“I ultimately knew I wanted to have conversations with people” - Erik Fisher
After talking to Erik Fisher on his Beyond the To-Do List podcast, Michael (our CEO) thought it would be great to present the BTTDL host to the whole Nozbe community.
Here is the outcome: a great interview on productivity essentials and Erik’s methods for planning and staying on top of things.

We say that meetings are toxic and are the time of your workday “where minutes are taken and hours are wasted.” Does it always have to be like that? Is there something we could do, to retool them and make them more effective?
“Meetings exist for a reason, annoying as they may be. Decisions are made, problems are solved, bonds are formed, and the needle is moved in meetings. The higher you go in management, the more meetings are your work." - admits Laura Stack in her article for Productive! Magazine. It’s true, so lets see, what - according to Laura Stack - may be done to plan and run the meeting that actually solves problems and ends up with a specific decisions and set of tasks delegated to right people.
Welcome to the first issue of our new Newsletter, called “Nozbe Productivity Digest”, where we’d like to inspire you to improve your productivity and have an even happier life!
Note from Michael, Nozbe CEO
You see, I’m always thinking about ways to improve myself. But this means change. And change is hard. And it’s all about taking it one step at a time. And we never know if that step is even in the right direction until we try. And how many steps will be after that. And what will happen after a few of these steps… ten… hundred… and what if we fail? Or have to turn back?
Last week, we published the #NozbeOffice gallery made of photos taken by you - Nozbe users. This awesome collection would be incomplete without our offices. Well, we mean #NoOffices :) As you know, at Nozbe we don’t have one common workplace. Instead of that, we work from our homes or wherever we feel like working.
Today we’re presenting you our desks. We are different people with different needs, but together - thanks to Nozbe - we are powerful!
After launching Nozbe 3.0, in one of his Periscope videos, Michael presented a fresh way to manage shared projects.
Michael answered several questions, such as:
He also revealed some details of how we work in Nozbe and why we strongly believe nobody is alone these days :)
Valentine’s Day. Or Feast of Saint Valentine… It began as a liturgical celebration of a Christian saint named Valentinus. About 300 years ago in England, it evolved into an occasion on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards.
Today, it’s celebrated in many countries all around the world, although, probably, it is not a public holiday in any of them.
Whether you prefer Valentines or Anti-Valentines we have something for you!
And while many of us want to spend Valentine’s Day in a traditional way (Americans, for example, will spend $18.9 billion on Valentine’s Day this year!… And they will also spend more than $700 million on Valentine’s gifts … for their pets :-)), in some countries many Anti-Valentines parties will take place. Apparently, some people want to express their annoyance with the way 14 February got commercialized…
One thing is sure: as far as we’re living in a free world we can celebrate it as we want to :)
Dozens of your photos appeared in social media after publishing #NozbeOffice post on Nozbe blog. Now, we’ve got an awesome #NozbeOffice gallery!
When we started the celebration of Nozbe’s 9th birthday, we were sure that Nozbe Users will participate in our joy and fun. But what happened later, was beyond our wildest dreams!
