and that person actually joined.
Thank you.
That’s exactly what today was all about.
What a Rich, Full-to-the-Brim Experience!
Truly, it was my first time hearing Fujimoto’s story
about the evacuation shelters during the Tohoku earthquake.
The Party Was a Huge Success too!
Tomorrow the photos will start rolling in, right?
Full-On Janken Battle！！！
To all the 500 people who joined us〜〜〜
It was so much fun〜〜〜
I’m Truly So Happy!

Now, here’s a step-by-step theoretical summary of Fujimoto-kun’s lecture.

Overview
Theme: Using journaling (the habit of writing) as a tool to align desires (left hand) with current actions (right hand), guiding you toward purpose and goal achievement.
Foundation: The quality of information input, values, and beliefs—these shape the chain of thoughts → emotions → actions.
Implementation: In three key areas (health / relationships / work & money), set goals → strategies → priorities → habits → reflection.
Step-by-Step Framework (12 Stages)
1. Awareness of the Present (Visualizing Left Hand × Right Hand)
Left hand = what you truly desire.
Right hand = your current actions & habits.
First, put the gap into words.
2. Manage Information Input
Focus on quality over quantity of daily information.
Distance yourself from low-quality info and harmful relationships to protect your judgment.
3. Understand the Brain & Habit Principles
The brain prefers the familiar to the new.
Start small and continue.
Journaling becomes easier as it turns into habit.
4. Begin Journaling (Separate Events, Thoughts, Emotions)
Write down: the day’s events → your thoughts → the emotions that arose.
This trains you to observe emotions objectively.
5. Handling Emotions
Label feelings like “fear” or “anxiety.”
Ask: Why? → Is it useful toward my purpose? → Reduce it to the smallest next action.
6. Inventory of Values & Beliefs (Foundation Work)
Identify the values you want to prioritize, and the beliefs that limit or drive you.
Test limiting beliefs and replace them.
7. Clarify Purpose (For Whom & Why)
Specify: Why am I working hard, and for whom?
Put into words the contribution to people around you, clients, or colleagues.
8. Put Vision into Words
Define your ideal way of being (character, conduct).
Decide being → doing in that order.
9. Set Goals in Three Areas
Health, Relationships, Work & Money.
Make them measurable (timeframe, numbers, criteria).
10. Design Strategies & Resources
List the knowledge, skills, and actions needed.
Fill resource gaps through learning plans and asking for support.
11. Prioritize & Allocate Time (80/20 Rule)
Put 80% of your time into the top 20% that has the biggest future impact.
Example order: Yourself (health, learning, sleep) → Family → Top 20% of your team → Clients.
12. Act → Reflect → Adjust
Record daily, correct gaps weekly.
Never give up—stack small adjustments.
The "6 Building Blocks" of Journaling
1. 出来事（Fact）
2. 思考（Thought）
3. 感情（Emotion）
4. 価値観（Value）
5. 信念（Belief）
6. 目的・願望／ビジョン（Purpose/Why & Vision）
👉 Check the chain top-down (cause) and re-design bottom-up (align thoughts & actions with values and purpose).
Daily Practice Template (5–10 minutes)
Today’s event: ——
Thoughts at that time: ——
Emotion (intensity 1–10): —— / Reason: ——
Alignment with values: Match / Gap (where?)
Usefulness toward purpose: High / Medium / Low (why?)
Tomorrow’s smallest step (5 min action): ——
The Shortest Route: Goal → Plan (for Each Area)
Goal: What / by when / how much.
Strategy: The big-picture path to success.
Resources: Knowledge, skills, allies.
Actions: 3 weekly ToDos.
Metrics: Weekly check (achieved / not achieved + lesson).
Key Metaphors & Takeaways
Left Hand (Desire) × Right Hand (Action) = Alignment Produces Results
Input is the foundation: Input → Thoughts → Emotions → Actions → Results.
Emotions are not enemies, but indicators: How you handle them changes your next step.
Small, fast cycles: Record → Reflect → Update one step, daily.

This is the period to raise the banner of your ideals and desires—
asking yourself, “What do I want? How do I want to be?”
What you need will gather around that clarity.
👉 Be conscious of what you truly want.
Write it down, speak it out loud, and share it with others—highly recommended!

I realized that my own fear of possibility
was, in a way, letting down the people
who are striving together with me.
It really hit me deeply.

Below is a step-by-step theoretical summary of our live dialogue.
1. Context & Purpose
August 28: Live event celebrating the release of the new book “Keep Up English Conversation for Just 3 Weeks.”
Purpose: To lower the barriers to English learning, and within “just 3 weeks” give learners both a sense of progress and a foundation for continuity.
2. Core Thesis (Shift in Mindset)
The goal is not “perfect English” but “communication that connects.”
English is a tool. Aim to be a “Good Communicator,” not a “Good English Speaker.”
Native-level fluency is unnecessary—your Japanese identity itself has value.
3. Lowering the Barrier
A set deadline of “just 3 weeks” reduces psychological hurdles.
Success standard: being able to sustain 3–5 minutes of small talk is enough at first.
4. The 3 Weeks Method (Habit-Building Framework)
Week 1: Start ultra-small. Learn & use just one phrase a day (e.g., I’m excited.).
Week 2: Add essential “go-to phrases” and expand short exchanges.
Week 3: Increase real-life usage (one attempt per day—ordering food, giving directions, etc.).
5. Using “Go-To” Phrases
Ino’s supervised list of “100 essential phrases,” repeated daily (just one a day is fine).
Examples:
Greetings / Self-introduction (I’m …)
Fillers (kind of)
Requests for rephrasing (How do I say …?)
6. Repair Strategies (When You Get Stuck)
Ask to slow down: Could you speak more slowly?
Confirm: Do you understand what I mean? / Did I get you right?
Rephrase / give examples: How can I say this? / Let me show you (gesture/picture).
👉 Take initiative in communication, and don’t fear rephrasing.
7. Mindset (Redefining Mistakes)
Mistakes are welcome. The ones who keep talking grow the most (study abroad stories).
Noisy settings (like a disco) train the skill of communicating simply.
8. Designing Environment & Exposure
Use the book’s audio to train your ears (realness > rote memorization).
Movies with subtitles are fine—the key is catching familiar expressions.
Ensure frequency of use through mixed-language environments (travel, study abroad, exchanges).
9. Identity & Value
Being someone who can talk about Japan is a strength—English is the bridge.
Even if halting, sincere and human interactions make people love you (like certain Japanese baseball players abroad).
10. Coaching × Cognitive Science Design
Small wins → Designed to avoid lowering self-efficacy.
Encouragement on each page, weekly reflections, and affirmations to support continuity.
11. Approach to Preparing for English Talks
Rehearse, but in the actual event focus on facing the people.
Content should flex depending on the situation.
Both successes and failures are experience.
In the end, energy (explosion) is the key.
12. Conclusion (Core Call to Action)
“Just 3 weeks” — One phrase a day × one conversation attempt is enough.
Enjoy communication → Want to speak more → Continuation comes naturally.
English is a tool to extend encounters into human connections.
👉 Start small—begin tonight.
Lots of learning about business!
