a website
What kind of story is this department
3-line diary
There are various forms of feelings behind reaching 1000 followers
Elementary school students are also writing on note

All of these are worlds I would not have
noticed without note.

Looking back at the end of the year

Since it is the end of the year,
I looked back at my
'Experiential Learning Notebook' that I update every two weeks.

In this article,
rather than what I couldn't do,
I am focusing on what I could do.

I put circles and double circles on the parts
where I thought I did well.

This is actually advice I received from ChatGPT.

This year, it helped me a lot
as a partner for creative consultation.

I cannot keep up with the latest AI information on my own.

I am always learning
from the articles of knowledgeable people.
I am looking forward to its future evolution.

List of 'Things I Accomplished' This Year

Now, from here on out,
it's time to praise yourself.
Please only stay if you're interested.
If you're not interested, whoosh and just skip ahead to the
divider line!

Taking a leave of absence ◎

When it's too much, it's too much!
I'm glad I spoke up during a busy time when it was hard to do so!
I was able to make time to reflect on myself.

Resigning ◎

It was a bold decision, but
that judgment was not wrong.
I'm also grateful to the company for sending me off kindly.

Starting a business ◎

I just tried it first.
Thanks to that, I was able to keep my daughters in daycare.
That decision was the right one.

Starting a newsletter ◎

It's my current axis and support.
Sharing has become fun.
I never knew that
gaining subscribers and receiving replies could make me this happy.

Returning to note ◎

I'm glad I came back!
Choosing note was a great decision.
This place is incredibly kind.
I've also been blessed with friends who continue to share.

Kindle publishing ◎

I was able to leave it behind as one form.
Let's expand from here again.

Audio streaming ◎

Actually, I was doing it.
Even though it was aimed at individuals,
the desire to properly deliver it was conveyed.

Course creation ◎

A course on content creation.
A mass of trial and error.
Using this as a base,
I will nurture it
so that it can provide even more satisfaction.

That is all.

As you may have noticed, ◎
it is full of them.

It is intentional.

Never forget your beginner's spirit


I left behind the feelings of happiness
for when I feel lost in the future.

In closing

When looking back,
we tend to pursue
what we couldn't do.

Of course, that is important analysis, but
behind that,
things we accomplishedalso exist in abundance.

If you can notice that,
please praise yourself once in a while.

It doesn't have to be once a year,
even once a month is fine.

"Find what you accomplished and grow it further"

I think it's perfectly fine to
look back in that way too.

It's a cliché, but
the reason I was able to keep going this year is

because of you who read my posts,
you who clicked 'like',
you who followed me,
and you who left comments.

And thanks to you for
posting such fun and
educational articles.

Thank you so much.

Next year, I will
not push myself too hard,
and I will keep enjoying it.

I look forward to another great year with you!

Finally, I'd like to share a quote from
one of my favorite manga that makes my heart feel lighter!

Hearing it now, the depth feels different.
Maybe I'll read it again!

I look forward to another great year with you!

Have a great New Year!

I'm planning to post tomorrow, 1/1, as well.

Spending New Year's Eve on note!
Please look forward to it!

I also run an email newsletter.

This year, this was the most read article after my self-introduction.

As for my reading account, I'll be looking back at my 2025 books early next year...
