※Original blog was written in Japanese. I translated into English with Google translate.
I have a certain format for creating a document or compiling information in Excel. In most cases, the format is a format that I have designed while trying and erroring by myself. These formats are not so sophisticated, but not bad.
Even if I read a book about know-how of thinking or writing that some people recognize as a masterpiece, it is rarely reflected just as a reference.
This is not to say that my format is excellent. I don't really care about using it because any format doesn't reflect the process of my thoughts unless I build it up from scratch. Needless to say, general formats do not meet individual needs because they are abstracted to some extent so that anyone can handle them.
If you create various formats yourself, there is a possibility that omissions and it will be out of order. But when I organize my information in my own format, I find that there is a kind of attachment and I feel that there is relatively little stress, especially when I start working. Also, the format I create myself is more likely to improve.
Also, when I share the analysis results with others,they can insight the process of my thoughts, and when I receive a comment, I can have more self-consciousness. In fact, the eyes of others are positive and solicit for comment, as they are useful to improve my format.
When I think about it, the business books like the one above are very interesting to read, but for me, they are not very useful at my daily work, and there is no point in reading them in the future. Recently noticed. (Maybe it was late to notice.)
Naturally, output is important, so you can use any tool, but design seems to be indispensable to keep brushing up your thoughts without stress.
