Welcome to 2014. This year with my entire Nozbe team we’re setting out to make sure your New Year’s Resolutions finally happen! How to get your New Year’s Resolutions done? My advice: create 12 projects in Nozbe - one Resolution for each month of 2014 - and start putting tasks in each of these projects. Treat each resolution as a project that needs to be done by the end of the year.

Yes, it’s this time of the year and I’m happy to wish you a really Merry Christmas. May the holiday season bring you peace of heart and give you strength and energy for the upcoming year. May it be the time spent with your family, full of love, hope and joy. Of course as promised our Nozbe team has a Christmas gift for you to enjoy this holiday season :-) Here it is, the newest issue of your favorite (and completely free) Productive!

Everyone’s day equals 24 hours, that’s an undeniable fact, very often we are so crazy busy that we can’t even find enough time to rest (sounds familiar?). In one of my interviews Jason Womack puts it this way: “I remembered it really started going downhill when I started training myself to sleep 4 hours a night. I knew something had to change because it wasn’t sustainable." Don’t try to train yourself in sleeping less.

Note: We’ve decided to run a new series called Friday Tip on our blog and every Friday we’ll be posting a piece of advice that will help you get more done. Today let’s talk about projects. Something Michael, Nozbe CEO, is talking about in his 10 steps to Ultimate Productivity Course. What is a project? To put it simply, a project requires more than one step to be completed. Projects can vary from e.

Wow, the Thanksgiving weekend behind us and we’re getting ready for Christmas time… and all this time we’ve been hearing so many kind words from our best customers ever… and in this short post I’d like to share some of the comments you’ve been sending our way. The thing is, even almost 7 years into this, nothing makes us more motivated throughout the day than hearing our users are happy and get their things done with Nozbe!

As you probably noticed, Nozbe on iOS7 went through some visual changes. We decided to refresh Nozbe looks, add a bit of lightness, clarity and refresh the Nozbe icon. In the near future we plan to redefine the colors of our app slightly. We are not saying here about drastic changes, but we want Nozbe to be modern not only technologically, but also visually attractive. Just take a look… What’s more, we introduced other changes in order to match the style of iOS 7.

In our Nozbe team we don’t want to limit ourselves to any platform and we are open to many operating systems available on the market. Some of us use Windows, some are on Macs while others prefer Linux. That’s why we came up with the idea to prepare Nozbe for this system. Check out one of our engineer’s short story how it all began… Things are discovered by accidents :-)

Here it is after almost a year of hiatus - the new issue of Productive! Magazine - Issue #15. Inside, you will find another set of productivity-boosting articles and the interview with a person I’ve always wanted to talk to – Marten Mickos. He is my guru in terms of virtual team management. As a CEO of MySQL AB he led the team of 500 people working from various parts of the world (read the interview to learn more about the size and geographical distribution of the MySQL employees).

We’ve been stress-testing Nozbe a lot lately. As we’ve been listening to your feedback, we worked tirelessly on Nozbe 1.8.5 with bunch of bug fixes and improvements. Also, for those of you who love Linux (as some of our engineers do :-) ) we have a test version 1.8.5 for Linux 32 and Linux64. We hope you’ll like it! We also have a small gift to help you embrace the long evenings of the Fall - a real productivity boost!

The first issue of Productive! Magazine was published in the Fall of 2008. It was the time when I was about to celebrate 2 years of running Nozbe, and I felt I wanted to give people not just a tool, but also an inspiration to get more organized, productive, and be happy about their lives. Over the years we published 14 issues of the magazine and I managed to interview many great and productive people, such as: David Allen, Seth Godin, Jason Fried, and other overachievers…
