Single Mother of 3 Aiming for a Monthly Income of 500,000 Yen | Starting My Real-Life AI Side Hustle Diary!
~ Even in a 'Mission Impossible' Daily Life, I Won't Give Up ~
Nice to meet you. My name is Yururira.
Today is my debut on note🎉
I've been curious about note for a while, but since I didn't have a decisive reason to start, I hadn't taken the plunge until now.
I plan to write a little bit every day from now on, so I look forward to your support.
1. Self-Introduction
Once again, I'm Yururira.
I am a single mother raising three children while working at a real estate company.
There are many families raising three children in the world, but I think it's quite rare to have three siblings as unique as mine.
My eldest daughter, who was born with a physical disability and uses a wheelchair, is currently fully immersed in her 'oshi-katsu' (supporting her favorite idol).
When it comes to her favorite's live concerts, she'll go anywhere in neighboring prefectures in her electric wheelchair💨
My second daughter, who has ADHD, is a high school senior preparing for entrance exams this year.
Once her talking switch is turned ON, she won't stop for hours until she runs out of battery (it seems she wasn't equipped with an OFF button).
My youngest son (3rd grade), who is 10 years younger than my machine-gun-talking second daughter, is, well, let's just say he is incredibly free-spirited.
And he easily shatters the image of 'autism' that most people probably have, as he is an autistic spectrum child with exceptionally high social skills.
He is a bright and energetic child who refuses to go to school, and also a passionate baseball boy.
It's truly a 'family of diversity,' not just an 'era of diversity.'
While I feel truly blessed that each of the three has their own unique sparkle and that there is always laughter in our home, there are also many times when each child needs support, so Mom is running at full capacity every day😓
Given that situation, I can't even work full-time, and honestly, I don't have enough income to call it sufficient.
So, of course, I've thought many times in the past that I wanted to increase my income with a side hustle.
But honestly, that's just a 'mission impossible.'
I had given up, thinking there's no way I can do a side hustle when I'm always running at full capacity and have no time!
That said, my second daughter is a high school senior this year.
It costs a lot of money, too💦
After researching various things, thinking, 'I can't just say it's impossible anymore! I have to increase my income even a little bit!'couldn't I do a side hustle using AI?I came to that conclusion.
It was April 25th of this year——
2. Why I started note
The reason I started note is,
I want to visualize my 'accumulation'
I want to organize and output the insights and lessons I learn from my side hustle
but there is also the reason that,
I would be happy if I could be an encouragement to others who are working just as hard✨
It was because this feeling started to sprout within me.
Honestly, when I first started my side hustle, I had absolutely no idea 'what to do' or 'how to proceed'.
I was just feeling my way through it, sometimes falling, sometimes feeling like giving up, and other times going overboard, only to end up falling asleep the next day, but little by little, I have been moving forward like I'm crawling on my belly.
I hope that this record of my messy yet determined progressmight serve as a hint for someone else.
3. Themes I plan to write about in the future
In this note, in addition to my daily real-life records, I plan to loosely write about themes such as
side hustles, parenting, time management, and AI utilization.
For example, I am planning content like this👇
Side hustle challenges on CrowdWorks
How to use AI tools like ChatGPT & prompt introductions
Content creation using AI (LINE stickers, prompt sales, etc.)
Balancing parenting and task management tips
Ways to maintain motivation
The reality of side hustle income (including failures)
I will leave behind a real record (= the traces of crawling on the ground) that isn't just 'pretty talk' but shows that I'm 'moving forward even if it's messy'.I will leave this behind.
4. Who I want to read this
Those who have absolutely no time due to parenting, caregiving, or work
Those who are interested in side hustles but are anxious about whether they can do it
Those who want to challenge themselves to earn side income using AI tools
Those who want to carve out their own path in life even if they have limitations due to family or life stages
I would be happy if, to you, this makes you think, 'I get it, me too!' or 'Wait! Maybe I can do it too?!'☺️
5. Posting Pace
My daily life is pretty much an 'impossible game'...😅, so first of all,
I'll aim for at least one update per week! I'll try to stick to that.
While my path is often blocked by the kids' schedules, unexpected accidents (*), and the battle against falling asleep, for now, I just want to value 'keeping at it' above all else.
(*) This includes incidents like my super-effective motivation-boosting item, the Choco Monaka Jumbo that I bought to accompany my side hustle after the kids are asleep, suddenly vanishing (Culprit: my eldest son).
6. Finally
Just because I started a note doesn't mean there will be a dramatic change overnight.
However, I believe that by taking small steps, the day will come when I can say 'thank you' to my past self.
This note is a record for myself, but
I hope it can become a place that gently nudges those who are 'feeling a bit stuck right now'.
I hope you will continue to drop by and relax with me.
Thank you for your support!
