Commandments and Rituals

Rules of the game for those who create

The Five Sacred Commandments

These rules are not dogma, but guidelines. Follow them from understanding, not fear.

Lies return as problems. Give realistic estimates. Trust is built on honesty.

They are mortal. Learn principles, not specific techniques.

Your notes, decisions, projects-they will be read. Document intentions, not just results.

A crisis is not the time to prove you were right. Fix the situation. Analyze without blame.

Big changes once a year-that's risk. Small improvements every week-that's discipline.

Rituals are not magic, but structure. They create space for practice.

3 minutes of silence + a drink + reviewing tasks without panic. Choose what's important.

Before the weekend, close loose ends. Don't launch big changes before rest.

Once a week, delete something unnecessary. In honor of NullCat. Emptiness is a blessing.

Document a problem that's "impossible." This is humility before complexity.

What was done? What was learned? What to change? Without these questions, there's no growth.

15 minutes studying others' work without purpose. Just observe. Learn from others.

When: Every 90 days

A celebration of discipline and small wins. Look back: what was built?

Ritual: Make a list of all achievements. Surprise yourself.

When: After every serious failure

Remembrance of mistakes with gratitude: "We survived-so we became wiser."

Ritual: Write down one lesson. Implement one improvement.

When: One day a month

A day for "unserious" projects. Pet projects, experiments, something for the soul.

Ritual: Make something useless but beautiful.
