14 Lines to Change Today

1. Inexperience isn’t a weakness.
  　With no script, you’re free to rewrite it.
2. “When I’m ready” never comes.
  　Only those who open the door get to learn inside.
3. PowerPoint doesn’t move people.
  　Stories do—and the fire in your eyes.
4. Overwhelm your very first customer with joy.
  　They’ll be the one to bring the next ten.
5. Experience is the product.
  　“Can’t wait to meet again” is the ultimate spec.
6. Victory is created by tomorrow’s self.
  　One new habit a month = 12 foundations a year.
7. Time doesn’t increase.
  　Count in “How many more times?” and today becomes richer.
8. Proximity shapes resemblance.
  　From screen → meeting → doing together → living together.
  　Distance = influence.
9. Remember Tomorrow.
  　“If I quit today, won’t tomorrow’s me be disappointed?”
10. Regrets come in only three forms:
  　Can’t change / Can fix right now / Can still prevent.
  　Schedule the preventable ones today.
11. Life OS = three buckets.
  　What you want to do (schedule it first) /
  　Everyday sunshine (insert the night before) /
  　Sea of chores (make visible, batch-process).
12. Health is the foundation of everything else.
  　A sore throat alone can wash out the colors of the world.
  　Don’t betray food, sleep, or movement.
13. Win with the way that gets you laughed at.
  　If it’s optimal but looks “weird,” no one else will do it.
  　That’s exactly why you should.
14. When the end is in sight, the beginning appears.
  　Plan it out—your “serious mode” switch flips on.

3 Actions right now (5 mins is enough)

Three Actions Right Now (5 minutes is enough!)
- 1 note: Write a “Remember Tomorrow” memo to your future self and leave it on your desk.
- 1 slot: Tentatively book a new experience within the next 8 weeks in your calendar (just half a day is fine).
- 1 habit: Decide on just one “sunshine moment” for this month (e.g., 15 minutes before bed to design tomorrow’s blocks).
↓↓↓
What exactly is a “Remember Tomorrow” memo for your future self?! The steps!
A “Remember Tomorrow (Today as Seen from Tomorrow)” memo is a super-mini script written from the perspective of your future self.
It helps you choose the action side whenever hesitation strikes. You can create one in just 5 minutes.
Steps（5 mins）
① Decide on just one purpose（30 secs）
Pick the theme you’re most likely to waver on today:
Starting work / Health (exercise, food) / Learning / Relationships / Money
② Pinpoint the hesitation in one sentence（30 secs）
Examples:
- “On rainy mornings, I want to use it as an excuse to skip my run.”
- “The first line of the proposal feels too heavy.”
③ Write it out in 3-line template (3 min)
Paper or phone memo both work. You can copy-paste this as is:
【Remember Tomorrow｜Theme: ○○】
1. Feelings of Future Me (tomorrow):
  　→ Tomorrow’s me will be proud of having done (　　).
  　If I don’t, I’ll feel stuck in (　　).
2. Today’s smallest step (3-min version):
  　→ Right now, just do (　 smallest action　). If done, add (　 next small step　).
3. Cue (trigger):
  　→ When (　situation/time　), read this memo out loud.
④ Decide where to keep it (30 sec)
- Paper: directly in front of you (under monitor / on front door)
- Phone: pin memo as widget, add “🔔Remember Tomorrow” at the start of the title
- Physical trigger: Post-it on your running shoes
- Or: read it the moment you open your PC
⑤ Activation ritual (30 sec)
When hesitation arises, read the 1–2 lines out loud (putting it into words = ignition for action).
Then take the smallest step in 3 minutes → move on to the “+” step if done.
Example (Work: starting a task)
“Tomorrow’s me will applaud myself for writing the first line. If it’s zero, my self-evaluation drops.
Right now, just write 1 headline + 3 bullet points. If done, add one paragraph.”
Example (Exercise)
“Tomorrow’s me will be proud I put my shoes on even in the rain. If I don’t, I’ll feel stuck in self-loathing.
Right now, put on shoes at the door → walk just 3 minutes around the block. If done, add 2 more minutes. Read this memo right after brushing my teeth.”

What does it mean to run the “3 Buckets” in a ready-to-use format?!
(Use → Definition → Setup Steps → Template → Example → Metrics)
1) Electives= Things you want to do (schedule these first)
Definition
Place the “things you want to do this year” on the calendar as fixed entries first. Don’t wait to fill them in around free time later.
Setup Steps (30 min)
- Brainstorm (5 min): Write 10–20 things you want this year. (Trips / writing retreat / races / exhibitions / family events, etc.)
- Select (5 min): Star your top 5–8. Criteria = ①Excitement ②Future value ③Family/team agreement.
- Place (15 min): Lock in 1–2 each quarter. Secure 2 extra time blocks before/after for prep & travel.
- Backup dates (5 min): Register a 2nd date for each event at the same time (for rain/health contingencies).
Calendar Naming Rules (copy/paste OK)
- [ELECTIVE] Writing Retreat (Draft Submission)
- [ELECTIVE] Family Trip – Okinawa | 10 Photos + 1 Letter (include deliverables)
Color Coding
Electives = bold/dark colors (stand out)
Prep = lighter shade
Examples
- Apr 20–21: Writing retreat (chapter outline → draft intro)
- Jun 9: 10km race (Sundays = LSD runs starting 4 weeks prior)
- Aug 12–15: Family trip (final day = “Top 3 Memories” presentation)
Metrics (5 min per month)
- Execution rate = Completed ÷ Planned (%)
- Satisfaction score (1–5) + one-line note (improvement for next time)
- Attach photos/deliverables as links in the calendar entry

2) Sunshines=Daily Little Joys (insert the night before)

Definition
Insert small blocks that recharge your body and mind into tomorrow’s schedule the night before (15 min routine). Keep it light, don’t overpack.
Night-Before Routine (15-min template)
① Decide only 3 blocks (60–90 min total)
Example: AM “15-min walk,” PM “1 hr with kids,” Night “15-min reading”
② Decide triggers:
Walk = after brushing teeth / Kid time = after dinner / Reading = before bed
③ Prepare mini versions too: 15 min → 3 min backup (prevents giving up)
One New Habit per Month Rule
At the start of each month, add just one new habit (12 in a year).
Example:
- This month = 1 glass of water after waking up
- Next month = “Plan 3 blocks for tomorrow” before bed
If–Then Backup (for disruptions)
- If dinner runs late → Then read “just 1 page”
- If rain cancels walk → Then 10 indoor squats
Smartphone Template (pin in Notes)
Sunshines (Tomorrow)
- □ Morning: 15-min walk (after brushing / alt = 10 knee bends)
- □ Evening: 1 hr with kids (after dinner / alt = 10-min card game)
- □ Night: 15-min reading (before bed / alt = 1 page)
Metrics (3 min weekly)
- Execution rate (checked boxes ÷ planned)
- Mood score (1–5) → If low, review timing, not quantity

3) Ocean=Sea of Chores (make it visible→一batch process）

Definition
List all draining chores and handle them in batches on a fixed “harbor day.”
Inventory → Design (20 min)
- Dump: List all chores on paper/note (home, car, health, taxes, errands, expenses, seasonal, etc.)
- Tag by attributes:
  - Frequency = one-off / weekly / monthly / quarterly / yearly
  - Duration = 5/15/30/60 min
  - Delegation = self / family / staff / outsource
- Fix harbor day: e.g., every Friday 15:00–17:00 = Harbor Time
Sprint Design
On harbor day, group similar tasks.
Example: 15-min × 4 = all “payment tasks”
Ocean Master Log (minimum columns)
Task | Frequency | Deadline | Duration | Delegate | Next Date | Status
(Google Sheet / Notion / paper all fine)
Harbor Day Flow (90–120 min)
① Warm-up (5 min): Clear 3 x 5-min tasks fast (momentum).
② Category blocks: e.g., emails → payments → bookings.
③ Carry over unfinished tasks to next harbor day.
④ Wrap-up (3 min): Update log + reorder top 3 priorities for next week.
Quarterly Maintenance (30 min)
- Clean bloated log (delete, delegate, automate)
- Book appointments in clusters (dentist, health check, car inspection)
Metrics of tasks processed per harbor day
- Remaining backlog trend (target = downward)
- Avg time per task (getting shorter?)

Operating Rhythm (the cycle)

- Operating Rhythm (the cycle)
  - Nightly 15 min: Insert 3 Sunshines (max 3, with backups).
  - Weekly 60 min (e.g., Sunday):
    - Place Elective prep blocks into next week
    - Confirm Ocean “harbor day”
    - Review Sunshine execution & mood scores, adjust timing
  - Monthly 90 min:
    - Add 1 new habit (old ones → automate)
    - Review Elective satisfaction scores + archive photos/deliverables
  - Quarterly 2h Review:
    - Swap Electives (priority/seasonal)
    - Full Ocean log maintenance

1 week sample (image)

- Mon: AM deep work / Sunshines = morning walk + night reading / Eve: 30-min Elective prep
- Tue: PM meetings / Sunshines = 15-min workout + 1 hr with kids
- Wed: Travel & recording / Sunshines = 10-min voice memo while commuting
- Thu: Creation day / Sunshines = 10-min nap + 5-min night stretch
- Fri: Harbor Day 15:00–17:00 (payments/bookings/expenses)
- Sat: Elective (location scouting) / Sunshines = family photo time
- Sun: Weekly 60-min review / Insert next week’s Sunshines

Ready-to-Use Checklist (print/copy)

Electives
- Place 1–2 each quarter in advance
- Register prep blocks + backup dates
- Include deliverables in event name
Sunshines
- Choose only 3 each night (15 min)
- Set triggers + mini-backups
- Add only 1 new habit per month
Ocean
- Create master log (freq/duration/delegate)
- Fix harbor day (weekly 90–120 min)
- Batch similar tasks → carry over unfinished

〜〜〜

↓↓↓ In Detail!!!

1. Starting Point: Inexperience Is the Ultimate Asset

Principle: Zero experience = zero constraints from industry norms → freedom to break existing “scripts.” (“I pulled it off because I didn’t know!” — Taku)
Reason: Experience matters, but takes time to acquire, delaying your start.
Practice: Begin with the premise of “step inside first → learn inside.” (Perfect preparation = myth.)

2. First Law of Action: Start (Bias for Beginning)

Principle: There’s no such thing as the perfect time, enough experience, or a silver bullet. (“Wing it and land it!” — Taku)
Reason: The cost of waiting > the risk of moving, in fast-changing environments.
Practice: Build a minimum experiment (MVP / trial customers) first, then enter the learning loop.

3. Sell the Person, Not the Explanation

Principle: Investment decisions rest not on slides but on people and their stories.
Reason: The only metric for a partner company is “What’s in it for us?”
Practice: Present untapped segments/LTV and draw out a bet on yourself.

4. Early Customer Strategy: Single Point Breakthrough & “Shock and Awe”

Principle: Your very first customer = the seed of the referral network.
Reason: Referrals drastically reduce CAC and externalize trust.
Practice: Overdeliver (trip planning, family considerations, post-care) to make yourself irreplaceable.

5. Experience Gap=the Product

Principle: In commodity markets, customer experience itself is the product function.
Reason: Experiences get talked about and form the base of referrals/virality.
Practice: Constantly self-audit: “Would I recommend myself?” (in roles as father/partner/coach, etc.)

6. Habit Design: Winning Patterns Are Built by Daily Routines

Principle: Big results = daily habits × the compounding effect of time.
Reason: Brands and health cannot be replicated short-term.
Practice: Add one winning habit each month (sleep, exercise, nutrition, thinking) = 12 new foundations yearly.

7. Time Reframing: Scarcity Creates Value

Principle: Visualizing what’s finite (remaining summers, “10 more visits with parents”) sharpens focus.
Reason: Routine accelerates perceived time (life feels faster).
Practice: “Kevin’s Rule” = insert a new active experience every 8 weeks (≈ 6/year × 30 years = 180 moments).

8. Proximity Theory: Closeness= Influence

Principle: The closer the distance, the greater the chance of imitation → skills stretch upward.
Reason: Plasticity rises in order: consuming info < attending together < mentor < friend < cohabiting.
Practice: Progression: online following → live events → 1-on-1 → joint projects.

9. Mental tool①：Remember Tomorrow

Principle: Evaluate today’s choices by how your future self will feel.

Reason: Prevents short-term pleasure from skewing decisions.
Practice: Use the cue: “If I quit today, how will tomorrow’s me feel?” → choose action.

10. Mental Tool ②：3 Types of Regret

Principle: ① Irreversible ② Reversible (fix now) ③ Preventable (from delay).
Reason: Each type requires a different remedy.
Practice: #2 = call/apologize immediately; #3 = schedule today.

11. Life OS: the 3-Bucket System

Electives (annual priorities): Trips, family travel, creation—pre-scheduled in the yearly calendar.
Sunshines (daily habits): Insert next day’s “sunshine moments” the night before (1h with kids, reading, hydration, etc.).
Ocean (sea of chores): Visualize, delegate, and batch-process to free decision capacity.

12. Health= The Premise of All Assets

Principle: When health collapses, all other value goes to zero.
Reason: Digestion, inflammation, energy management link directly to productivity and lifespan.
Practice: Optimize internal systems: dietary consistency, daily runs, additive awareness

13. Endorse Unorthodox Behavior (Lesson of Rick Barry)

Principle: If it’s optimal but looks “weird,” no one else will do it—norms are often flawed.
Practice: When ridicule cost < outcome, deliberately adopt the “odd” method.

14. Introduce Mortality Awareness= Perpetual Urgency

Principle: Designing with endings in mind sharpens present resolution.
Reason: The illusion of “infinite time” breeds procrastination.
Practice: Prepare end-of-life basics (passwords, family sharing, will) → flips the seriousness switch.

Immediate Implementation Checklist

Summary (Core Method)

Core Method = Inexperience × Immediate Start × Experience Gap × Daily Habits × Time Scarcity × Proximity Leverage × Regret Design.
Put this into your calendar, advance by 1 millimeter every day.
The results will “exponentiate” later.
