Facebook as a CRM Solution
Why?
Many businesses already advertise on Facebook and use marketing automation on Facebook. Why not extend this to a more complete CRM solution?
How?
One solution is to have facebook develop it, which would have better integration but would also be a much more closed system (no integration with external automation services.) Another would be a 3rd party solution using the Facebook API. In either case, Facebook would have to allow individually identified Facebook users to be “visible” to the CRM.

Know What Businesses Are Controlled by Islam
Why?
Wouldn’t you want to know if the company you buy from is in the hands of radical Islam powers?
Why?
Have a watchdog organization researching publicly available data and listing companies that are controlled or have a major interest in them by Islamic organizations or individuals, that might be connected to primitive or corrupt regimes.

Know When You Procrastinate Then Delegate
Why?
We all procrastinate. It would be nice if you knew how much and how to create a positive outcome from it.
How?
Instead of measuring the time you spend on tasks measure the time you spend procrastinating. You can use the same app. Every time you feel you’re putting things off just start the timer and record it as “I should have done X” in the app you’re using. That’s the hard part – being aware that it starts. After a while – give it at leas a week – look at the report. What are the types of tasks that you tend to procrastinate on when they come up? Can any of these be delegated? If so do it and you’ll be much more effective and feel much better about yourself.

How to Free Your Creative Mind
Why?
Constraints help you be creative. When you have no constraints it becomes hard to create. Creativity is an expression of your mind and if you have external stimuli it helps. Constraints can provide that stimulus. They force your mind to react to them and help you free your creative abilities.
How?
An app and website for helping you exercise creativity with constraints where you can get or do the following:
1. Get a set of constraints and a goal to achieve within those constraints. This can be algorithmic or human created.
2. Publish your achievement for a given set of a goal and it’s constraints.
3. Create goal and constraints “sets” for others to try.

Help Your Kids Self-Regulate How Much TV They Watch
Why?
A few benefits come to mind:
1. They will watch less TV.
2. You’ll have fewer arguments and fights with them.
3. They’ll learn to self-regulate.
How?
Have a system – a piece of paper will do, but an app on all your phones is also a good idea – where you write down what is your point of view on what and how much weekly TV is ok. They will use this to record each and every time they watch TV how long and what did they watch. Every time they’ll see what’s your accepted “allowance” is. Each week you’ll sit together and review last week’s results.
