The story of how I reached what I wanted to do after letting go of note

June 7th.
On this day, I decided not to open note for one day.

The reason was that I suddenly became curious.
"What would I do if I spent the day without looking at note?"

No checking likes, notifications, or anyone else's posts.
I would only post my own content and then close note.

At first, I felt restless.
But gradually, that silence started to feel comfortable.

I reached for things I usually put off

Once I decided not to open note, my eyes naturally turned to other things.

For example,
・Housework that had piled up
・Revisions for a manuscript I was in the middle of
・Organizing a drawer I had been meaning to get to

These were all things I had wanted to do for a long time.
However, they were all things I had always put off.

That day, I was finally able to reach for them.

Letting go created space

When I stopped looking at note, a little bit of "space" was created.
Into that gap, other things I wanted to do were able to enter.

Usually, I receive a lot of stimulation through note.
But sometimes, that stimulation might have been stopping me from taking action.

It's not that note is bad.
However, by deciding to "stop looking," there were things I could see.

Try letting go of what you usually do, just a little bit

The day I let go of note was quiet and very fulfilling.
Perhaps it's good to let go of your usual habits once in a while.

It is in that "gap" that the things you wanted to do can enter.
It was a day with such a discovery.

Thank you for reading this far.

May your day be a wonderful one.
