Data Lock In
This week will be my third attempt to switch our published company phone number to our new provider Unlimitel from Primus. We were previously using Primus but their services were not as flexible as Unlimitel’s and the configuration of our phones were never correct. We lived with it because it was cheaper than the alternative Bell.

Forget the Kitchen Sink
Rather than planning something until it’s perfect just grab a bit small enough to tackle and move on after that. The momentum of creating one small item will eventually lead to the whole picture but you don’t need to throw in the kitchen sink from the beginning.
