Hello there, I looked through the threads but didn't see anything similar, so I started this one! Feel free to delete if its irrelevant (thank you mods, im still super new) I was wondering if there are any work tasks you do on a daily basis. For me, I check my city's tourism website every morning to see if there are any new posts to translate. Or otherwise I have my list of tasks I can do at any time, like write articles for the next 広報, for my blog, or for AJET Connect. I have a mix of official work dailies and the things I just end up doing in free time, like lurking here.  Another hulemdo of mine is the Pocket app, where I just save all the news articles, links, etc to it and read them on a web browser at work. Sometimes it gets me thinking for a future project, so its not all simply killing time- |

Work-wise I will check our FB page to see if there are any posts I need to translate. Otherwise just keeping up with my calendar to see any upcoming events or if there is anything I need to make to use at the kindergarten (I teach at a 幼稚園 50% of the time) like flashcards or games.
As for 暇つぶし I like to check the news, study, update my blog (please sharing yours!), hang around on CIRHP, etc

When I was a CIR, I don't think I had any tasks I necessarily had to do every day (beyond checking my email), but when I did not have any active assignments but needed something to do with my time, I would re-read old files from previous CIRs (especially 相談 notes) to try and research what stuff might be coming up/what stuff had been done previously/what things I should know, and would prepare files with notes. I studied job-specific Japanese words, read my prefecture website, planned out English courses, drafted event ideas, etc.

Thanks for the insights-!
This isn't exactly a daily, but every time the C.LAIR magazine comes in I get to send the extra copies to other departments in city hall. Marking all the envelopes and adding sticky notes to relevant articles may be a bit of grunt-work but I enjoy the little break to do stuff by hand it gives me every month.
Another daily is checking the online keijiban for announcements of things that affect my department. I get to register the announcements in a document manager software, print the docs out for kairan (cry), and put stamps on them. The stamps really make me feel like I'm in the previous century.
Also! Our morning meeting is fun because we have little Chinese and English lessons tacked on to the end of them. On Fridays we read a page of rules that apply to public employees along with everything else.

youre all so majime wow
ill be more proactive once im at my new office...i hope. i dont have any motivation to study job specific japanese or plan anything because im not allowed to plan anything or do anything on my own ^^;; im here to be seen and not heard
dailies include checking the website and facebook page for a post that one of my jyoushi randomly uploaded without telling me. +email for understanding whats going on at the office because we dont have meetings, ever. if you dont read emails you have no clue about anything at all (and even if you DO read, you have very little clue whats going on)
i also check our google and trip advisor pages for COOCHIE KOMI so that i may respond to reviews and log them into our data.
i wish i had a pred or anything to go off of...in my off time i just go on here, plan events or parties that just have to do with my personal life, and study for the GRE.
im very boring sorry

Yeah, the morning meetings help as a place for everyone to say what they're focusing on for the day (or you know, before they get sidetracked by other stuff coming in) Whenever I want to propose stuff I just mention it during this time, and try to see what time is good to have a meeting over it. Or when I need a coworker's help with a project I mention it during the morning meeting. Another non-work daily I do is go on Read the Kanji and just pretend like I'm writing up a document when I'm just studying Jp. Going through Sister Cities International documents is another, since we're looking to start a sister city with an EIGOKEN country. |

I have certain tasks that need done on a monthly or weekly basis, less so than daily
I'm head 担当 and sub担当 for two different committies that each meet once a month.
I have to schedule the meetings in our work calendar system (for me and whoever is the head/sub of that particular committee), follow up on any 事務局tasks that were assigned during the meeting, and for the committee where I'm the head I have to type up the meeting notes and get them 決裁'd before passing on to the other committee members.
The city's 広報誌 comes out twice a month, so I pull out important info from those and get them translated (I also arrange for our other part time translators to do them in their respective languages).
Then, we have a guy from the local radio who comes once a month to record news snippets we all read from the translated 広報誌 information.
For non-work daily things, I've been trying to figure out how to edit Wikipedia articles/create new EN pages for existing JP ones, but that's proving to be way harder than expexcted. I also work on translating the articles while I'm in the process of figuring out how to edit stuff/get approved on Wiki.
I'm also working on some EN guides for procedures/paperwork related stuff that I think will be useful for foreign residents in my Pref.
