Done Manifesto



        As the project deadline approaches, the Done Manifesto is increasingly a useful set of ideas. Much of the remaining work will carry a risk of perfectionism and the concept of finishing the project without worrying about making it perfect could be very valuable. Accepting that everything is a draft could especially benefit the project because as various pieces come together at different stages of polish or functionality, it can be a struggle not to go back and try to fix things rather than moving forward to the pieces that really need to be completed. Getting comfortable with the project as a draft could result in a final product that is more even and of higher quality that if the pieces that are implemented earlier are highly polished and developed as far as possible, while later parts are unfinished or hastily put together at the last minute. Other ideas, like banishing procrastination by giving up on ideas that you wait more than a week to get done, are also highly applicable to the project, which has suffered from a buildup of ideas that are not necessarily achievable in the remaining time frame. Overall, the Done Manifesto could help get my project done, and could improve the quality of the final product.
