You can live a life like a writer.

3dcg artist Kurosawa shares his friend’s questioning method:

  1. First write the goals you want to achieve;
  2. Next, write down the specific steps you need to achieve that goal, and what steps you have completed;
  3. Write down which step you have reached, you can’t achieve that goal, you need help;
  4. Finally, add thanks

Kurosawa believes that this method is not only suitable for asking people on Twitter, but also useful when communicating with engineers at work, so he sent it to Twitter

Once the editor of the famous comic book “Cosmic Brothers” and “Long Sakura”, Sado Island Yongping held the Cork Labo editorial study meeting in July. The editor of Kadokawa’s entertainment novel, Tsuyuki, participated in the study meeting and shared his harvest on Twitter

More than just books, “editing” is a technology that can be applied to a wide variety of scenarios. In the slides, these techniques are condensed into very streamlined words, and the embankment believes that every sentence has the value of further digging

US venture capital firm Y Combinator CEO Ali Rowghani has published an article on the company’s official blog, citing what Steve Jobs once said when he was in Pixar:

When I am in the best state, I will vacate my time without scheduling any schedules, thinking about, meeting with people who want to talk, and flying my curiosity. This is the time that makes me creative. Without these free time, I can’t lead the company. As a leader, you must let yourself lead the company in two steps. Behind the company’s ass is not a leader

The light novel editor Sanmu Yima read the Japanese translation of this blog post and was deeply inspired to think that editors and producers who are not able to work for meetings and monotonous daily work should read it

Miki said that editors and producers can also be said to be the operators who win the IP products (as with the operators, their work results will directly affect their evaluation in the company)

However, Japan is still plagued by the old work methodology, especially the high-level: equating the unscheduled schedule with lazy, equating the invisible figure with no enthusiasm, thinking that enthusiasm is enthusiasm, sincerity is time. Companies or departments that are bound by this concept will inevitably put top-level articles in the first place, and creation will become secondary

Miki believes that editors must also think about things in the same way as creators in order to gain the trust of each other. He wants to keep in mind the CEO theory in the text, not to become a person who only knows how to deal with daily affairs
