People who systematize succeed: 55 Laws to Eliminate Procrastination and Become a "Do-It-Now" Person By Eishiro Noro Release Date: July 31, 2025 Let's start with this: Think back to your elementary school schedule. First period: Japanese. Second period: Math. Third period: Physical Education, and fourth period: Music. With the schedule already set, many of you probably never thought about why you were taking Japanese class. But if the schedule had something like "Memorize 5 kanji characters," you might have been able to utilize the class a little better, right? Isn't your work in the same state? For example, if your schedule only says "Deadline for XX," the bad habit of thinking "I have three more days" will surface. Even for meetings, you might find yourself the day before thinking, "Huh? What are we talking about in tomorrow's meeting?" That's why I write the purpose in my schedule. I'll explain in detail in the main text, but just by "visualizing" each purpose, you'll naturally be able to take action. In this way, you "create a system" to execute your plans. Planning is about thinking about methods and procedures and devising them in order to achieve something. You might imagine planning as something long-term, but even tomorrow's meeting and the day after's lunch should each have a plan. I think that the accumulation of these plans leads to the achievement of long-term goals. Conversely, no matter how grand and wonderful a plan you make, if you don't have small daily plans to move towards it, it will end up being a pie in the sky. And the key to execution is the system. What you need to do to ensure you do things, even if they're unpleasant or you're likely to forget them, isn't to get motivated, but to have "a system that moves you," such as preparation, habits, and routines.
