L’ère des tâches terminées, des boites pleines ou vides, des “fins” est révolue.
Plus rien n’est jamais fini, plus rien se sera “complété”.
Il y aura toujours une informations supplémentaire, une nouvelle étude, un cas, une variante à intégrer, pour “finir”.
Nous devons apprendre à terminer sans compléter.
Jalonner, incrémenter, itérer.
Et parfois, penser à s’arrêter, se retourner, être satisfait (ou pas), faire le point, et repartir, toujours.
Encore une vérité exprimée avec concision et clarté par Seth Godin.
Dancing on the edge of finished
“Before, when your shift was done, you were finished. When the inbox was empty, when the forms were processed, you could stop.
Now, of course, there’s always one more tweet to make, post to write, words with friends move to complete. There’s one more bit of email, one more lens you can construct, one more comment you can respond to. If you want to, you can be never finished.
And that’s the dance. Facing a sea of infinity, it’s easy to despair, sure that you will never reach dry land, never have the sense of accomplishment of saying, “I’m done.” At the same time, to be finished, done, complete—this is a bit like being dead. The silence and the feeling that maybe that’s all.
For the marketer, the freelancer and the entrepreneur, the challenge is to level set, to be comfortable with the undone, with the cycle of never-ending. We were trained to finish our homework, our peas and our chores. Today, we’re never finished, and that’s okay. It’s a dance, not an endless grind.

#BOOK - Rework
Je connaissais Rework de réputation (et aussi grace à sa couverture originale) mais n’avait pas encore pris la peine de lire ce livre. J’avais cependant fini par l’acheter en e-book. A l’occasion de l’achat de mon Kindle, il est réapparu sur le dessus de ma pile de livre à lire et je l’ai ouvert. Je ne pensais réellement pas le terminer aussi rapidement !
Ce livre se lit vite, ce livre se lit bien, ce livre se lisait, se lit et se lira tellement son contenu est intemporel. Ce livre se lit dans l’ordre ou pas. Les chapitres sont très synthétiques et sont regroupés par thématiques, traités avec pragmatisme, sincérité et clarté. Chaque sujet sent le vécu, sans pour autant tomber dans le cliché spécifique à une situation dans un contexte tellement précis que non transposable.
Ce livre traite de :
Ce livre a initialement été écrit pour :
Vous pouvez le lire si vous vous interrogez sur l’un de ces sujets (sauf “gagner” de l’argent en publiant un livre, quoi que !…). Si ce n’est pas déjà le cas, je le conseillerai également au sein de nombreux corpus scolaires.
Si vous n’êtes toujours pas convaincu de lire ce livre regardez ce teaser de 48 secondes
Et pour paraphraser Mr Seth GODIN “Ignore this book at your own peril”

Most people’s DNA simply doesn’t allow them an entrepreneur’s anticipation skills. They don’t see potential in the unknown, they see a threat to their comfort zone, so their knee-jerk reaction is to draw a deep line in the sand between themselves and anything new or unproven, especially when it comes to technology.

Not the easiest, but the quickest:
Don’t demand authority.
Eagerly take responsibility.
Relentlessly give credit.

“If it’s finished, the applause, the thanks, the gratitude are something else. Something extra and not part of what you created. To play a beautiful song for two people or a thousand is the same song, and the amount of thanks you receive isn’t part of that song.”

If you hire people just because they can do a job, they’ll work for your money. But if you hire people who believe what you believe, they’ll work for you with blood and sweat and tears.

One way to work the system is to work the system. The other way is to refuse to work it.

We’ll just have to make the best of it.
And not die of course.

1. Work on one thing at a time until finished.
2. Start no more new books, add no new material to Black Spring.
3. Don’t be nervous. Work calmly, joyously, recklessly on whatever is in hand.
4. Work according to Program and not according to mood. Stop at the appointed time!
5. When you can’t create you can work.
6. Cement a little every day, rather than add new fertilizers.
7. Keep human! See people, go places, drink if you feel like it.
8. Don’t be a draught-horse! Work with pleasure only.
9. Discard the Program when you feel like it—but go back to it the next day. Concentrate. Narrow down. Exclude.
10. Forget the books you want to write. Think only of the book you are writing.
11. Write first and always. Painting, music, friends, cinema, all these come afterwards.

Many people waste years of their life pointing fingers at other people for their own problems. No doubt there are some very unhealthy organizations and managers out there, but at the end of the day, playing the victim is a loser’s game.
