Kwartzlab Understanding of the Principles of Do-ocracy

By

At Kwartzlab we first encountered the ideas of do-ocracy from Seth Hardy, one of the founders of HackTO who talked about the idea of do-ocracy used by the Burning Man community.

While there are many different codifications of this idea, these below represent a distillation of how we as a group keep moving forward.

First Principles:

  1. Less talking and more doing

  2. A thing done is better than something undone

  3. No criticism of done things — move forward

  4. When in doubt: Git ‘R’ Done!

Observations:

  1. “Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good” Voltaire.

  2. Your passion is your power.

Process is important for work that requires it. Do-ocracy is not anarchy or the acceptance of errors or failures because it is done first.
