Circular : Economy and Routine
It was a rare day that I was busy for staying at home all the time. I have a lot of things I want to write today, but since I have talked about yesterday, I feel that the time series will be messed up, but I will write in the order I came up with without worrying about it.
Today I woke up in the morning to eat, then took the tableware to the sink, and on the way to the desk where the PC was placed, various things suddenly came to my mind. I sit in my chair as it is, check SNS and watch the news, and start the engine in the morning. If possible, I would like to establish something like a morning routine at an early stage and devote myself to studying something or doing such productive activities, but I do not have the essential routine yet, or what I want to do or study. There are many, but the purpose of doing it is vague. But lately, I’ve finished my master’s thesis safely and my busy schedule has calmed down a little, so I thought it would be okay for a while, and I thought that full-scale activities could be started from noon. However, it is quite suspicious to think that my recent change of feelings from morning to noon was smooth. Even if I try to start the activity after eating lunch, I can’t get up. Actually, most of the time I settle down and work on a PC, but in any case, there weren’t many days when I thought I could use the 5.6 hours from day to night efficiently by turning on the switch properly. However, I don’t do it every morning now. Well, today I thought about what I was trying to do from noon the moment I sat in the chair, that is, I would start writing a treatise to be submitted to the Architectural Institute of Japan, which must be completed by the end of February.
I thought about this kind of thing while walking from the kitchen to the chair, maybe about 7 steps, so I actually opened the PC and immediately opened the word file I was writing. I went to a convenience store to print references on the way, but I was able to concentrate on things until about 15:00. From 17:00, there was a regular meeting with the professor of the collaborative research destination, which probably took about an hour, and there was another meeting from 18:30, so I didn’t eat lunch either. I decided to eat lunch and dinner and take a bath. As a result of reporting the progress at the meeting and discussing the reward for writing this treatise, although the part-time job fee was less than originally planned, it was decided that the display would be purchased separately from the research fund, which is relative. Looking at it, the treatment was not bad and I felt good. The Macbook pro I’m using now is 13 inches, and I bought it last summer because I thought it was portable and had enough size and specs for home use, but when I was writing a treatise, I thought it was word. There were many times when I wanted to see Excel and references at the same time separately from the file, and it became more and more troublesome to switch screens one by one, so just having an external display makes the work considerably faster. ..
About the new project that I will participate in from 6:30 pm, I participated in the middle, so I gave a general explanation with Mr. K, the project manager, and zoom. The reason why I decided to participate was that my friend T came in when I set up a suitable room at the clubhouse a few days ago, and would you like to participate there? Mr. K, who talked at zoom today, had been together in the project once before, and this project had something like the previous expanded version, so it is a merit for both. I think it was something that happened. I didn’t know much about the details, just by looking at the materials sent in advance, but I was more excited than I expected with the project, which seemed to be interesting when I heard the story, and there are several reasons. One is the content of the project, and it seems that it will be an opportunity to think about recycling-oriented economy and sustainable things from the viewpoint of product design, manufacturing, and materials. Personally, it wasn’t the main project of this time, but the project from the Netherlands called Precious Plastic, which was introduced as a reference example, was insanely interesting and was the most intriguing.
Preacious Plastic (PP)

I was a little embarrassed because I didn’t know about PP while working at a Fab lab, but I thought that I had been away from talking about manufacturing for a while, and at the same time I thought that manufacturing was interesting. In particular, although the trend of open design and open source is occurring in various fields, it is caught in that there are few cases where it is actually being carried out continuously and while creating and involving diverse communities around the world. Yes, I thought it was simply amazing that PP activities are being carried out globally and continuously. Also, I haven’t checked everything yet, but as far as I can see on the website and youtube channel, the documentation of the project and how to participate are quite specific, such as the politeness of the founder’s project and receiving information. I also felt the ease. Regarding the painting problem that I felt recently while working at a Fab lab (I think I wrote it in the article a few days ago), the big problem that painting has because PP is limited to the material of plastic. I also noticed the “complexity of the painting method” and the “difficulty of accumulating know-how” due to the existence of a wide variety of materials. I don’t know much about PP yet, so I’d like to write more about it on another occasion, but for the time being, there are no facilities or projects in Fukuoka City that are engaged in PP activities (in Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture). , This project seems to cooperate with it), while there are quite a few Fab Lab-like facilities in Fukuoka City, so I feel that there is a business possibility by combining it with painting.
It seems that there will be a kick-off meeting for the project tomorrow afternoon, so I’m writing this diary now after reading through the materials and information that have already been shared after the zoom.
I wrote a lot today because everything went smoothly, but yesterday was terrible. Yesterday’s diary was about one line, “I don’t write or sleep because I’m sleepy.” It wasn’t much different from writing just one letter, “A”. In fact, yesterday I was planning to start writing a treatise from noon, but after all, I wasn’t motivated because it was raining in the evening, and I was in bed around 9 o’clock. Then, I read a book until about 11 o’clock and got an alarm to remind me of my diary at 11 o’clock, and I was already sleepy, so I typed letters on my smartphone and went to bed. Yesterday, which was almost the same as I didn’t write, passed, and I noticed that it was around 8 pm tonight. “Oh, I forgot the routine that I had to write a diary until now.” Yesterday, it was almost like I didn’t write it, but I had to write it all the time from the evening to the end. Diary. Even on the day I missed writing three days ago, when I went to bed at 9 o’clock, I was planning to wake up with an alarm at 11:30 and write, and I remembered it properly. But today I suddenly realized that I had to write a diary. Perhaps the habits gradually weakened after the day I didn’t write three days ago, and I wrote it two days ago, but yesterday’s one-line diary further weakened my habits, and I finally remembered it today. I think. Even if I continued for two weeks, I thought it was dangerous because the rhythm of habituation was broken even for only three days, and it seemed that the days of writing and not writing would be repeated.
Returning to the morning story, I thought it would be better for me to live my life faithfully according to my habits, but I found that even if I suddenly break the rhythm like today, when I proceed, I will go crazy. .. In the case of today, the main reason is that there was something I didn’t do yesterday, but is it better to decide on a morning routine, or flexibly spend time on a daily basis according to the progress of tasks from time to time? I didn’t know if I should change it. At night, I almost forgot my diary, and I felt that the habituation was just before the long effort was instantly turned into a bubble.
Routine and habituation, it’s not good to decide too much, but if you don’t decide, you won’t do it forever. Recently, there are more and more things I have to do, including today’s projects. All of them are the jobs I wanted, and I’m looking forward to them because they are rewarding, but I was worried that I wouldn’t make a serious mistake if I didn’t think about how to use my time and my management. Until last week, I was watching 2.3 movies every week and reading several books in parallel, but recently I can’t do it. Since neither movies nor books are directly related to work, it is unavoidable because it has the highest priority as an item to be scraped, but personally, the time spent in contact with movies, books, and music is directly linked to the quality of life. .. Therefore, I would like to think little by little about how to use my time so that I can work efficiently and maintain my quality of life.
Around here today. good night.
