Reading Notes | How long will the current way of working continue?

"mobile (action)/bohemian (bohemian)" has sufficient independence and action literacy, and a free life, even living like an artist, is the main appeal of the book. The two authors, Naoyuki Honda/Daisuke Shijiao, have successfully practiced this kind of life mode for many years, absorbing enough nutrients from the original field, and then through continuous experimentation, they finally jumped out of the existing framework and found the most suitable life mode they liked - put what they like. At the center of the lifestyle is "the way to keep yourself as yourself as possible for as long as possible", "to elevate work, performance, and quality of life to the limit".

The two authors of this book are in different fields, and they have accumulated several years of experience in the company. Because they also advocate a free life, they mutually forge and exchange experiences. Now they both live their own time every day, with no public or private life. way, and do not hesitate to share the process of reaching the goal with readers. Just don't read the book and delusional thinking can be achieved overnight. The author has also stayed in the company to experience and accumulate professional skills, and has enough basic skills for what he wants to do. After various preparations and experiments, he finally walked out of the current road-- No longer rely on a single income, not limited by time and place, and only pick up the work that you love from your heart.

In 2017, when this book was published, such a model was as unattainable as the top of a mountain, but under the influence of Covid-19 raging around the world, remote work has become a daily routine for many people, and everyone is freed from working time and place to try to increase side jobs Even resuming business, I began to see more possibilities.

Working from home, strict self-management has become particularly important. First, examine the life you really want to live, determine your foothold and direction, and then make plans to move forward. If you want to expand into new territories, there are public and private matters to deal with, and the time schedule must be better. planning. The author reminds that because you are busy, you should invest time in "things you are good at"; there is an interesting sentence in the article: "In the past, people with very few interests were just simple freaks." Everyone has their own niche media, and they have the opportunity to make a breakthrough by formulating a careful strategy.

If you want to free yourself from time, place, company and salary, here are three key points:

 1. Practicing minimalist thinking: master the minimum expenditure, you can master the extravagance of adventure 2. Develop key abilities: the ability to move physically, maintain flexibility in thinking (professional skills + basic skills), and utilize technology 3. Lifestyle (things you want to do) x travel (places) x careers: The importance of skill combinations is greater than a single skill. Mix and match different fields and environments that you are good at to create unique values.

In Chapter 5, the author shared useful equipment and APPs, and the "Appendix Action Bohemian Lifestyle Equipment List Reference" also lists the tools used by the author at the time of publication, using mobile technology to enhance their mobile literacy, for readers who like outdoor activities. Should be super practical, this part also needs to keep up with the times. In addition, the author is accustomed to using audio recordings to assign work. I think it is more suitable for the use of the first time. If you need to communicate with people about important things, it seems that it is better to leave typing records.

Perhaps because of his personality, he has long been used to stability/comfort, and his current business is warehousing, which can almost be said to be bound here; but I read this book "How Long Can the Current Way of Working Last?" ", and I can't help but imagine what it would be like if I went to a bohemian life.

More important than learning the author's life style is "actively thinking about life" . Everyone must ask themselves: "What kind of life do you want to live in the next few decades?" What is the key "life center"?

Even though the workplace is limited due to practical considerations such as the location of the warehouse and the school district of the children, outside the busiest time, you can still choose to live in other ways than playing a waste, create different values, or guide the value back to your own business. This is our goal for this year! Let it not be an excuse to limit thinking and mind, but it can give you the courage to step out and come back because of something to rely on. "No problem. No matter where we are, we can be free!"

Finally, the author Honda shares the golden sentence before Jobs' famous saying "Stay hungry, stay foolish."

Keep looking. Don't set.

"Keep searching, don't stop."
