[Celebrating 3rd Anniversary] The 1200th article, with gratitude. 3rd Anniversary Giveaway with SwitchBot 🎁

Today, April 7, 2026.
It has been exactly three years since I, YeKu, started on note.

Saying 'three years' out loud feels strange.

Back when I started with the mindset of 'just give it a try!'
I never imagined I could keep this up for so long, especially while dealing with an illness that causes such significant physical and mental ups and downs.

Through days when I felt unwell and days when I felt like giving up, I kept writing for over 1,000 days.

Honestly, I don't know how many times I almost threw in the towel.
There were many mornings when I woke up without having written a thing.
'Even though I'm struggling so much'
'Even if I work hard to write, no one is going to read it seriously anyway'

While fighting those voices, I kept writing anyway.

Before I knew it, this article became my 1,200th post!

Of course, I couldn't have kept this up through my own efforts alone.

The reason I've been able to build this up to this point is because you were there to read it.

Likes, comments, shares, magazine subscriptions, tips, article purchases, high ratings, membership sign-ups... all of those sentiments supported me.

Of course, there are some who have left note over these three years, but I hope that even from afar, my feelings reach you.

To everyone, thank you so much.

At this 3rd-anniversary milestone, I wanted to express my gratitude in a tangible way, so I came up with this project.

With the cooperation of SwitchBot, who has long supported my content, I am bringing a luxurious giveaway project to all of you readers!

SwitchBot and I

My connection with SwitchBot, famous for their smart home products and who are cooperating with this project, began withthe review of their CO2 sensor that I published at the beginning of this year.

However, my relationship with SwitchBot products themselves goes back even further, as it has beenover five years since I started using them.

On difficult mornings, even when I couldn't turn on the lights and was lying down, the lights would turn on automatically. If it was cold, the air conditioner would turn on by itself.

Even on days when I 'couldn't get up,' I could at least keep my environment in order.

For over five years, SwitchBot products have been providing those small 'mechanisms that make life easier' for me.

I wanted to share these wonderful products that have supported my life and my note writing with all of you who have supported me until now...

That was the thought behind asking SwitchBot.

Furthermore, for this project, I am not receiving any compensation from anywhere.

I wanted to give back, even just a little, to the readers who have supported me for these three years. I planned this with a heart full of gratitude!

Lastly...
I have one request for everyone.

This is a special project, but since it's my first time trying something like this, I can't stop feeling nervous about what I'll do if not many people apply.
