200th Day of Daily Note Updates! Introducing Tips for Consistency and Habit Formation!

Thank you for always reading my notes!

I decided that I would update my note every day in 2025, and I have finally reached the 200th day! 👏

That means there are only 165 days left in the year...

I would have definitely given up if I posted every day and didn't get a single like or comment, so I was able to keep this up for 200 days thanks to all of you.

Thank you.

Since this is a bit of a milestone, I would like to share some tips for consistency and habit formation.

When I tell people that I update my note every day, they are surprised and say, "How do you have so much content to write about!"

Many people want to make a habit of sharing content, but are afraid of running out of ideas.

Before I started, I myself was thinking, "What should I do if I run out of ideas..."

However, there is no need to worry.

Because from the moment you decide to "update every day," your brain starts gathering ideas to share for the day.

Things you learned from reading a book, frustrations you felt at work, or things you suddenly noticed while watching people's behavior—realizations like "Oh, I'll write about this in today's note" start to emerge.

The human brain has a filter function called RAS that prioritizes information necessary for your current self.

When you decide to learn English conversation, you start seeing ads for English conversation everywhere, or you start seeing the car you wanted all over town; that is the function of the RAS.

You have a magnificent brain, so there is no need to worry about running out of ideas.

Next, here are some tips for consistency and habit formation.

They can be broadly divided into three points.

1. Clarify your purpose

First, let's think carefully about why you are doing that action.

What do you want to do, and what kind of person do you want to become, beyond your consistency?

To be perfectly honest, the reason I update my note daily is with the goal of increasing my visibility.

Since I started my coaching business last year, I felt I needed to create a place to expose myself more and more, so I have been updating daily.

So, please subscribe to my newsletter (no pressure).

Well, joking aside, things without a purpose don't last long.

The same goes for waking up early, doesn't it?

If you don't have a purpose for waking up and doing something, you'll just end up lying in bed and wasting time even after you've opened your eyes.

Why are you doing it?

Please take the time to think carefully about your purpose.

② Make a declaration

When I started updating my note daily, I declared on X, 'I will update every day!'

By doing this, you create a sense of being watched.

I even received a reply from Ootsu-san, a great senior on note.

Whether Ootsu-san is actually watching all the time is another matter (laughs).

They might be watching, or they might not be.

It is truly a panopticon system.

If you don't know what a panopticon system is, please Google it.

To summarize it simply, the state of 'not knowing whether you are being watched or not' exerts more pressure than the state of 'knowing you are being watched.'

In this way, I created a situation where I had to do it.

3. Make it visible

This is quite important, and I make sure that the words "Update Note" are always in my line of sight.

Specifically, I display a reminder app widget on my smartphone so that it is impossible to miss whenever I open my phone.

By doing this, I can prevent "accidentally forgetting."

Yes, that is how I shared my tips for consistency and habit formation.

I hope you find this helpful.

I have also been updating my Stand.fm daily for 47 days now.

I, who am good at such habit formation, run an email newsletter.

For now, the newsletter is set up to be delivered for 192 days after registration (about once every three days).

If you would like to receive such harassment, please feel free to register.

Bonus: One item discarded per day, day 179

This is detergent I received for free from the manager (?) when I went to the laundromat.

I used it only once, but since I have no other opportunity to use it, I am getting rid of it.

Thanks for everything until now, toss 🗑️
