You crawl out of bed, make a coffee while checking email. You respond to your boss while drinking the coffee. You then spend the tube journey replying to emails and fixing something that is urgent. You get to work, are in and out of Zoom meetings all day, you get lunch at 3pm. By the evening, you\u2019ve left it too late to exercise, so you head home, make a quick dinner that you eat with Netflix, and then scroll Instagram until you need to go to sleep. Alarm set. Do it all again. Ad infinitum.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This disembodied sequence is a familiar story for many people. A review for a popular meditation course (I\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/shows.acast.com\/out-of-hours-the-podcast\/episodes\/palouse-mindfulness-building-a-meditation-course-with-dave-p\" rel=\"\">interviewed<\/a>\u00a0the creator of it Dave Potter a while back) started:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;I felt lost \u2013 desperate even \u2013 to feel connected and present in my everyday life. I felt like I was watching my life drift past me; like I was watching a movie of my life and not really participating in it&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This sums up how many people feel &#8211; a crammed day, with barely a moment to think, let alone feel. Busyness becomes the badge of honour, and busyness also becomes the opioid &#8211; addictive and numbing.<\/p>\n<p>I was intrigued, therefore, when I discovered the Japanese word \u2018Yutori\u2019 &#8211; the word for \u2018mental spaciousness\u2019 &#8211; an antidote to this time-impoverished routine.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header-anchor-post\">Yutori, and the art of mental spaciousness<\/h3>\n<p>\u2018Yutori\u2019 is today seen as a concept of \u2018mental spaciousness\u2019, literally meaning \u2018leeway\u2019. It alludes to that feeling of having \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fmkI2zbrRWc\" rel=\"\">space in our life<\/a>\u2019, a feeling of time spaciousness, not being in a rush. You might feel it when spending time in nature, arriving at the airport with time to spare, having a Sunday afternoon with no obligations, leaving your phone in the other room as you read before bed. It allows space, so we can expand our energy. As Japanese culture expert<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fmkI2zbrRWc\" rel=\"\">\u00a0Azumi Uchitani<\/a>\u00a0describes it, it is a not just time spaciousness \u201c<em>but also money and finance as well\u2026 some extra capacity in life.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/em><br \/>\nYutori relates to both physical and mental space. You can have a sense of expansion &#8211; just from cleaning up the clutter in your flat, or having a little money left over at the end of the month. And with more Yutori, explains Uchitani, comes more peace and creativity.<\/p>\n<p>The Japanese have a gift for coming up with words for previously undefined concepts. Y\u016bgen, for example, means \u2018beauty only partially perceived\u2014fully felt but barely glimpsed by the viewer\u2019 &#8211; a mysterious profundity that, when we\u2019re lucky, we experience in everyday life. It feels to me that Yutori is similarly metaphysical in nature &#8211; describing that mental state where we have a sort of peripheral, soft awareness of the whole picture instead of intense focus on a single point or object (sort of like what we try to do in meditation &#8211; soften the focus to allow the distance between our thoughts, to allow us to not identify so heavily with them).<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header-anchor-post\">Yutori and the value of mental spaciousness for ideas<\/h3>\n<div class=\"pencraft pc-display-flex pc-alignItems-center pc-position-absolute pc-reset header-anchor-parent\">\n<div class=\"pencraft pc-display-contents pc-reset pubTheme-yiXxQA\">\n<div id=\"\u00a7yutori-and-the-value-of-mental-spaciousness-for-ideas\" class=\"pencraft pc-reset header-anchor offset-top\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>I previously wrote about the value of what I call \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/outofhours.substack.com\/p\/why-you-need-more-inefficient-curiosity\" rel=\"\">inefficient curiosity<\/a>\u2019. I hadn\u2019t discovered the word yutori then, but I suppose in some ways that was what I was describing &#8211; a freedom to roam so we can come up with original thought. When we are able to have space we can discover things that we can\u2019t do when we are hyperfocused.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve probably had that experience when you come up with a brilliant idea on a run, or in a shower, or have a fresh perspective on a situation when you\u2019re on holiday. It\u2019s like when people say you only find your keys when you\u2019re not looking for them. History is littered with moments like this &#8211; slack moments in time revealing huge breakthroughts. The famous tale of Archimedes, who shrieked \u201cEureka!\u201d, while taking a bath in a tub when he made his remarkable discovery of buoyancy (now known as the Archimedes Principle). Isaac Newton, sitting idly under a tree only to be hit by an apple, making the connection and discovering gravity. Neither Newton or Archimedes discovered their ideas in a lab.<\/p>\n<p>This is not to say we should only be taking space. We need hard work too. In the brilliant book,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Technique-Producing-Advertising-Classics-McGraw-Hill\/dp\/0071410945\/ref=asc_df_0071410945\/?tag=googshopuk-21&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=696285193871&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=15576127160721473540&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9045999&amp;hvtargid=pla-2281435176698&amp;psc=1&amp;mcid=260fda69e782309980ff7333f97c564b&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1&amp;hvocijid=15576127160721473540-0071410945-&amp;hvexpln=74&amp;gad_source=1\" rel=\"\">A Technique for Producing Ideas<\/a>, Bernbach argues that coming up with a good idea requires at least two key phases: a research phase, a phase of intense input where you take in as much information as possible about a topic, and then a phase where we think about something completely different and allow the neurons to make the connections. We need time and space to come up with creative ideas, as well as industry and hard work.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header-anchor-post\">Integrating Yutori<\/h3>\n<p>When researching, I soon found the origin of Yutori has a much more complex, and ambivalent, history than this explanation allows. It orginates from the Yutori Education policies in Japan in the 1990s and early 2000s, which encouraged a laxness and creativity of teaching. This Yutori education &#8211; creating what is sometimes called the \u2018Yutori Generation\u2019 &#8211; was a response to the post-war mechanical learning techniques of memorisation, techniques that were feared to reduce creativity and independence of thought. Introducing these policies of reduced hours and curriculum to kids &#8211; it was argued &#8211; did not go well, largely due to their implementation and teaching. I\u2019ll write more on this here soon, and how to not become \u2018overly focused on yutori\u2019 but today, as so many of us today have so little yutori in our life, let\u2019s start by looking at the ideals of yutori outside of the education system, and how you might apply it today.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Take time off.<\/strong>\u00a0Explore. Be in nature. Know that this is adding to your potential to build and create amazing things in the world &#8211; not distracting from it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dedicate some space every week to wonder, and wander.\u00a0<\/strong>Even if it\u2019s a walk to a coffee shop, leaving your phone down one evening. Give your brain time off to process everything you\u2019ve done.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tidy up your workspace<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Cut your personal to-do and to-buy list.\u00a0<\/strong>Each thing you do has an invisible network of new actions come out of it. E.g. if you\u2019re buying a blender, you need to research it, get it delivered, return it if it\u2019s faulty.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>See what you can reduce here, mental overwhelm often comes from overextending ourselves.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Meditate<\/strong>. Honestly. Meditation is one of the best ways to create mental distance, to give you space in the day between the obligations. It\u2019s a way to reduce stress and improve focus, to stop distracting yourself with your phone in every moment of stillness, and become more mentally expansive.<\/li>\n<li><strong>SLOW DOWN<\/strong>\u00a0Yutori is about having enough time and peace of mind to enjoy life without being constantly under pressure.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Modern life and time hunger Your alarm goes off.
