Designing For The Adoption Curve

A great graphic on the adoption of new technologies by Peter Mortensen and Joyce Chen.  A bit hard to read, so here’s the basics:

  1. ENDORSE
    Product is being used by Innovators
  2. CURATE
    Product has reached Early Adopters
  3. INTEGRATE
    Product has reached Early Majority
  4. ECONOMIZE
    Product has reached Late Majority
  5. PLAY
    Product has reached Laggards
  6. REFRESH
    Find New Markets

Done Manifesto

A great poster version (by James Provost) of the Done Manifesto (by Bre Petis and Kio Stark).

A little difficult to read in the image, so:

  1. There are three states of being. Not knowing, action and completion.
  2. Accept that everything is a draft. It helps to get it done.
  3. There is no editing stage.
  4. 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.
  5. Banish procrastination. If you wait more than a week to get an idea done, abandon it.
  6. The point of being done is not to finish but to get other things done.
  7. Once you’re done you can throw it away.
  8. Laugh at perfection. It’s boring and keeps you from being done.
  9. People without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right.
  10. Failure counts as done. So do mistakes.
  11. Destruction is a variant of done.
  12. If you have an idea and publish it on the internet, that counts as a ghost of done.
  13. Done is the engine of more.
