Honestly, I didn't expect it to come this far...

If you quit the company longing to stay at home,

Life suddenly becomes a cliff,

Full of anxiety,

I thought many times that I might have made a mistake...

But, uh,

Even the months that didn't go well

Even months when the reward was several thousand yen

It wasn't all a waste.

As much as you act,

It was properly connected to the next.

At the end of the month,

Give me all the real numbers!

Even people who are tired now,

Even those who have no results,

I want you to watch with me.

Follow me and wait ❤️‍🔥

... Read more「在宅ワーク 後悔」で検索してた頃の私に言いたいのは、後悔=失敗じゃないってこと。会社を辞めた直後は、収入が読めない・孤独・家事育児と仕事の境目がない…で、メンタルも一変しました。「選択間違えたかも」って何度も思ったし、SNSで見かけるキラキラ在宅勢と比べて落ち込む日もありました。 私が少し楽になったのは、まず“後悔の原因”を分解したからです。①お金(固定費が重い)②時間(作業時間が足りない)③スキル(何を売ればいいか不明)④環境(集中できない)のどれが一番しんどいかを紙に書き出すだけでも、対策が見えてきます。 お金面は、月末に数字を「全部」出すのが本当に大事でした。売上だけじゃなく、経費・手数料・サブスク(使ってないのに払い続けてた…)まで棚卸し。私はこの“サブスク整理”だけで固定費が下がって、気持ちがかなり軽くなりました。検索で「サブスク 保存ランキング」みたいなまとめを見るのも参考になるけど、結局は「今の自分の収入に見合ってるか」で判断するのが一番でした。 次に、気持ちが一変する(=状況や気分がガラッと変わる)タイミングは、だいたい“結果が出ない期間が続いた後”に来ました。報酬が数千円の月でも、投稿・改善・学びを積み上げた分だけ、翌月以降に反応が増えたり、相談が来たりして「次につながる芽」が出てきたんです。 もし今しんどいなら、いきなり完璧を目指さずに、①作業時間を30分でも確保②やることを1つに絞る③月末に収支を見える化、の3つだけやってみてほしい。後悔してる自分も含めて、ちゃんと前に進んでます。
