The Cult of Done: A good piece of content found from the book ‘Linchpin, Are you Indispensable?’ by Seth Godin.
Bre Pettis wrote this manifesto on his blog:
- There are three states of being. Not knowing, action and completion
- Accept that everything is a draft. It helps to get it done.
- There is no editing stage.
- Pretending you know what you are doing is almost the same as knowing what you are doing, so accept that you know what you are doing even if you don’t and do it.
- Banish procrastination. If you wait more than a week to get an idea done, abandon it.
- The point of being done is not to finish but to get other things done.
- Once you are done you can throw it away.
- Laugh at perfection. Its boring a keeps you from being done.
- People without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right
- Failure counts as done. So do mistakes.
- Destruction is a variant of done.
- If you have an idea and publish it on the internet. that counts as a ghost of done.
- Done is the engine of more.
