This book presents a method to create mental and emotional space, taught by an introspection designer who has revived the drive of over 5,000 people, a method even practiced by major corporations.
### To those whose minds are constantly noisy
Work tasks, unreplied messages, tidying the house, that difficult person, career direction... Things you want to do, things you should do, things you're concerned about, things you're worried about. Big and small, this and that. A mountain of things to do and think about, yet for some reason, you can't move. This is not due to a weak will or lack of ability. It's simply because too many "concerns" have accumulated in your mind.
### When worries disappear, people naturally start to move
Our minds continuously consume enormous energy just by holding various "concerns" of all sizes. Conversely, if these concerns disappear, people naturally start to move. The 5 steps in this book are precisely that "method for organizing thoughts and emotions."
### Zeroing out concerns in 5 steps
"Write out → Sort → Concretize → Tidy up → Review" By repeating this simple cycle, space is created in your mind and heart, and things you've been postponing will naturally begin to move forward.
### The basic principle is super simple: "Just match the size and quantity!"
By simply adjusting the size and quantity of your concerns to match yourself, anyone can smoothly start moving.
### Recommended for people who:
* Whose minds are constantly noisy and cannot concentrate.
* Are overflowing with anxiety and vague uneasiness, from small things to large.
* Have too many things to do and don't know where to start.
* Have things they want to do in the back of their minds but keep putting off.
* Want to create mental and emotional space and act with a clear mind.
