Book Introduction

“I recommend living roughly!”
The art of energy saving while maintaining quality of life

Morning person, Miracle Morning, 1 challenge a day… .
We live in a society where we are constantly pressured to ‘grow’ and ‘work hard.’
Living in a world that demands 110 percent when even 100 percent is not enough, there is no way to avoid exhaustion.
In the midst of the relentless waves of self-improvement, not only are you wasting your energy pointlessly, but you're also building up a sense of guilt for not being able to do it perfectly.
Even though you are putting in enough effort at this very moment, if your efforts are actually consuming your life, it is time to stop and ask yourself:
'Why am I pushing myself this hard?'

A revolutionary declaration that overturns the definition of self-improvement: Living a rough life.

Attitudes toward life are usually divided into two types: the all-out type (perfectionism) and the avoidant type (bystanderism).
These two seem different, but surprisingly, they often lead to the same conclusion.
Because whether you rush into everything with passion and hope to do it perfectly and end up burning out, or you don't even try because you're afraid you won't do it perfectly, both ways will ultimately ruin your life.
Amidst the overflowing self-improvement trend, we suffer from chronic fatigue and obsessive perfectionism, losing precious energy and health.
Is there really no other option for us besides giving it our all and giving up?

Author Lina Nomes, who has conducted numerous workshops and coaching programs, has emerged as a new lifestyle mentor with 24 million cumulative views on YouTube.
The author declares, "I am a sloppy person, a sloppy person!" and suggests that we end the curse of "hard work" and practice the wisdom of "moderateness."
This is a provocative and revolutionary declaration that completely overturns the definition of self-development we have known so far in a social atmosphere where being 'roughly' or 'moderately' is considered lazy or irresponsible.
The author warns that perfectionism is a poison that hinders growth and leads to serious burnout.
In particular, I believe that comparing yourself to others' perfect images through social media and belittling yourself is something that needs to be stopped first.
The author redefines the imperfectist as a wise person who efficiently allocates energy and maintains mental health. He also suggests a specific way to change one's mindset by recognizing the time and effort wasted in unconsciously pursuing perfection in daily life, relationships, and career management, and by accepting imperfection and unburdening the mind.
It also delivers the groundbreaking message that it's okay not to live hard, and with sharp insight and witty sentences, it encourages us to find the joy of human life in imperfection instead of pursuing perfection.

Into the book

I hope that the moment you close this book, you will shake off the unnecessary things that have been blocking you from doing what you need to do and take hold of your own action plan.
Doing it roughly is not a half-baked attempt at success.
It's not like you're admitting failure before you even start.
It's not an excuse or an escape.
Roughly speaking, it is an optimization strategy that I establish for myself based on the resources I have and the ground I am currently standing on.
This may be the most optimistic choice we can make in this complex, beautiful, and precarious world.

--- From "A Declaration of Living Roughly"

We become so concerned with all the ways things could go wrong in our daily tasks and decisions, so obsessed with making every choice "perfect and right," that we struggle to prioritize and end up getting nothing done.
To clear the hard drive of your mind, you need to filter out the clutter and unnecessary files one by one and create space to process truly important thoughts.
The best way to do this is to organize each area of our lives one by one, in the order in which we actually spend our days, from morning to night.
--- From "Choosing Roughly"

Let's acknowledge that what we wear doesn't always have to reflect who we are inside.
We are so complex, like unrefined sugar, that we cannot be expressed through simple colors, silhouettes, or textures.
What if, instead, certain clothes could become my style simply because they held a special meaning to me? … My personal style might be closer to the “feel” I get when I wear them than the “outward appearance” of the clothes.
That's what makes the clothes your own style.
Style can be about how clothes allow you to act and how much freedom they allow you to move.
Your style may simply be that you're too busy to even think about choosing an outfit.
Not choosing can itself be a choice.
So that too is your style!
--- From "Rough Styling"

If you turn away from something you're genuinely interested in because others don't acknowledge it, you're essentially telling yourself, "This is meaningless."
If you live your life without ever trying that, you're just quietly nodding to the world's skeptical gaze.
Whether you're a pirate metal enthusiast or a serious fan of hand-carving wooden clogs, sometimes it's worth giving it a try, even if it's just a little something.
That's the least you can do for yourself.
Ultimately, a job is a matter of 'occupancy'.
You may not be able to control how much of your time it takes up during the day, but you can choose how much space it takes up in your heart.

--- From "Building a Career"

The meat-centric culture you were born into was not of your own making.
You never decided how to fill the supermarket shelves.
The false nutritional information and fear marketing you've been fed since childhood wasn't your choice either.
Meat and dairy products may have once played a valuable role in our communities, but they are now becoming one of the ways in which humanity destroys itself.
Becoming a 'roughly vegan' is a declaration that you will no longer turn a blind eye to that reality.
It is a pledge not to be a bystander or remain silent.
And it's a commitment to slowly back away from that brink of destruction as quickly as possible, at your own pace, in a way that feels safe to you.

--- From "Roughly Going Vegan"

Things started to change when I realized that the reason I never felt "at home" as an adult wasn't because I couldn't arrange my furniture, pick out the perfect bedding, or organize my things like a professional.
There was a more fundamental reason.
No matter how much I tried to decorate it, my heart couldn't ignore the fact that I was living in someone else's house.
…When I started looking more deeply into those wonderful interiors that I had held up as my ideal, I began to see cracks within them.
The standard of the 'ideal home' that has made us constantly reproach ourselves may have been a mirage from the beginning.

--- From "Roughly Decorating a House"

'Bumpyness' is proof of being alive.
It is those curves that make you feel like a comfortable 'home' to others.
The body should be a comfortable space, even if it has flaws, like a familiar living room where someone has stayed for a long time.
But rather than feeling secure within our own bodies, we sit in front of an uneasy mirror, caught between “as is” and “perfection,” constantly trying to fix ourselves.
In the end, what remains is someone who is neither who I want to be nor who I am, but rather someone unfamiliar and ambiguous.

--- From "Take Care of Yourself"

Only when we make peace with what we can never have can we enjoy what we have.
I don't have a magic window into the future, but I do have a past and a present.
The past has shown us how radically the world can change, and the present tells us that change is already underway, rapidly.
We shouldn't give up on what we can do right now just because it's not "big enough."
We shouldn't deprive ourselves of a good life just because it isn't perfect.

--- From "Holding a Rough Hope"

The world makes us judge ourselves by how many plans we put into action.
People who put ideas into action one after another that pop into their heads are often praised as being 'enterprising'.
But I don't believe that anymore.
I've come to believe that the more ideas you generate than you execute, the higher the 'quality' of the choices you end up executing.
We imagine all the possible options and then we clear our minds about the ones we don't choose.
After all that, putting it into action is still the most solid choice that remains.

There are more things that are okay to do roughly than you think.

Modern people, who have to make countless choices, suffer from 'decision fatigue'.
Aren't you wasting unnecessary energy on even the smallest choices you make dozens of times a day, like, "What should I wear today?" or "What should I eat for dinner?"
Instead of wasting energy on truly important tasks, the author introduces a method to reduce brain fatigue by consciously doing things that are okay to do roughly.
For example, the "Styling Roughly" chapter offers practical tips to help you relieve the obsession and stress that comes from fashion and appearance management.
We share how to free yourself from unnecessary competition and attention by focusing on highlighting your core charms instead of excessive self-presentation, and by adapting to various situations with a minimal number of items to reduce the time spent agonizing over your wardrobe.
The chapter "Home Decorating" introduces specific methods for relieving psychological pressure and creating a space of true rest in your living space by letting go of your obsession with trendy interior items promoted on social media and focusing on convenience in your life.
By making these minor choices roughly, you free up mental resources to focus on the important things.

In particular, the word 'roughly' was taboo in the field of career management.
But the author says the key isn't to give 100 percent to everything, but to find one thing you can truly "give your all to" that's truly valuable and allows you to grow.
It encourages "strategic egoism," which involves focusing energy solely on one's core competencies, free from unnecessary competition and meaningless overtime.
This principle can help you avoid unnecessary burnout in the workplace, clearly set your own career goals, and regain work-life balance.

Don't give up, don't pour your heart and soul into something. Find one thing you can focus on.

Life is full of unpredictable events that shake things up, and the world changes so fast that it makes you dizzy.
In this situation, isn't the dream that life will go as planned an impossible one? We're not superheroes, and most things don't go our way, but there are still things and people we want to give our all to.
This book tells you how to live a decent life as a 'rough-and-tumble person'.
It's also a message of encouragement to let go of overly high expectations and not give it your all, and not to settle into a life where you don't even try for fear of failing or ending up in burnout.
To do that, I first need to figure out what is really worth investing time in in my life and what I can afford to do half-heartedly.
Let's reduce unnecessary energy consumption and focus only on what is absolutely necessary.
So that you can focus all your energy on what really matters.
Perhaps there are more things you can do without making a mess of things than you think! This book is a gift, encouraging you to reclaim control of your life and navigate it at your own pace, imperfectly but joyfully and satisfyingly.
