The studying dragon

For example, you set up a kettle of water to boil for your tea. Quick! Wipe down the whole counter before it’s done boiling, for the love of god you’re running out of time! Wipe it down! The water is almost boiling.

The water is boiling and your counter is clean. Now set your timer for your tea for three minutes and of my god there’s cups in your room! Quick! Get all the cups from everywhere in the house! Run! You’ve only got three minutes! Get all the dishes into the kitchen!

Oh would you look at that. You got all the dishes in the sink and now your tea is ready. Nice. Now you can chill with your tea.

This kind of helps with executive dysfunction.

I start by playing music that I like or music that I can stim too. This helps me get into a better mood.

Then I switch to lo-fi music because music with lyrics is usually distracting to me.

wednesdays are somehow always my slump days... i just never get shit done >:(

Imperial Era・皇紀 (kouki)

The Western system of counting years is commonly used in Japan, but the traditional Japanese system, based on the reigns of emperors, is still a part of everyday life. Since 1868, the accession of each new emperor has marked the beginning of a new era. The first year of a new era is numbered starting with one. In past eras, the name of the new era or 年号 (nengou) was selected by an emperor, but now the name selection process has its own committee. The name is chosen to be auspicious, and after an emperor dies he is known by that name.

The first year of each 皇紀 is called 元年 (gan nen) and the subsequent years are numbered 二年 (ni nen), 三年 (san nen), etc. Usually, the era ends when the emperor of that era dies, but in 2019 this tradition was broken and the emperor abdicated on April 30th. This was done for health reasons, and took a lot of red tape and preplanning to pull off this momentous change.

Many forms and documents in Japanese require your birthdate and other dates to be written in this form. Residence cards, driver’s licenses, and application forms use this format. It’s good to know your birth year, the current year in Reiwa (the current 皇紀), the start date of Reiwa, and the number and Western year of the last year of Heisei (the 皇紀 before the current one - 2019 was Heisei Year 31 before the first of May) if you will be filling out paperwork in Japan. Then you can easily fill out your own birthdate, and you can count from the last Heisei year/first Reiwa year if you need to know the date of a past event.
