  1. 0:00So, to help the project team bond, okay
  2. 0:02. Uh, July 21, 2021, I'll write that
  3. 0:05down. 1. Yeah. That's right. How about
  4. 0:11we try a simple little get-together
  5. 0:12after the meetings? How about just a
  6. 0:16casual chat over tea? Oh, right. Maybe
  7. 0:19creating a LINE group for casual talk
  8. 0:21would be good, too. Ah, yes. We use
  9. 0:25Zoom for our meetings, so maybe we
  10. 0:27could make this a standard rule. Yeah.
  11. 0:30I see, I see. And for communication, oh
  12. 0:33, never mind that person. Since this
  13. 0:35member is the most sociable, let's talk
  14. 0:37to them and get their advice. It might
  15. 0:40be good to ask them for their ideas. So
  16. 0:42, something like that. Once you've
  17. 0:44written four lines, yes. That's it. You
  18. 0:46can write it in under a minute, right?
  19. 0:48You can do it. Just knock them out one
  20. 0:50after another. As soon as you think of
  21. 0:54something, write it down in big letters
  22. 0:56as bullet points under the title on an
  23. 0:57A4 sheet. Just that title. Make sure to
  24. 1:01draw a line underneath the title. This
  25. 1:04is also a must. Title, underline, date
  26. 1:07written. You don't need to write the
  27. 1:09month or day, or the era name. Just
  28. 1:11write the year, the month number, and
  29. 1:13the day number, and you're done. Then,
  30. 1:18just write down whatever comes to mind
  31. 1:20in big letters for each point. You
  32. 1:25might think it's a waste to write just
  33. 1:27these four lines on an A4 sheet. Well,
  34. 1:31let's look at it logically. Where
  35. 1:33exactly do you buy A4 paper? Right here
  36. 1:35, right? Yeah. Is a notebook okay? No.
  37. 1:40Bam. Rejected. Is a notebook really
  38. 1:43okay? Bam. No, it's not. Notebooks are
  39. 1:47not okay. What did I say? Did I say an
  40. 1:50A4 notebook? I did not. I said A4 paper
  41. 1:53. So please, follow the instructions.
  42. 1:55It's A4 sheets. It's not an A4 notebook
  43. 1:58. U-um, instead of A4 paper, can I use
  44. 2:02my smartphone or PC? Like, can I just
  45. 2:07use Word on my PC for A4?*Slap!*I said
  46. 2:11paper, didn't I? Did I say A4-sized
  47. 2:14data? No, I did not. Then close your PC
  48. 2:19. Shall I close it for you? No, it's
  49. 2:22fine. Paper, where do I get paper?
  50. 2:25Isn't paper expensive? It's not
  51. 2:27expensive. Copy paper, A4 copy paper,
  52. 2:30usually comes in a pack of 500 sheets
  53. 2:33and costs about 300 yen. If you use 10
  54. 2:38sheets a day, it lasts for a month and
  55. 2:40a half. 300 yen for a month and a half
  56. 2:42means less than 10 yen a day. Yes.
  57. 2:46That's incredibly cheap. You leave the
  58. 2:50shower running and the lights on. Yet
  59. 2:53for some reason, you all say, "Isn't
  60. 2:55buying so much paper a luxury?" It is
  61. 2:57not a luxury. It is to solve your
  62. 3:01worries. Let me be clear. I am "Paper
  63. 3:05Tax." I will say it as many times as it
  64. 3:09takes. Please buy copy paper. Just
  65. 3:12click and buy 500 sheets of 300-yen
  66. 3:14copy paper on Amazon right now. Can't
  67. 3:17you do that? If you can't, shall I
  68. 3:20physically crush your worries for you?
  69. 3:24Shall I physically crush the worries
  70. 3:25inside your brain right now? Are you
  71. 3:28scared? Thank you. I can even do it
  72. 3:32with the corner of an A4 sheet. I can
  73. 3:34even do that, you know. Please. I see.
  74. 3:40"Haha, so it's just a bigger notepad
  75. 3:42for bullet points on A4 paper, isn't it
  76. 3:45?" Oh, never mind then. That's exactly
  77. 3:50what it is. It’s just a bigger memo.
  78. 3:54For those of you thinking, "It's just a
  79. 3:56big memo, you talked all that big game,
  80. 3:58" you’re quite right. But there’s
  81. 4:00more to it. After you write them down,
  82. 4:05you file them into clear folders. Wait,
  83. 4:10in clear folders? What do you mean? And
  84. 4:15you put labels on those clear folders
  85. 4:17for each category of your worries. Once
  86. 4:24a day, before you go to bed, you put
  87. 4:26those memos into the labeled clear
  88. 4:27folders. Everyone who thought "That's a
  89. 4:35hassle" is right. That's why you
  90. 4:39shouldn't make me say it over and over.
  91. 4:41It's Paper Tax! Are you Maki? You're
  92. 4:47not a tax-evader, right? Just listen to
  93. 4:51what I have to say. Who told you to go
  94. 4:54out and catch tuna? You can't do that.
  95. 4:59But you can put A4 paper into a clear
  96. 5:01file, can't you? Yes, you can. It's
  97. 5:04just ten sheets. You can do that in a
  98. 5:06day, right? Of course you can. Then do
  99. 5:08it. That's all there is to it. Just put
  100. 5:1310 sheets of A4 paper into a clear file
  101. 5:15every day. These clear files, just get
  102. 5:19the cheap ones. You know, those thin,
  103. 5:22flimsy ones. You don't even need to
  104. 5:24label many different types of folders.
  105. 5:28For example, this author categorizes
  106. 5:31them into things like the future,
  107. 5:33communication, team building, team
  108. 5:35management, information, new data, and
  109. 5:37new ideas. When you're writing down
  110. 5:46your worries or whatever comes to mind,
  111. 5:47just write it down. And when you group
  112. 5:53them together, you'll find they mostly
  113. 5:55fit into six or seven folders. Don't
  114. 5:59you think so? Think about it, what are
  115. 6:02the things you're always worrying about
  116. 6:03? Usually work, health, money, family,
  117. 6:07or friends, right? In other words,
  118. 6:09relationships, money, health, and
  119. 6:11anxiety about the future. Exactly.
  120. 6:16Doesn't it seem like these mostly fit
  121. 6:18into communication, future, team
  122. 6:20management, new information, and new
  123. 6:22ideas? They do. This is the key point,
  124. 6:27everyone. In other words, you feel like
  125. 6:31a thousand different worries are
  126. 6:32constantly shaking you up. It's like a
  127. 6:36worldview where a myriad of monsters
  128. 6:38are constantly attacking you. But
  129. 6:40that's not it. What you're worrying
  130. 6:43about is actually just six or seven
  131. 6:44very common genres. Being able to
  132. 6:48recognize this is what matters. This is
  133. 6:53a total "circular thinking" killer.
  134. 6:59You'll realize that you're writing the
  135. 7:01same thing over and over, meaning
  136. 7:03you're worrying about the same thing
  137. 7:04every single day. But you don't even
  138. 7:08need to look back at them. Just put
  139. 7:10them in the file. Worried about the
  140. 7:12same thing again? It's fine to write
  141. 7:14about the same worry again. Just keep
  142. 7:17putting them into the file. Just sort
  143. 7:19them into seven folders. Sounds easy,
  144. 7:21right? Yes. Let me go over what you
  145. 7:23need to prepare one more time. You
  146. 7:24can't reach your goal unless you think
  147. 7:26about the process. Got it? First, copy
  148. 7:28paper. About 3 yen to 500,400 yen for
  149. 7:30copy paper. If you search for A4 copy
  150. 7:32paper on Amazon, it'll come right up.
  151. 7:34Just click to order two or three sets.
  152. 7:36That’s all there is to it. And on top
  153. 7:38of that, yes. Clear folders. You can
  154. 7:40also buy those in packs of 40 or 50, at
  155. 7:43a low price, like 1,000 or 2,000 yen.
  156. 7:45Just click to order them. Yes. Is clear
  157. 7:48folders and paper enough? Actually,
  158. 7:51there’s one more thing: labels. What
  159. 7:54are labels? You know, like buying a "
  160. 7:58tepra" machine and typing away, or
  161. 7:59ribbons—you don't need any of that.
  162. 8:05Who’s going to sit there clicking
  163. 8:06away on a label maker to make those
  164. 8:08super cute ones with Hello Kitty
  165. 8:10patterns? It’s not your daughter’s
  166. 8:12sports day, is it? I’m telling you,
  167. 8:16keep it simple. Solving your problems
  168. 8:18is what matters. Don't stress over the
  169. 8:20design of your clear folders. "Can I
  170. 8:22use the ones from my favorite idol's
  171. 8:24concert merchandise?" No, you can't!
  172. 8:26Can you get enough of those? Just be
  173. 8:28quiet and get the transparent ones.
  174. 8:30I’m telling you to just order them on
  175. 8:32Amazon. Just order the most standard,
  176. 8:35cheap copy paper and clear folders I
  177. 8:37told you about. Don't try to show off
  178. 8:39your personality with clear folders.
  179. 8:41Don't try to show off your personality
  180. 8:43with tape, either. Listen. You don't
  181. 8:45have time for that kind of stuff. Got
  182. 8:46it? For labels, use the 3M ones, the
  183. 8:50repositionable kind. 3M repositionable
  184. 8:54labels. You just cut them, stick them
  185. 8:58on, cut them, and stick them on. It’s
  186. 9:02that easy, that’s all. Wait, won't
  187. 9:06those folders just pile up? What do I
  188. 9:11do with them? Take one day every three
  189. 9:16months, bring the files, and look back
  190. 9:18through everything from the past to the
  191. 9:19present. Wait, you want me to look
  192. 9:27through all the papers stuffed into
  193. 9:29those seven files after three months,
  194. 9:30when I don't even know if I can keep
  195. 9:32this up for three months? No way,
  196. 9:37impossible, no way! There is no way I
  197. 9:39can do that. This part is just
  198. 9:41impossible. Nakata-san, I'm sorry.
  199. 9:43I’ve enjoyed watching your YouTube
  200. 9:45University until now, and I really
  201. 9:46thought you were on our side. I mean,
  202. 9:48isn't that impossible? Did I tell you
  203. 9:54to go deep-sea fishing? Did I tell you
  204. 9:59to replace a part on top of the Sky
  205. 10:01Tree? I didn't, right? If I told you to
  206. 10:06go replace a part on the Sky Tree, that
  207. 10:08would be terrifying. That's impossible.
  208. 10:10Go catch a tuna single-handedly out at
  209. 10:12sea. That’s impossible. It’s
  210. 10:13impossible. You just need to glance at
  211. 10:18the notes stored in your A4 folder once
  212. 10:20every three months. You don't need to
  213. 10:23read them thoroughly. Just scanning
  214. 10:25through them is fine. And what do you
  215. 10:27gain from that? Well, you can see a
  216. 10:33record of what categories your worries
  217. 10:35fall into and how they were resolved as
  218. 10:37the days went by. In fact, many of your
  219. 10:44worries actually get resolved over time
  220. 10:46, don't they? Like when you think, "Oh,
  221. 10:49I should've done this." By looking back
  222. 10:51on those things, you start to
  223. 10:55internalize how to solve your problems.
  224. 10:58I see. That’s the point. In other
  225. 11:02words, this person is saying that
  226. 11:03everyone thinks their current worry is
  227. 11:05a first-time experience in their one
  228. 11:07and only life. You think, "This is a
  229. 11:09worry only I have." You might think
  230. 11:11it's one-of-a-kind and brand new, but
  231. 11:13it's actually common; you worry about
  232. 11:15the same things over and over again.
  233. 11:19How many times have I said I’d lose
  234. 11:21weight? How many times have I said
  235. 11:24I’d get along with that person? How
  236. 11:27many times have I said I’d start a
  237. 11:28new hobby this year? We just keep going
  238. 11:32around in circles. Once you fully
  239. 11:40realize that humans live surrounded by
  240. 11:42these common patterns, you can
  241. 11:43drastically increase your processing
  242. 11:45speed by accumulating "common solutions
  243. 11:47" to those problems. It's very simple,
  244. 12:01but it's a low-cost, accessible method
  245. 12:03for solving worries, devised by someone
  246. 12:05who fundamentally understood the nature
  247. 12:07of human troubles. That’s amazing.
  248. 12:16This really is incredible, isn't it?
  249. 12:19I’ll tell you something—I even
  250. 12:21specify to buy a clear file, A4 paper,
  251. 12:24and yes, a clipboard to hold the paper.
  252. 12:27I even write down "please buy this
  253. 12:29clipboard." You know that clip part you
  254. 12:31press down on? Put that on the right
  255. 12:34side. I even specify that you should
  256. 12:36write in landscape orientation. Using
  257. 12:38A4 paper horizontally rather than
  258. 12:40vertically expands your thinking. How
  259. 12:42do I know? Because I experimented with
  260. 12:44it. I tested vertical versus horizontal
  261. 12:48in the Akaba-style, and the result is
  262. 12:51definitely horizontal A4: title in the
  263. 12:53top left, date in the top right. And
  264. 12:57how many lines? From four to...yes. Yes
  265. 13:00, six lines, and what about the hours?
  266. 13:02From 20:00 to 30:00, yes. You should
  267. 13:04memorize this to the point where you
  268. 13:06can recite it perfectly. Yes. Title in
  269. 13:07the top left, and put the content below
  270. 13:09the title. Yes. Date in the top right.
  271. 13:11Yes. For the date, don't use the word "
  272. 13:13month," just use hyphens. Then, those
  273. 13:15four to six lines, from 20:00 to 30:00.
  274. 13:18Yes. How many of these sheets per day?
  275. 13:20Yes. Ten sheets. Yes. You write ten
  276. 13:22sheets, but do you save them up to
  277. 13:24write all at once? Or do you write as
  278. 13:25thoughts come? You write them as you
  279. 13:27think of them, right. When you write
  280. 13:28them, do you leave them scattered?
  281. 13:30Where do you put them so they don't get
  282. 13:31messy? In a file? And then what do you
  283. 13:33do? Review them three months later.
  284. 13:35Quickly review them three months later.
  285. 13:36Yes. Have you got that down? If you
  286. 13:39just do this, you'll be fine. It's so
  287. 13:43strict, it's like a boot camp. But here
  288. 13:48is what I want you to understand. You
  289. 13:52might think, "Oh, that person is doing
  290. 13:54so great with the Akaba-style, I'm
  291. 13:56jealous." If you feel frustrated, just
  292. 13:59understand that people who are capable
  293. 14:01are simply doing things like this every
  294. 14:03single day. Are you with me? People who
  295. 14:10are capable are basically "perverts"
  296. 14:12who do what others think is impossible
  297. 14:14every single day. But you know, these "
  298. 14:20perverts" will proudly tell you. It's
  299. 14:23something anyone can do. I'm on your
  300. 14:28side, so I know. You’ve already given
  301. 14:34up, haven't you? You've broken down,
  302. 14:38right? I know you have. You were
  303. 14:41already defeated the moment you had to
  304. 14:42buy the A4 copy paper, weren't you?
  305. 14:45Exactly. You can buy a notebook at a
  306. 14:47convenience store, but the thought of
  307. 14:49having to order A4 copy paper from
  308. 14:51Amazon just made you give up, didn't it
  309. 14:53? Right then and there. Back then, you
  310. 14:55couldn't even see my back anymore once
  311. 14:56we got to the clear file stage, right?
  312. 14:59I know. "How do I put things in a clear
  313. 15:01file?" My back was completely out of
  314. 15:03sight by then. And when I told you to
  315. 15:06review it after three months, you
  316. 15:07probably started to hate me a little. I
  317. 15:10know. I get it. So, let's adjust the
  318. 15:18goal this time. Instead of trying to
  319. 15:22adopt the same habits as the "
  320. 15:23fine-paying elite," let's just see how
  321. 15:25they live their lives. Let's make this
  322. 15:28an "Oh, I see" kind of episode. I won't
  323. 15:30do that. I don't think that would help
  324. 15:33support the people working hard to pay
  325. 15:35those fines. People who can do it are
  326. 15:38already doing it. Of course, if you're
  327. 15:40watching this and thinking, "Oh, I can
  328. 15:42do that," you're probably quite the
  329. 15:44eccentric, so feel free to keep doing
  330. 15:45it. But I think that's only about 2%.
  331. 15:48The other 98%are thinking, "Nakata,
  332. 15:50don't mess with me." Yeah. I barely
  333. 15:53managed to watch from the first part to
  334. 15:55the second, but honestly, I only felt
  335. 15:56anger. I'm buzzed on potato chips and
  336. 15:59strong canned cocktails right now, so I
  337. 16:01feel like I can do anything. Actually,
  338. 16:02I've already forgotten the content of
  339. 16:04the first part. I can hear you loud and
  340. 16:06clear saying, "I didn't even take notes
  341. 16:08." It's okay, don't worry. I'm not part
  342. 16:10of the "fine-paying elite." I know, I
  343. 16:12know. But even if we can't copy them
  344. 16:18perfectly, don't you want to analyze
  345. 16:20what notes and worries really are, and
  346. 16:21clear your head? Actually, I’ve been
  347. 16:28typing a diary on my computer for 20
  348. 16:30years. Yes. And I only do it when I
  349. 16:33feel like it. Yes. Why? Because it
  350. 16:36makes me feel clear. It clears up all
  351. 16:38the mental clutter. Don't you guys ever
  352. 16:40feel refreshed after writing a blog
  353. 16:42post or something on your computer or
  354. 16:43phone? You do, right? You know what
  355. 16:46that is? It's actually emotional
  356. 16:48venting. Because it means you're
  357. 16:51becoming aware of your emotions. If
  358. 16:54you're the type to suppress and kill
  359. 16:56your emotions, I think you should start
  360. 16:57by dumping your feelings onto your
  361. 16:59smartphone or computer. That’s
  362. 17:02Nakata's opinion. I'm going to create a
  363. 17:04stepping stone before joining the "
  364. 17:05fine-paying elite." Starting now. The "
  365. 17:07you absolutely must do this" kind of
  366. 17:09mindset. I’d like to build a bridge
  367. 17:11between the author's opinion and
  368. 17:12everyone here. So, for those of you who
  369. 17:17tend to bottle up your emotions, try
  370. 17:19dumping them out on your PC or
  371. 17:20smartphone just once. I think that will
  372. 17:25really help you resolve things. It’s
  373. 17:27a great way to clear your head. And
  374. 17:31next, yes. For those of you who find it
  375. 17:41hard to think because there’s too
  376. 17:43much information, or who feel like you
  377. 17:45can't retain anything despite all the
  378. 17:46videos and articles you consume—
  379. 17:48doesn't it feel like nothing is really
  380. 17:49sticking? Is there anyone here who
  381. 17:58watches things like YouTube University
  382. 18:00but ends up forgetting it all? That’s
  383. 18:02because your information isn't
  384. 18:03organized. The best way to organize and
  385. 18:07remember information is to write it
  386. 18:08down by hand in a notebook. That's what
  387. 18:12I do for my YouTube University; I read
  388. 18:14books and take handwritten notes. It
  389. 18:17really sinks in. Got it? If you have
  390. 18:20muddled emotions, please record them on
  391. 18:22your smartphone or PC. If you struggle
  392. 18:27to organize information, try drawing
  393. 18:29diagrams or making bullet points in a
  394. 18:30handwritten notebook. Yes. And for
  395. 18:35those who have done that—you might
  396. 18:37wonder if you should blog about it—
  397. 18:38but you don't have to show anyone.
  398. 18:42It’s fine to keep it private. Just
  399. 18:44take notes and write down your raw
  400. 18:45emotions exactly as they are. Even if
  401. 18:47it's bad-mouthing someone, that's fine
  402. 18:49too. Like, "What is their deal?" or "
  403. 18:51They said something that really made me
  404. 18:53mad." Just write down that you felt
  405. 18:55angry. Pour it all out and feel better.
  406. 18:58It’s the process of venting and
  407. 18:59becoming aware of your emotions. So,
  408. 19:01that’s the first step. Next is
  409. 19:03preparing to organize and think through
  410. 19:05that information. To organize
  411. 19:06information, handwriting in a notebook
  412. 19:08is just fine. Once you've done that,
  413. 19:11only then can you move on to the next
  414. 19:13stage. The day has come for you to buy
  415. 19:17A4 paper on Amazon. The day has come
  416. 19:20for you to buy clear files. The day has
  417. 19:23come for you to buy 3M labels. If you
  418. 19:27do that, don't you think you can
  419. 19:29succeed? I’ve actually been managing
  420. 19:32my emotional venting and information
  421. 19:34organization using notebooks and my PC
  422. 19:35all this time. But that’s exactly why
  423. 19:40I thought I could do it. I can do this.
  424. 19:46I’m really quite confident. I mean, I
  425. 19:49also really understand the idea of a "
  426. 19:51paper god." Right now, I’m using a B5
  427. 19:53notebook. It’s a big notebook. It’s
  428. 19:57big. A big notebook, yeah. Handwriting
  429. 20:01things in a big notebook like this—
  430. 20:05Drawing arrows and diagrams, right?
  431. 20:08Doing it this way. That’s how I’ve
  432. 20:10been doing it. But then, I imagined
  433. 20:13what would happen if I used A4 paper
  434. 20:15and filed them. I thought this would
  435. 20:19definitely be good for me. What are
  436. 20:22people always thinking? I was aware
  437. 20:25that I often typed the same worries
  438. 20:27into my diary, or kept writing the same
  439. 20:29things. But by filing them and
  440. 20:37reviewing them three months later, you
  441. 20:39can see in chronological order where
  442. 20:40your categories of worry lie, and how
  443. 20:42deeply your hypothesis-building for
  444. 20:44those worries has developed. I thought,
  445. 20:54"I can definitely solve my problems."
  446. 20:59I’d already organized myself quite a
  447. 21:00bit with just my diary and notebook, so
  448. 21:02I was wondering if there wasn't
  449. 21:03something more. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
  450. 21:06I’m already writing a digital diary,
  451. 21:08pouring out my emotions, and writing in
  452. 21:10my notebook like a demon. My notebook
  453. 21:12fills up in just two months. In two
  454. 21:14months, this thick B5 notebook of mine
  455. 21:16is gone. Hey, give me some memo-taking
  456. 21:19tips that are better than just the
  457. 21:21usual stuff. Hey, your note-taking
  458. 21:23technique, that's fine and all. Your
  459. 21:25technique, that's fine. Who are you
  460. 21:26again? McKinsey. Yes. Who is McKinsey
  461. 21:30anyway, what are they worth? Please,
  462. 21:36let me be your apprentice. That’s
  463. 21:38what it comes down to. I really thought
  464. 21:41, "I surrender." They’re far superior
  465. 21:45to Nakata. This is something I can work
  466. 21:48with. So, for those of you reading this
  467. 21:51who think it’s impossible, you should
  468. 21:53start by just venting on your
  469. 21:54smartphone. Once you get used to that
  470. 21:58—venting in your phone's memo app or
  471. 22:00in a computer diary—then try
  472. 22:02summarizing information you've seen,
  473. 22:03like internet news or books you've read
  474. 22:05, along with your thoughts, in a
  475. 22:07notebook. After that, you'll start to
  476. 22:09feel like it’s not enough. It’s
  477. 22:11like how you eventually feel like
  478. 22:12regular muscle training isn't enough,
  479. 22:13right? Exactly. Take marathons, for
  480. 22:15example. People start by jogging around
  481. 22:17the neighborhood, but eventually, they
  482. 22:18want to run the Tokyo Marathon, right?
  483. 22:20Exactly. And at the finish line, this
  484. 22:22person is waiting for you. Waiting
  485. 22:26while stuffing files into A4 folders.
  486. 22:29Filling up A4 file folders, right? What
  487. 22:32do you think happens? The first thing I
  488. 22:35want to ask is, when should you throw
  489. 22:37them away? About this many files.
  490. 22:41Apparently, a standard clear file can
  491. 22:43hold 300 sheets. That’s packed solid.
  492. 22:47They say don't throw those packed files
  493. 22:49away, but stack them up in your room
  494. 22:50instead. Then you look at them once
  495. 22:54every three months, or maybe every six
  496. 22:55months. And they say you don't need to
  497. 22:59look at them after six months. But even
  498. 23:04so, they want you to keep them and not
  499. 23:06throw them away. Why? Because they say
  500. 23:10that ridiculous stack of notes will
  501. 23:12become your self-confidence. I thought
  502. 23:15to myself. What a weirdo. I’m going
  503. 23:22to throw them away. Sorry. I really
  504. 23:25just want to be allowed to throw those
  505. 23:27away. I’m a minimalist, after all.
  506. 23:33I’ve even discarded photos and
  507. 23:35messages from my family, so stacking up
  508. 23:37my own business notes in my room to
  509. 23:44build confidence feels like a bit much,
  510. 23:46but I don't know yet. Why? Because I
  511. 23:50haven't made a stack that big yet. But
  512. 23:55maybe I won't throw them away. Or
  513. 23:57rather, don't throw them away. I'm
  514. 24:00sorry. I got this far, and I realized I
  515. 24:03wanted to throw them away after six
  516. 24:05months. But the "stacking" experts say.
  517. 24:09Do exactly as I say. Absolutely do not
  518. 24:13throw them away. If you do, you’ll
  519. 24:17gain the processing power to support
  520. 24:19startups all over the world. I’m
  521. 24:24waiting here. When told that, I turned
  522. 24:27pale. I’ll do it. Maybe, even though
  523. 24:38all my family photos are in the cloud,
  524. 24:40in the end, when I finally collapse,
  525. 24:42there will just be those neatly filed
  526. 24:44notes, and in a room covered in them, I
  527. 24:52might be there, solving problems one
  528. 24:53after another. I’ll be waiting for
  529. 24:57you. Everyone who watched this video.
  530. 24:58I’ll be waiting. That’s what it
  531. 25:01means to solve your problems. But you
  532. 25:03all see it now, don't you? My emotions
  533. 25:06are all over the place. Or are you
  534. 25:09unable to think? Are you unable to
  535. 25:12organize those thoughts? Once you
  536. 25:18organize your thoughts, you'll master
  537. 25:20how your existence is processed by
  538. 25:21filing, labeling, and reviewing your
  539. 25:23notes properly. That's right. It’s
  540. 25:29this stage. Yes. Let’s make emotion
  541. 25:31notes. First, just complain. Just vent
  542. 25:34it all out. Spit it all out. And don't
  543. 25:36show that to anyone. On top of that,
  544. 25:38yes. Organize the input in your
  545. 25:40notebook and turn it into diagrams. If
  546. 25:44you get bored of that, let’s move on
  547. 25:46to A4 paper and clear folders. Shall I
  548. 25:49show you? Look forward to the next
  549. 25:51follow-up video. The next follow-up
  550. 25:55video will start with me happily
  551. 25:56holding an incredible amount of clear
  552. 25:58folders. Welcome to the front lines of
