Write Manifestos: Key Points

Write a manifesto for any long-term project or endeavor where you might start to doubt yourself when the going gets tough. A manifesto is a written document — like a business plan — that outlines the core principles behind your decision to start the project. A manifesto addresses the following points:

  • List of principles by which you will develop the project
  • List of the reasons why you're doing it
  • List of the things you do not want
  • List of specific things you want to accomplish in this
  • Backup — Easy to backup your most important work.
  • Points of consolation — what do you want to tell yourself when you're struggling and about to give up?
  • List of the biggest challenges — what is most likely to derail the project?

Examples of endeavors that you'd want to write a manifesto for:

  • Moving to another city
  • Getting a new job
  • Starting a business
  • Getting married
  • Starting a diet
  • Quitting alcohol or drugs
  • Starting a new hobby like piano
  • Writing a book
