Something’s Brewing…
And I’m excited…
And I’m excited…
It seems like every famous person has some how codified the rules by which they live their life. In the next couple of days i’m going to start writing again, and i’ll attempt to do the same for me. I’ll probably take one post of laying them all out, and then following them up with more elaborate explanations of each.
And i’m giving up soda and a crappy diet.
I guess the person best fit for ‘management’ in the utopian sense is technically proficient and altruistic towards the business/customer for which he works.
I have a lot of ideas that people tell me are terrible, but I like them so I’ve decided to share twohere.
1. Pizza Hut is missing out on an amazing opportunity. Currently they pay drivers to make small, local trips. rarely a high way in use. What other market has people making local drives, and fear of highways? New Drivers. Pizza hut driving school would allow for cheap labor (free) while providing a useful service to the rest of the community. I like the idea of the pizza guy giving my pizza and being so happy he made it here alive he cannot complain about the minuscule tip i am about to give him. Let’s make this work, people.
2. This one has legs. And more importantly, blatant and vicious honesty. It’s essentially a phone bank where people can call in and leave a message and a number for the operators to call. We then call that number and give them the message. Sure it could be used as a go-between for drug deals and other scams, but it can also b used to say things that people are afraid to say. With the advent of the internet, people everywhere have become used to passive communication. No longer can one tell a friend he has bad breath or body odor. Or even break up with a person without a text message. This way, people can have an intermediary give the bad news and remain completely anonymous.
Yes this could beĀ used against certain people, if someone calls in for you and tells the operator to confess to cheating on a wife, for example, that would suck. But i’m thinking of the money making possibilities. Make these people call in and listen to advertisements before getting the news. Have it tailored to their issue… can’t last in bed? How about viagra or some numbing lotion. Bad breath? Listerine would love this target demographic.
Like I said, this idea has legs… I say we run with it.
The Cult of Done Manifesto
1. There are three states of being. Not knowing, action and completion.
2. Accept that everything is a draft. It helps to get it done.
3. There is no editing stage.
4. 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.
5. Banish procrastination. If you wait more than a week to get an idea done, abandon it.
6. The point of being done is not to finish but to get other things done.
7. Once you’re done you can throw it away.
8. Laugh at perfection. It’s boring and keeps you from being done.
9. People without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right.
10. Failure counts as done. So do mistakes.
11. Destruction is a variant of done.
12. If you have an idea and publish it on the internet, that counts as a ghost of done.
13. Done is the engine of more
