Title: Digital Audit: Reclaiming Focus and Mental Freedom
Hi everyone, I’m Yoshifumi Sarukawa from Hashiru Oyasai. Today is Friday, May 15th. I’m recording this after a refreshing 30-minute bike ride along the river here in Miyazaki. Feeling the breeze and getting some exercise really helped clear my head and prepare me for today's topic: My Digital and SNS Audit.
My day starts at 4:05 AM with my "Habit Stacking" routine. I begin with English on Duolingo, then move to law studies on my iPad. A unique part of my morning is using Gemini, my AI partner. When I upload my study notes for feedback, it greets me with, "Good morning, Sarukawa-san." Even though it's an AI, that small bit of recognition feels rewarding and keeps me motivated. It’s a reminder of how important simple communication is, even in a digital world.
I’ve been closely monitoring Google Analytics for my EC site. I’ve found that about 30 to 40 dedicated supporters—roughly the size of a classroom—consistently visit my site every week. This core community is the result of my consistent posting of podcasts and blogs over the last six months. My next strategy is to shift from just "reaching" people to creating a "response"—focusing on how to turn those visits into deeper engagement and membership.
The biggest change this week was deleting Instagram from my personal iPhone. Instagram is a brilliant tool, but it's designed to capture our attention and trigger our desire for social validation. I realized it was taking up too much of my mental energy. Now, I only access it through store devices during work hours. This physical boundary has made my mind incredibly clear and significantly improved my well-being.
Finally, I’d like to share a recipe for a simple Tomato Sauce Pasta using our seasonal "new onions." The sweetness of these onions combined with canned tomatoes creates a flavor so fresh you wouldn't believe it's so simple. The secret is the pasta water: keep it at exactly 1.4% salt concentration. Toss your 1.6mm pasta with the sauce a minute before it’s done to achieve the perfect emulsion.
Thanks for listening, and I'll see you in the next episode. Bye-bye!
