The “Cult of Done Manifesto” is a work by Bre Pettis and Kio Stark. It was created in 20 minutes, according to Pettis, because they were “bored with not being done with things.” It was first published on Bre Pettis’ blog in 2009.
The manifesto has 13 bullet points that express a philosophy of embracing imperfection, accepting that mistakes will happen, and prioritizing the act of creation and completion over perfection or endless planning. Here are key points:
The Manifesto embodies a spirit of productivity, quick execution, and the freedom to make mistakes. It has been influential in the maker culture and startup scene, where rapid iteration and learning from failures are often emphasized.
Please note that while the “Cult of Done Manifesto” encourages swift action and completion, it’s also important to balance this approach with careful planning and quality control, depending on the context and the potential impact of the work.
