When it comes to food and work, it's best to eat until you're about 80% full.

The Obon holiday begins tomorrow (photo is for illustrative purposes only)

Since we first opened, we have been closed for a little longer during the Obon and New Year holidays.
The other day, in Showa-choTakumi KazuI was told, "That's a long time!", so I guess it's a long time for a normal restaurant... If you count it up, we'll be open for about half a month in August.
Because of that, I was busy over the weekend.

Every year during Obon, I plan to return to my wife's hometown in Matsumoto, Shinshu.

It's best not to overdo your work

Having constraints on work makes it easier to see what needs to be done next

I like the design of Heinz ketchup and mustard bottles because they have an American feel, but the bottles themselves are large, and when you squeeze them, the spray shoots out with force...it seems like it's difficult to aim and pour. This has been an issue for me for a while, so I think it's time to change it...

I often write on my blog about not pushing yourself too hard.
It's not that I'm unmotivated or that I don't try hard, but I don't push myself too hard.

To put it in perspective, it's like eating until you're 80% full.

If you're feeling unwell, eat sparingly and don't drink until you vomit.
I think it's good to have that kind of attitude at work too.

If you exceed your limits, you will lose concentration and be unable to make calm decisions.
As you increase the speed of your car, your field of vision narrows. That's how it feels.

If I push myself too hard, I feel like I might overlook important things and my work effectiveness and efficiency will decrease.

Working hard is not a virtue

The other day, someone from another shop told me, "When I saw that Usaboku was taking a break, I thought it was okay for us to take a break too. It gave me courage."

It's not that we intended to do it that way, but I think there are many people who think they shouldn't take time off work, or who push themselves in a way that makes them feel suffocated.
I think that the way Usagi and I work can sometimes make other people feel at ease.

If there are other people out there who feel suffocated, I would be happy if they would remember that it's okay to relax a little, and that it's better for their work if they don't push themselves too hard.

Our time off is also for the sake of those around us...

Therefore, we will be closed from tomorrow, the 17th (Tuesday) until the XNUMXth (Wednesday).
It was a story to justify the break.
