Banish Procrastination...the Cult of Done
Manifesto
Procrastination a familiar term...everyone
recognizes it - putting off things that need to
be done. I used to explain how I worked better
under pressure, saying I couldnt do my best work
until the very last minute. The explanation
seemed to be a honorable excuse for staying up
all hours of the night to complete a paper, a
project, etc.

The truth is I was a procrastinator . . .
avoiding the responsibility and tasks required,
but trying to dress it up nicely by calling it
working under pressure. It was procrastination,
plain and simple, not a noble creative spurt that
only came at the wee hours of the morning.

Procrastination is wiped away when you take
action and move forward to complete something,
even if its not absolutely perfect or right.
Ask any writer, musician, or artist if they are
satisfied with their finished piece and they will
tell you they always see something else they want
to change in the work.

When I read the Cult of Done Manifesto, created
by Bre Pettis and Kio Stark, I realized how my
procrastination was the result of being paralyzed
by trying to get everything perfect before
declaring it final.

almost the same as knowing what you are doing, so
just accept that you know what youre doing even
if you dont and do it. 5. Banish
procrastination. If you wait more than a week to
get an idea done, abandon it.
