Nozbe Values
This post is a little different. It's about the company principles that we believe in and strive for.
During one of my weekly reviews, I was struck by how I'd made some recent decisions. These were all about company issues like the internal discussion about our #NoOffice approach, meeting with team mates in May, and some business-related topics. I felt like I hadn't been consistent.
I wasn't sure if I had been right and, actually, why I'd made the decisions I had.

How to manage your day-to-day energy (with Nozbe)
Some people rely on their calendars completely: they work on reducing blank holes in their schedule, minimizing time spent in meetings and tasks and optimizing processes. But what if this isn't enough to fully improve our workdays?

5 web tools to keep you productive — on any desktop
You have work to do, deadlines are looming. Then: a crash, theft, damage... We’ve all experienced this (or, at least, we know people who have). If you're #iPadOnly and have a secondary device, lucky you. But if you’re not, you are forced to use a public or friend's device.
Or, a more prosaic scenario: in some companies people work on restricted computers, and employees cannot install software from outside a whitelist.
Fortunately, the modern web is replete with full-featured tools ready to assist you through your browser, regardless of operating system. This means that any time you're connected to the internet, you’re already armed with powerful productivity weapons! Here are my favorite tools. Some of them are always open in my browser, even on my own laptop.

Nozbe Affiliate Program 2016 changes - more commissions and better support!
Nozbe's success and user base of more than 300,000 people grew mainly thanks to word of mouth. Happy and productive people referring their friends and family to Nozbe. Introducing Nozbe in their companies, demoing our app to their colleagues and explaining how they could also achieve higher productivity and reduced stress levels. To help people refer others to Nozbe, we’ve always had an affiliate referral program and in June of 2016 we're making it even better.
We've changed our affiliate program terms several times before, always listening to your feedback, and I think you'll love our most recent change. But first off, if you want to know your referral ID, just go to "Settings > Affiliate Program" and look at your partner ID. Let's assume yours is "MIKE". To promote Nozbe all you have to do is point people to our web site like this:
Nozbe.com/a-YOURID
Or in our example case: Nozbe.com/a-Mike
Our program is totally case-insensitive, so it can be MIKE, Mike, mike... doesn't really matter.
When your friends get Nozbe through you, you give them an additional month free!
This is the latest change - if you refer people to Nozbe and they sign up and later want to upgrade, thanks to the fact that they are coming from you, they'll get an additional month free if they choose a yearly plan.
So in total they get 3 months free! Here's the math:
Nozbe’s yearly plan is discounted by 20%, so it's like getting 2 months free, plus the additional month from you, makes 3 months extra! So thanks to you, people pay for 10 months and get a 13-month Nozbe membership!
And you get a hefty 20% lifetime commission!
When people order Nozbe after a referral from you:
- Year 1 - 20% - in the first year that they are our customers, you get 20% from each purchase they make.
- Year 2 - 10% - in the second year that they stay with us and use Nozbe, you get 10% from each purchase.
- Year 3 and later - 5% - in the third year and later you get 5% of every purchase they make with us.
On average people stay with us for more than two years, so you'll very likely get lots of commissions from the same customer over their lifetime with us.
And you can earn even more!
The terms above are for everyone right out of the gate so if you want to refer people to Nozbe, start using your unique URL today!
But there's more - we have special commissions for our most active affiliates:
- If you earn at least $500 USD commissions in a calendar year, we'll bump you to the "Affiliate PRO" level and raise your first-year commission from 20 to 25%!
- If you join our Ambassadors program you'll also get a higher commission after we've accepted you, so if you're a prominent blogger or productivity coach, contact us about it.
- If you want to do a special campaign to promote Nozbe and want to offer your audience more than 1 month of Nozbe, contact us we can work with you to create an additional coupon code for you.
Help us promote Nozbe and help others get more done!
This is what I love about this work. Thanks to our app, people from all over the world are more organized and get more done and live happier lives. Just think about it, many of our 300,000 users wake up every day to plan it all with Nozbe. We help them achieve success.
But if you think about it, 300,000 people out of 7 Billion is nothing. We can still help hundreds of thousands if not millions to get more done. And you can help us do that.
Help us bring Nozbe to more people!
By promoting a product that works for you, that you love and use every day. Just send them your unique affiliate link. You'll give them a great tool, one additional month of Nozbe, and we'll send you some money every month which you can spend in your free time, which you'll have more of, thanks to Nozbe :-)
Thanks in advance!

Why the security and safety of your data is Nozbe's biggest priority
Ever since I founded Nozbe back in 2007, the security and safety of customer data as well as the stability of our infrastructure were my biggest points of focus. To the point that I'd wake up in the middle of the night to check if our servers were still up... Over the years we’ve had our failures, outages and issues... but if you've been with us for the last few years you’ll have noticed that our infrastructure has been rock-solid for a while now.
In this blog post I'd like to explain why that is, what we've done so far and what we'll be doing in the near future to actually make it even better and more secure for you to get things done and communicate effectively through tasks thanks to Nozbe.
I'd like to mention a few things:
- how our server infrastructure is built
- how we store your data (tasks, files, attachments, 3rd party files)
- how we do backups
- how we can keep Nozbe going even through a major catastrophe...
- who has access to your data
- and what's still to improve here :-)

Nozbe Reunion: what we love about being together
We believe that working remotely is the best thing for ourselves, our jobs and our families. But, of course, every team needs to meet from time to time. So do we.
Last time we met, three months ago in Sopot, we did a lot to make this time as productive as possible. Company members did internal keynotes, Michael held one-to-one talks, and we all had a lot of fun working and playing!
Watch and feel the spirit
We would like to share a video from Sopot, where we talk about NoOffice worker privileges and what we love about being together.

My checklist for an olympic-distance triathlon
Continuing last week's tradition of sending you fitness advice, here's mine. A little over 2 years ago I decided to really get back in shape. I was already running 10-15km per week but after a knee injury I decided to lose weight and start doing other sports than just jogging. Thanks to the "Slow carb diet" I lost 8kg / 16lbs and thanks to a friend who convinced me to give it a shot, in 2014 I completed 2 sprint-distance triathlons and 1 Olympic-distance triathlon. The last one became my perfect distance: 1,5km swim, 40km (24.9 miles) bike ride and 10km (6.2 miles) run. A little under 3 hours of fun. Last year I did two of those and this year I already did one in April, I'll do next one this coming Sunday and the third one in September. Now, the key to getting it right, besides being in shape, is a great packing list, because these are three different sports you have to do with only a minute to change between them, so you better have everything in place. That's why while preparing to my last triathlon I decided to create this handy packing list for both me and you:
Get my complete triathlon packing list
Thanks to our cool Nozbe.how shared template system I created this checklist as a project template in Nozbe so you can either open it and use right away or import to your Nozbe account.
If you're curious about some of the details about why I structured this template the way I did, here goes:
