One day at Kabukicho #DAY141 - The spring. I can't live without GTD.

This week has been a bit hectic, so it seems unlikely to be able to go to Kabukicho on weekdays. So I guess it'll be the weekend to go to Kabukicho for next time. In the midst of all that hustle and bustle days, recently I have started to strictly do GTD. I mean if I don't do GTD thoroughly, I won't be able to keep up with my work, personal life, or time.

What I've been using to do GTD for a long time with is the quite famous app called Things. I have been using it since the first release, and it is quite helpful to have versions for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and even the Apple Watch now.

I have tried OmniFocus before for a little while, but because we can do a lot more things with OmniFocus compared to Things, it unfortunately made me feel it was too complex or I couldn't use it easily freely. In the other words, it was like I couldn't use naturally. In the end, I have come to the conclusion that simple Things is easier to use, and I have been using it for over 15 years now, one way or another.

A laundromat which seem to be frequently used by foreign tourists visiting Japan. Even on this day, as I was taking photos here, tourists with suitcases came here and there.

I took this photo with no wonder, but actually, it took a little courage to take it.

Now, let's get back to the topic of GTD. I recently got to know that GTD is also used in corporate training and so on, actually. In my case, I remember I read about GTD in a book or something like that and started to do it.

When I first started, so about 15 years ago, I didn't really think "this is awesome!" at all. But for me, at about 15 years ago, task management itself has been already no longer the paper-based era, I think that's why I started using tools like Things and OmniFocus.

Oh, of course I still use paper as well as the Apps now. I still can't part with Moleskine notebooks which I started using around the time I was an university student. So, I don't collecte all the thoughts I came up with in one INBOX, but they should be in either the INBOX of Things or in a Moleskine note, so it's not a problem to gather information strictly in one place.

Let's leave the topic of GTD for now and take a look at the rest of the photos. Exclusion of Japanese Yakuza. It's written here. However, this city is still under its influence and I also think that if it were not under its influence, even the minimum order would collapse. If the civility of the city increases, it may not be necessary, but I also think that is idealistic at the same time. I took this photo because there were actually much more things I want to write about this topic, but I'm not sure what would be gonna happen if I would delve too much into it, so.

Boys and girls dressed similarly, they come and go away similarly, but it becomes enjoyable to take photos just by thinking that each of them has their own drama. And there might be no other cities where strangers approach me freely while I'm just walking around taking photos like this city in a metro area of Japan.

A little at the end... spring has come again this year. News about the cherry blossom blooming information was aired from a podcast I was listening to while driging. It made me realize "My grandma is no longer here..." and I feel sorts of sadness or loneliness, I couldn't stop feeling those sorts of emotion. I used to take her to see cherry blossoms and plums almost every year. I think she was the one who loved plums more than cherry blossoms. I just really wanted to write this at the end no matter what. Oh well.

See you then.
