Hello. This is Inishie Destiny from Seito Medical School. The theme this time is "How do you create the perfect space for reading and writing?"
I want to create a space where I can reach out and get anything I need. I think it's great for people who can read or write in their rooms and stay focused for a long time. If you can focus on one thing in a single task, there's no problem as long as the things you prepared at the beginning are around you.
However, some people are not good at single-tasking and are good at multitasking. That's exactly what I'm like, my mind wanders from one place to another. In that case, I'll pick up another book, stop reading and start blogging, write notes, or do this and that.
However, apart from people who are truly single-tasking and don't stop until they finish something once they've decided to do it, I think that multitasking and always working on the thing that interests you the most is much more productive.
Since I'm working on the thing I'm most interested in at the time, my concentration is probably at its maximum. I don't try my hand at other things for 10 or 20 minutes just because I'm trying my hand at a lot of things. I try to do something else after an hour or two, but I can say that I'm concentrating at my maximum for those hours.
There is time between tasks, that is, there is rest time, but I don't take breaks. Maybe that's why I get worn out after 3 or 4 hours. If I'm doing research on my hobby, after about 9 hours of total concentration, I don't have any motivation left in my body.
I can't say for sure which is better, single-tasking or multitasking, but I think I might be able to multitask for a little longer overall if I take a break between tasks. This is a challenge for me, so I'll think about it carefully.
Now, to the main topic, the best space for reading or writing is a quiet space without noise, where you can get what you need right away. To do that, your room needs to be tidy. It's a waste of time to search for what you need every time.
My room tends to get quite messy, but I have some tips to keep it tidy. First, the kotatsu table is in the center of the room. I work on a storage case that is half the height and half the width of the kotatsu table, that is, about a quarter of the size of the kotatsu table.
In my case, I put everything on the kotatsu table, so clutter spreads from there to the whole room. Therefore, by putting things on a small storage case instead of the kotatsu table, the amount of things I can put on it is limited, and it doesn't get cluttered.
Furthermore, when my room is messy, it's mostly because of books I'm reading. So by putting the books in a storage case, I can keep the books from getting scattered, and ultimately keep my room tidy.
In other words, what I need in my room is a storage case with a ceiling large enough to study in, and a storage case to put books in. In the end, people who have tidy rooms tend to use a lot of storage cases, whether they do it consciously or not.
I would like to use storage cases wisely to create a productive workspace that is not cluttered. I encourage you to give it a try too. Most of the time, clutter is caused by one thing. For me, it's books, and for women, it might be clothes. By storing that, you can keep your room clean.
That's all for now. Well then.
