Well? What's cooking webwright? :-)

Nothing yet. Truthfully, a lot of stuff is cooking with RescueTime that I'm going to keep working on (and am genuinely excited about)... But the day to day CEO tasks are going to shift to Joe and I'm going to start thinking about my next chapter. To the person who replied below about size-- RescueTime is still pretty small-- we haven't felt a lot of pressure to grow and have really focused on keeping the service lean…

Super product, it's the one service on the net that I'm actually scared to sign up for :)

Kudos for a great idea and a fantastic execution, very curious what you come up with next.

why is he stepping down when RescueTime is doing so well? > Wright said he's leaving RescueTime at a period of strong growth, with quarterly revenue averaging 51 percent over the past four quarters. About 600 to 1000 users sign up for the product every day, with an increasing number of Fortune 500 companies signing on in order to get a better understanding of how their workforces function.

Sell high, buy low!
