> Useless information from one mans journey.

- [Welcome to Bill's World!](https://billcraig.info/?p=1): Reading Time: 4 minutes Mostly useless information about one man’s life and work. I originally created Bill’s World (billcraig.info) in early 2009. I would add posts on a very irregular basis. The site was really just another tool to express what I was thinking about at the time. It was more for my benefit, than anyone else. Eleven years later, I figured it was time to dust it off and modernize the web site a little. Also over that time period I have completely changed my life and work focus. The last few years I slowed down a little and […]
- [A little direction from an unexpected source](https://billcraig.info/?p=437): Reading Time: 4 minutesI was listening to self-improvement/development guru Brendan Burchard’s Growth Day daily fire, like I do every day first thing in the morning. On March 3, 2024, he did one of those switches where he relies on a previous recording. When Brendan does this, it usually means it’s going to be a little lengthy, so for me, that’s usually another reason not to want to listen. As I usually do every day, I take notes when I listen to the Daily Fire by Brendan Burchard. I have been doing that now for almost two years. Since this day’s […]
- [Getting things done through Commitment-Based Nudging](https://billcraig.info/?p=601): Reading Time: 4 minutes I had the pleasure of meeting up for a two hour coffee with the CEO of a company that has build a commitment-based nudging platform that helps people address self-limiting behavior in both life and work. The platform they are currently marketing is a great example of how technology can support behavioral psychology. The more I discussed with the CEO and subsequent investigation/research I performed, I realized many of my entrepreneurial initiatives could make use of the approach and the platform. My initiatives around positive life, living and longevity; applying positive psychology techniques (interventions) to improve […]
- [The second half of life!](https://billcraig.info/?p=269): Reading Time: 4 minutesI like to think I’ve had a great life so far. I have done all the things expected of me from a personal life perspective and have had four very interesting career areas over my life from a working perspective. I have travelled for pleasure and work more than most people. All of that has contributed to my meaning of life expectations. For me the meaning of life is experiences, relationships, doing meaningful things and growth. I would add exploring and learning in my meaning of life as well. I think exploring and learning cuts across the […]
- [Character Strengths and Virtues](https://billcraig.info/?p=176): Reading Time: 4 minutesWe develop our inner “superhero” from a young age. For most of us we don’t even know we have super strengths.   In the book Character Strengths and Virtues: A Handbook and Classification by Christopher Peterson and Martin E. P. Seligman they identify several character strengths that are categorized under  six core moral virtues. These are the strengths that make each of us a “superhero”.  We just need to appreciate our strengths and use them to support our actions and our contributions to society and others.  I would like to think I have some of these all […]
- [Amusing Ourselves to Death](https://billcraig.info/?p=197): Reading Time: 4 minutesI prefer to say that we are procrastinating on life, filling in the limited time we have with spoonful’s of cheap low value so called “entertainment” that robs us of the real joys of life obtained through doing, playing, experiencing and participating in a world full of opportunities. If you think that sounds a little harsh – you’re right, it is harsh! It needs to be harsh to snap us out of the “zombie” like state we are in. Don’t get me wrong. I’m challenged every day! TV and un-focused internet browsing (“e-wandering”) is tempting and easy […]
- [Driven to Distraction at Work](https://billcraig.info/?p=184): Reading Time: 4 minutesI was reading the book driven to distraction at work, by Edward M. Hallowell this weekend.  As I read the introduction and the first chapter it felt like the author had written this book specifically about and for me.  His description of Attention Deficit Trait in the workplace described everything I was going through in work and other initiatives I’m focused on (or at least think I’m focused on).   The author lists symptoms of Attention Deficit Trait, then states if you answer yes to one or any of these symptoms and you answer yes to all of them, then […]
- [Shine bright – Be Conceptual](https://billcraig.info/?p=171): Reading Time: 4 minutesWell it’s been a few year’s since I read Daniel Pink’s  book – A Whole New Mind. I have never been one to read an entire book over the weekend – but this one I did!   I loved the book, and have purchased many copies for friends and recommended it to others.  Every gift book given or recommendation made led to nothing but wonderfully insightful feedback about the book and its ideas. About a week after reading the book I came up with the idea of initiating a community for people that may have similar interests in developing the […]
- [Bill’s Life and Living Directives](https://billcraig.info/?p=113): Reading Time: 4 minutesOver the years I have recorded short directives that I try to follow on a daily basis. Many of the directives are ones that I have come up with, others have come from sources that are long forgotten. During the next two months I will be expanding on these to explain where they came from, what they mean and how they can be used. As more come to mind over the coming years I’ll keep adding to them. The directives include: Be genuine Have influence and bring impact Do, live and be well Value others and provide […]
- [Focusing on the now](https://billcraig.info/?p=60): Reading Time: 4 minutesTime is our most precious commodity. Too much time focusing on the past or thinking about the future, reduces our time to contribute and live for today. I have tended to be someone who thinks little of the past, spends too much time planning for the future, and could do much more in the “now”. As I have gotten older I’ve started to appreciate that planning in both life and work is good, but can often be a great form of procrastination – always planning -but never really doing most of what gets planned. Another way to […]
- [Great Motivators for Exercise](https://billcraig.info/?p=46): Reading Time: 4 minutesWow – what a great motivation for exercise!   I found this image at http://nilofermerchant.tumblr.com.  The list is from Neila Rey. Over the last 5 years I have had the ability to increase the amount and frequency of exercise in my life.  I have thankfully experienced many of the benefits.  The last one on the list – improves Quality of Life is true!!   Stick a copy of this on your message board or fridge for that gentle reminder.

- [Time to Revisit Creeds & Manifestos](https://billcraig.info/?p=472): Reading Time: 4 minutesOn the old billcraig.info web site I had a collection of manifestos that I liked and collected over time. Unfortunately, the collection has been lost with time. What I called manifestos at the time were more often than not really creeds. My favorite back then and still now is the Holstee Manifesto. When I started doing what I call more meaningful work, I plotted a 42 x 80 inch version of the Holstee Manifesto and mounted it in the primary meeting area of my home. Whenever I had friends and colleagues over I would get them to […]

- [The Knowledge Utility](https://billcraig.info/?page_id=450): Reading Time: 4 minutesI have always been a knowledge management fanatic, big into personal knowledge management and in performing knowledge management assessment, strategy, architecture, design and implementation projects for various clients. The Knowledge Utility is my attempt to take knowledge management to the next level. The business world and to some extent people in general are great at creating knowledge, but not really good at packaging it, sharing it, using it and generating value from it to generate greater impact for ourselves, teams, enterprises, communities, regions, nations and the world.

- [Positive Life and Living](https://billcraig.info/?page_id=339): Reading Time: 4 minutesEver since I turned fifty I’ve had a strong interest in happiness, quality of life and well-being. I started reading books about related topics, got to meet some thought leaders in the field, went to conferences and dabbled with some wellbeing consulting. Early on I realized there was a science behind happiness, quality of life and wellbeing. That science was positive psychology. My number one character strength is love of learning, so when I discovered positive psychology I had to dig deeper. Through lots of reading, course work, conferences, and volunteering with the Canadian Positive Psychology Association […]

- [Contact Bill](https://billcraig.info/?page_id=77): Reading Time: 4 minutes
- [About Bill](https://billcraig.info/?page_id=75): Reading Time: 4 minutesHi and welcome to billcraig.info!   The site is full of meaningless information  about Bills relatively interesting journey through life and work. I’m hoping some of that information might actually be useful for others – but no guarantees! It’s also a tool for Bill to share some of his thoughts,  ideas, experiences and provides a bit of a launching point to a variety of initiatives that Bill is trying to move forward. So why does Bill need a blog? I like to think that I have been an idea guy for most of my life. Unfortunately, I […]

- [Sample Page](https://billcraig.info/?page_id=2): Reading Time: 4 minutesThis is an example page. It’s different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this: Hi there! I’m a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my website. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin’ caught in the rain.) …or something like this: The XYZ Doohickey Company was […]
