I’ve tried many different management methods, but none of them suit me…
There is a lot of information on various task management methods and self-management methods available on the internet and in books.
There was some information that caught my attention and made me think, “This looks good” and “I think this will work,” but when I actually tried it, it didn’t work at all.I’m sure many of you have had the experience of feeling good for a few days, but it didn’t last long.
In this article, we will introduce how to find a self-management method that suits you, for those who are seeking the know-how to change themselves for the better.
Observe yourself as a “scientist”
“Stanford’s Self-Changing Classroom” is a popular book that introduces ways to change the state of not being able to control your own actions according to your own thoughts.At the beginning of this book, it is written about observing yourself as a scientist.
Scientists conduct experiments and observations through repeated trial and error in order to obtain the desired answer.Many people in the world, including myself, are not scientists, but there is no doubt that it is a job that requires a lot of patience.
In the process, you will record and analyze your failures, and use them as clues that will lead you to the success you want to achieve someday.
By knowing and accumulating failure patterns, you can arrive at a good method.
I believe that the best way to increase self-control is to understand how and why you lose control.

I am using the fact that my control did not go well as information about failure patterns to be an asset in the future.In this way, failure can become the mother of success.
In that sense, if you make a mistake and jump to new know-how one after another without looking back, you can easily say that you are throwing away what could have been a valuable asset.
When you fail, it is important to summarize the patterns of failure, rather than leaving you feeling disappointed and helpless and looking for the next method.
The book “Stanford’s Self-Changing Classroom” introduces 10 ways to change yourself, but it is clearly stated that not all of the know-how will be suitable for the reader.
It is important to put into practice the 10 know-hows introduced here, and to have the attitude of finding your own method, while also making mistakes that don’t work.
I don’t want to fail, I want to know how to succeed right away!
If possible, we would all like to know a foolproof method that can be applied to everyone.I want a quick solution without making any mistakes.
However, since each person is different, sometimes it is easy to find a method that works, and sometimes it is found after a huge amount of failure.
However, the important thing is not to blindly accumulate failures, but to have an attitude of accumulating the experience of failure as material for establishing success the next time.
