I’m into personal development.
But not for its own sake.
I’m into improvement.
But not into the dogma of our age.
I’ve failed and succeeded spectacularly in my 32 years. And the best I know didn’t come from Fraudster Robert Kiyosaki. That’s why I wrote my book. Now? I’ve made a poll. Some of the most in sync posts are up.
My Favorite: Bre Petis and the Cult of Done
- 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’re doing is almost the same as knowing what you are doing, so just accept that you know what you’re 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’re done you can throw it away.
- Laugh at perfection. It’s boring and 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.
I said a lot of these things in F#@% procrastination, F#@% Perfection and F#@% Indecision. But he said it in 13 sentences. So good job, Bre. This is the first thing I’ve read and I might hafta carve out a spot for you on my “Board” of Directors.
