 I've decided to keep a running list of things I want to come back to. Right now this is primarily going to contain [articles](../../lists/articles/index.qmd), [books](../../lists/books/index.qmd), and [videos](../../lists/videos/index.qmd) broken down by whether they apply more to my work or personal lives.
 
 ### Why am I doing this?

 “All I want to do is make better sushi … I do the same thing over and over improving bit by bit. There is always a yearning to achieve more … I don’t think I’ve achieved perfection. But I feel ecstatic all day. I love making sushi. That’s the spirit of the Shokunin”

 I first came across the term ’shokunin’ while watching [Midnight Asia](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiq9Y6Jy_aDAxUeCTQIHfvLCssQFnoECFMQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.netflix.com%2Ftitle%2F81134160&usg=AOvVaw32hLs-4IhkC_KP3jTbcrgG&opi=89978449) — a Netflix docuseries about the nightlife of six east asian cities. In the Tokyo episode, we meet Rogerio, co-founder of one of Asia’s 50 best bars, who shares a profound insight: “To master your craft, you need to master yourself. In Japan there is a strong culture of shokunin … a person that is always pursuing to better his craft”.
 
 Shokunin describes an orientation to work that emphasizes dedication to craft through exceptional technical skill and an unwavering quest for mastery. Jiro Ono, the star of 'Jiro Dreams of Sushi' and already a sushi master by every conventional standard, stands out and continues to passionately refine his craft because his aspiration is excellence itself.

 In a [previous post](../about_lists/index.qmd) I discussed keeping running lists of resources I want to come back to. In addition to these, I've decided to also keep a list of [future ideas](../../lists/ideas/index.qmd) for shokunin. Although I initially balked at the idea of posting my unfinished plans, I really do want shokunin to be a "place" where I can cultivate, refine, and share my interconnected thoughts and ideas.[^1] While I think I can cultivate and share my musings already, I think showing the process of refining an initial idea can only be done by showing different ideas at different stages of development. Additionally, I think keeping a list of future ideas can also act as an easy commitment device[^2].
