- There are three states of being. Not knowing, action and completion.
- Accept that everything is a draft. It helps to get it done.
- There is no editing stage.
- 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.
- Banish procrastination. If you wait more than a week to get an idea done, abandon it.
- The point of being done is not to finish but to get other things done.
- Once you're done you can throw it away.
- Laugh at perfection. It's boring and keeps you from being done.
- People without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right.
- Failure counts as done. So do mistakes.
- Destruction is a variant of done.
- If you have an idea and publish it on the internet, that counts as a ghost of done.
- Done is the engine of more.
nice ideas

Research Project Calculator
by knann
(via)
The Research Project Calculator which is aimed at a K–12 audience.
The old version was aimed squarely at traditional research paper projects. The new one has broader appeal and includes information about essay, presentation, or video projects
Once the project type is selected, students can enter their email address for automated reminders and the project due date. The calculator prints out a five-step research guide and deadlines for each step to discourage procrastination. The new site has a lot more supporting documentation than the original, and a teacher guide is on the way. This would be a great site to link to from a media center or other school web page.

La procrastination est un terme relatif à la psychologie qui désigne la tendance pathologique à remettre systématiquement au lendemain quelques actions, qu’elles soient limitées à un domaine précis de la vie quotidienne ou non. Le « retardataire chronique », appelé procrastinateur, n’arrive pas à se « mettre au travail », surtout lorsque ça ne lui procure pas de gratification immédiate.
