"I felt happier and more accomplished by using this! I always feel like I’m not doing enough, but when I put all my tasks in the system, I realized I’ve been doing quite a lot and am still capable of doing more things that I actually love! "

"I need to change my life."

You've been here before. That sudden burst of clarity.

Every failed system chips away at your self-trust.

Start strong → Miss a few days → Feel guilty → Lost confidence → Desperate for change

That voice gets louder: "Why try? You'll just quit again."

But here's what nobody tells you...

The systems you’ve been trying to use over and over are simply not made for you.

The systems you’ve been trying to use over and over are simply not made for you.

The systems you’ve been trying to use over and over are simply not made for you.

The productivity methods you've been trying assume you'll:

  • Stay motivated indefinitely

  • Never procrastinate

  • Remember to check 15 different pages daily

  • Stick with complex workflows without fail

  • ……

They're built for ideal conditions. But that's not reality.

These one-size-fits-all solutions don't recognize that our brains work differently - especially if you have ADHD, depression, or just struggle with consistency like most humans do.

Which ultimately just leads to a cycle of busyness without ever actually focusing on the things that matter.

Many people believe if they try harder or want it enough, they can overcome these challenges.

But It's not about willpower. It's about having the right system.

What’s Kaizen and Who am I?

What’s Kaizen and Who am I?

What’s Kaizen and Who am I?

Hi, I'm Ruri Ohama!

I built Kaizen because I was the person who quit everything after 3 days.

Depression, ADHD, and countless failed attempts at "fixing" myself - every productivity system made me feel more broken.

They demanded perfection I couldn't give.

Kaizen (改善) is a Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement through tiny, sustainable steps - the same approach Toyota used to become the world's most efficient manufacturer.

I adapted this for personal productivity:

  • Instead of "wake up at 5am" → "wake up 5 minutes earlier”

  • Instead of "never procrastinate" → "one important task first"

This 1% daily improvement approach helped me grow my YouTube channel to 1.4M subscribers, learn 4 languages, and build a business that let me retire my parents. But more importantly, it rebuilt my self-trust.

Every time you quit another system, you trust yourself less. Kaizen breaks that cycle. When your system adapts to you instead of demanding you change, you finally start keeping promises to yourself.

"The weekly reviews in the Kaizen System have been a game-changer. I'm more focused, mindful, and accomplishing more than I ever have before."

Vincent Martinez, Kaizen user

The Kaizen difference

Focus on what matters with 3 daily practices

Begin with Simple Mode—just three daily practices that take 5 minutes. First, do a brain dump to empty all mental clutter and get everything out of your head. Then choose your daily highlight—the one task that will make today successful and bring fulfillment instead of just busyness. Finally, pick a micro-commitment—a 2-minute action toward building an important habit. Just show up and do these three things. That's enough to start building momentum.

Weekly Insights That Actually Help

Every week, Kaizen shows you exactly where your time went and if you're making progress. See task breakdowns by urgency level (Must/Should/Could Do) and track your highlight and micro-commitment completions week-over-week. Get friendly nudges like "Great job! 6/7 highlights this week!" or "Heads up - 80% of your time went to urgent tasks. Maybe block some time for those important projects?" Kaizen helps you stop delaying doing the things that actually matters to you.

"I only have 1-2 hours a day to work, but in the past 6 weeks I've made 9 YouTube videos using the Kaizen System. I'm loving this template and how it actually gets me to show up and do the work, rather than just stressing out about all the projects I have to do."
