5 Productivity Lessons My Thyroid Taught Me

March 24, 2012 – 1:50 pm

My Thyroid — actually the subsequent Thyroidectomy I had in October 2010 — has been perhaps the most prolific productivity teacher in my life thus far. The farther I get away from the surgery the more I’ve come to realize the productivity lessons from the whole thing.

I had to bring many things to a cold hard stop and then turn things back on in my life switch by switch like bringing up a server farm or a data center. Ultimately, I am realizing the benefits and seeing how it has been a catalyst for positive change.

Migrating willkelly.com to Google Apps (Finally!)

September 26, 2010 – 10:46 am

Migrating willkelly.com to Google Apps has been one of those personal web projects that has been hanging out on my task list for sometime now. Last weekend, I finally made the move to Google Apps for my email. I was no longer happy with my ISP’s email especially after getting my iPhone 3Gs.

I’ve written previously about Google Apps on this blog plus for Projects@Work and WebWorkerDaily using a Google Apps account I setup back in the early days of its availability.
