Last night, while casually scrolling through YouTube in search of some engaging content to accompany my dinner 🍽️, I stumbled upon something truly intriguing - "The Cult of Done." As someone who alternates between gaming, cooking, and self-improvement videos, this discovery felt like a stroke of luck!
"The Cult of Done" is well, not really a cult; it's more like a collection of commandments written by @Bre Pettis and
in 2009. As an advocate of getting things done, this "cult" really resonated with me, and I couldn't resist sharing it here. Who knows, it might just give that extra boost to some of your stalled life projects! 😉
Here are the core principles of "The Cult of Done" that I found particularly inspiring:
1. Three States of Being: Not Started - In Progress - Done:
- Emphasizing the significance of completing tasks rather than leaving them half-finished. 🏁
2. Accept That Everything Is a Draft:
- Acknowledge that perfection is elusive; it's better to have a completed project than an incomplete masterpiece. 🎨
3. No Editing Stage:
- Avoid overthinking or endlessly revising. Finish the task, then assess and improve if necessary. ✏️
4. Fake it until you make it:
- Pretend to know what you're doing, even if you don't, and take action. Confidence can lead to learning and growth. 💪
5. Ban Procrastination,#JustDoIt:
- Act now; don't fall into the trap of endless delay. 🚫⏰
6. The Point of Being Done Is to Move On:
- Completing one task sets the stage for the next. "Done" is a starting point, not an endpoint. 🚀
7. Let Go of the Past:
- Don't cling to past work; embrace new challenges and opportunities. 🌟
8. Laugh at Perfection: - #Perfectionism can halt progress. Embrace imperfections as opportunities to learn and grow. 😄
9. Action wins over Theory:
- Doing is more valuable than merely knowing. Dive in, get your hands dirty, and learn as you go. 🤲
- Failure Counts as Progress:
- Failure is part of the learning journey, bringing you closer to success with each attempt. 📈
11. Sharing Ideas Matters:
- Sharing your ideas and unfinished work can lead to collaboration and feedback, propelling you toward completion. 🤝
12. Digital Presence is Real Presence:
- In the digital age, sharing your work online makes it tangible and accessible to a wider audience. 🌐
- #Creativity Knows No Schedule:
- Great ideas don't follow strict timelines. Be ready to seize creative moments whenever they appear. 🌠
