Shifting from "How to Work Harder" to "How to Design Leaner" ($700/month): I live in a regional Japanese city with my partner. By living minimally and splitting the bills, my personal share of the rent is kept at just $240 USD (approx. 38,000 JPY) per month, keeping my total living cost at $700 USD/month. In my corporate days, I used to trap my brain in a toxic loop of asking, "How can I push myself harder?" Today, my low financial baseline allows me to ask a much wiser question: "How can I design my life so it runs smoothly without me needing to burn out?" 2. The Sleeping Brain Hack & Routine Management: Willpower is a finite resource that drains your mental RAM. To combat this, I use strict system designs rather than "motivation." For this YouTube channel, I never sit down in the morning to brainstorm from scratch. I simply decide on a single theme the night before and go to sleep. While I sleep, my subconscious mind naturally organizes the thoughts. By the time I wake up, the path is clear. By pairing this with simplified daily micro-decisions—like eating the same quick meals and wearing fixed seasonal clothes—I save my brain's energy for what truly matters, like writing my 40+ Kindle books. 3. Changing the Game Mode: Life as an Easy-Mode Settings Puzzle: The modern capitalist world tells us that life is a game where you must collect the most money or reach the highest level. But for a sensitive soul, that is a recipe for a crash. I realized that true freedom isn't about buying expensive time-saving gadgets with a high-paying, high-stress corporate job. It's about designing a lifestyle where time naturally generates itself because your needs are small. Life is not an unmovable mountain; it is a settings menu. By subtracting unneeded items, empty social expectations, and bloated goals, you are simply changing the difficulty from "Hard" to "Easy." Protect your space at a comfortable 1-meter altitude and let the system do the heavy lifting. ---------- Born in '94 | Living with my partner in a 1DK apartment | Monthly living expenses: 110,000 JPY ($700 USD).｜Author of 37 Japanese books and 10 English translations on Kindle.｜A writer who verbalizes the mindset of HSPs and introverts, while earning a living as an Uber Eats rider. My theme is: "Stepping away from society's hectic pace through minimalism to reclaim your true self." Please note: This podcast is rooted in my life in Japan. The lifestyle I share is made possible specifically because of Japan’s unique environment—such as its social safety nets (national health insurance and pension systems), exceptional public safety, and cultural background. Rather than a localized global show, this is a Japanese podcast broadcasted directly from Japan, with English subtitles added. (Please note that the English subtitles are auto-translated by YouTube, so I appreciate your understanding if there are any rough translations!) Even without earning a massive income, by living small and focusing purely on what truly matters to you, life can become incredibly rich and fulfilling. Welcome to my minimal, quiet, and peaceful world.
