There is a lot of information we want to keep track of in our daily lives. For example:  
- Expenses during business trips
- Upcoming travel plans
- Schedules, including hotel reservation confirmations
- Spending habits, like what, when, where, and how you spend money
- Daily weight fluctuations
- Managing collected business cards
- Daily notes or journal entries

 

You could record this data in a table using spreadsheet software like Excel. However, as the entry number increases, it becomes difficult to remember where you wrote what and which cell should contain which data. Managing it all can quickly become cumbersome. That said, purchasing a dedicated app for each record type is not a realistic solution.  

 

That’s why I started thinking about developing a “simple data entry program”. With this program, users can predefine input fields and call them whenever they need to quickly record essential information, including dates and times. Additionally, I could design this system to compare input and output data, much like a resource planning (RP) system.  

 

In theory, exporting the entered data to a spreadsheet for processing should be sufficient. However, with the help of AI, we can now analyze and utilize data more effectively than ever before.  

 

This is what I envision as a “simple database”. In fact, this is a project I’m quietly working on at my company.  

 

 

I am currently undergoing post-kidney transplant treatment, which requires me to track:  
- Daily blood pressure  
- Blood sugar levels  
- Body weight  
- Urine output  

 

Right now, I write all of this down on paper. But with this program, I could easily enter the data from my smartphone or PC and instantly save it to the cloud. If I could make this program available at an affordable price, it could be a valuable tool for many people.  

 

Wouldn’t a system like this be useful? I would love to hear your thoughts!

 

Yesterday, I stayed at home all day without going outside. Or rather, since I can't go out much, I naturally spend most of my time at home. I spend a lot of time working on the computer, so my eyes get quite tired.

 

The meals yesterday were delicious. I wasn’t very hungry at lunchtime, so I had a light combination of cabbage salad and rice. Later in the afternoon, I started feeling a bit hungry, so I snacked on a protein bar and other small things.

 

The pain from my wound has started to ease a little, and my sleep time at night is gradually getting longer. Although I still wake up multiple times, I can now sleep for about two hours at a time, which is an improvement. I hope things continue to return to normal.

 

I've been conscious about it for a while, but since the surgery, I've been making an effort to drink plenty of water. Because of that, I inevitably end up going to the restroom more frequently.

What is the Role of a Manager?

When working on a project as an employee, your primary responsibility is to complete your tasks, communicate progress, and occasionally suggest small improvements. You report to the manager, keeping them informed about how things are going.

 

However, the role of a manager is different from that of the employees working on the project. As a manager, your job is not only to oversee progress and ensure smooth operations but also to identify ways to improve efficiency. Team members may provide suggestions to make tasks easier, faster, or more effective. Your responsibility is to evaluate these suggestions and determine their feasibility.

 

If a proposed improvement is practical and beneficial, it is your duty to communicate it to upper management, advocating for its implementation. Ultimately, a manager's role is to optimize processes and drive improvements that benefit both the company and its customers.

Today, I had no hospital appointments and no plans to go out, so I decided to take a short walk around my neighborhood. Initially, I only intended to walk about 500 steps, but I ended up getting carried away and, before I knew it, I had walked 2,000 steps. As a result, the scar from my surgery started to ache a little.

 

My doctor advised me to walk one mile (about 1.6 kilometers) per day, but since my stride has become shorter, even after walking 2,500 steps, I still don't reach a full mile.

 

As I walked, I noticed new buds sprouting on the trees in the gardens of the houses around me. It made me realize that spring is near. However, since it was still quite cold, I wore a long coat with a hood to keep warm.

 

I'm really happy that I'm able to walk this much again, but I can feel that my muscles have weakened significantly over the past month. Regaining my strength will be a challenge, but I’ll take it one step at a time.

I had a kidney transplant on February 1st, and today is March 1st. Even though February is shorter than other months, the past month has flown by.

 

To make it easier to work from home, I’ve been converting part of my bedroom into a home office. Amidst this, the Brother document scanner I purchased two days ago arrived. I spent the morning setting it up, but it didn’t go well. There weren’t many detailed setup videos on YouTube, and the manual was difficult to understand—with text that was far too small to read. In the end, I decided to return it. Since I bought it on Amazon, the return process was relatively easy, and the designated return location was a nearby Amazon Fresh.

 

For the past month, I hadn’t driven at all, but today, for the first time, I drove myself to Amazon Fresh to return the item. Of course, I hadn’t forgotten how to drive, and everything felt natural. The entire round trip took less than 30 minutes, and I also stopped by the pharmacy to pick up my prescription.

 

My first solo outing—it felt really good.

Second Checkup This Week

 

First, I went to the lab for a blood test and a urine test. After that, I had an appointment with a nurse at 9 AM. Since some of my medications were changed, they decided to do a kidney ultrasound for further evaluation. However, the ultrasound was scheduled for 1 PM, so even though my morning appointment ended at 10 AM, I spent the waiting time at the hospital cafeteria, having breakfast.

 

At 1 PM, I was called in for the ultrasound, which ended up taking a whole hour. I'm not sure if the technician was just slow or if it was supposed to take that long, but it felt like the same thing was being done over and over again. Just when I thought it was finally over, they asked me to go pee, and after that, they took another ultrasound of my bladder. By the time everything was finished, it was already 2:15 PM. It was a long session.
