While I liked some elements, I\u00c2\u00a0 didn&#8217;t like others (#5 in particular &#8211; I usually can&#8217;t even source parts for a project in a week, let alone finish&#8230;). It did get me thinking, though. So I came up with my own.<\/p>\n<p>My own, simple, manifesto for the month of March:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No new projects. Finish all the ones I&#8217;ve started. Then I can move on to the next ones when these are Done.<\/li>\n<li>No buying parts for unstarted projects. Only those needed to finish ones that are started(*).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got something like six or eight different circuits in various states of construction or debugging. Time to get that number down. Zero would be preferable, but I&#8217;ll see where I end up at the end of the month&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The sad thing is, about ten minutes after I declared this to myself, I came up with some more awesome ideas. But they now have to wait. No sooner than April, or maybe even May (I&#8217;ve got <a href=\"http:\/\/demoparty.us\">Blockparty<\/a> to think about too!) Instead, these new ideas are just getting written down in my &#8220;Electronic Project List&#8221; in Google Docs. When I&#8217;m ready to take on a new project, they&#8217;ll be there, waiting for me.<\/p>\n<h6>(*) I will declare a small exemption to this &#8211; If I order parts from some place where shipping is a total PITA and I&#8217;ll be waiting 2+weeks anyway (i.e. Futurlec), I may batch up some other things. I do not currently anticipate having to do this, though.<\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I read Bre Pettis and Kio Stark&#8217;s Manifesto of the Cult of Done earlier today.
