Speaking of Nine-Gongge (opens in a new tab), I am not only familiar with it, but I also really like to use it to manage work and record the trajectory of life. In addition to the “[Jiugongge Efficient Execution]” (https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products/R030074434?utm_source=vista (opens in a new tab)), which I helped Jinzhou Weekly a while ago &utm_medium=ap-books&utm_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-201810)”, I wrote two articles for the special issue. I have also read “Mandala-style associative note-taking technique” written by Mr. Matsumura Nio before. : Key Actions, Goal Orientation (opens in a new tab)” (originally titled “Mandala Nine Palaces Thinking Technique: Achieving Goals and Successfully Realizing Dreams”).

So, when I heard that my friend Zhang Yongxi went to the [Life Lab] of Eslite Bookstore Nanxi store on the evening of October 12, 2018 (https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/%E7%94%9F%E6%B4%BB%E5 (opens in a new tab) %AF%A6%E9%A9%97%E5%AE%A4?source=feed_text&xts%5B0%5D=68.ARDNn-jEd68Nq4nmGH3PBweTIwD682gn2zNZ_Y w0dNyzCPBY_UrI0pvItND312jFvnV76CGnAGv_r5ppfwHaIZ15sQDeOpEdxn-O_SS3D4lw-9kB-dZq9oHgtWlovf1EDWXeLCPj QJqcmrOs-BPy6QL9FMyAnyvZ_Kx2yiI2tXnCTuI1Hc5adfM&tn=%2ANK-R), when a lecture and sharing session on “Handbook Work Method from Japan” was held, I immediately went against all odds to attend.

I also happened to take this opportunity to visit the Eslite Bookstore Nanxi store that I have not yet had the opportunity to visit. As soon as we climbed up to the fifth floor, we immediately felt the strong aroma of books and literature. We also saw Nancy’s in the Stationery Hall. The room has been decorated, and my friend Yongxi’s new book “Unsuccessful because you are too fast (opens in a new tab)” has been placed. Oops, I really hope I can give a speech or hold a book launch event in the future!

Thinking framework of Mandala Handbook

In this lecture (opens in a new tab) titled “Handbook working method from Japan”, my friend Yongxi shared with everyone “#MANDULABOOK (opens in a new tab)” are also viewed from three different perspectives: “bird, insect, and fish”, encouraging guests to grasp the overall perspective of life and the relationship between the implementation of work tasks every day.

There are actually many reports (opens in a new tab) and books (opens in a new tab) about the Jiugongge thinking method, so I won’t go into details here. To put it simply, we can train our association ability by practicing “mandala thinking”. Yongxi also gave a large number of examples to share with everyone in this lecture. It is obvious that Jiugongge has not only entered his life long ago, but has even become a part of his life.

Shohei Ohtani’s Nine Palaces Enlightenment

When Yongxi showed this large nine-square grid, I couldn’t help but think of the story of the Major League Baseball “Two Blades” Shohei Ohtani (opens in a new tab) player. At the age of sixteen, Otani knew how to use the “Mandal thinking method” (Mandal thinking method). The Nine-Gong Grid Table (opens in a new tab) drawn by Art shows that he not only has good mental aptitude, excellent physical condition, but also a delicate mind; more importantly, he has strict discipline that is beyond ordinary athletes. Until he entered professional baseball, his monthly expenses were less than 10,000 yen, which shows that he is very strict with himself. Having said that, Shohei Ohtani (opens in a new tab) player can quickly establish himself in the Major League Baseball, and even has a good chance of winning the American League Rookie King (opens in a new tab) in 2018, which is enough to prove that this is not a fluke! The inspiration and help brought to him by Jiugongge are naturally not to mention.

The practice of playful and efficient life

From the photo above, we can see that this is not just a simple nine-square grid chart, but reflects an enterprising life and a rich lifestyle. This also echoes the theme of this lecture “Handbook work method from Japan”, sharing from weekly calendar management, weekly project management and annual plan management, hoping to help everyone find the joy of playful and efficient life.

Thanks to Eslite Bookstore Nanxi Store for organizing this event, it also allowed my friend Yongxi and I to learn a few more tricks, which can be said to have benefited a lot. Well, I also look forward to having the opportunity to share my working skills with you in the future!
