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…

I’ve got a gift for you today. It’s completely free and it’ll give you productivity boost and inspiration you might just need: Productive! Magazine for iPhone and iPad. Productive! Magazine is a by-product of my passion for productivity. I started preparing the magazine a few years ago for you, my dear Nozbe user, because I wanted to give you something more than just a tool - a great resource for inspiring and timeless articles that would get you motivated to be more productive and organized.

For the past weeks we’ve been working on a new auto-update Nozbe 1.8.4. The version contains mainly bug fixes and minor changes, but as an old saying goes: little things can make a big difference :-) We improved auto-sync across all your devices, especially on your mobile, we fixed tiny bugs in the calendar, enhanced your experience with projects converted from templates, introduced better support for vimeo links and much more.

Since the release of Nozbe 1.8 we’ve been working to fix a few problems with the calendar view that some of you have experienced. Our support and the tech team have been working very hard to make sure all the problems and issues are solved. We know you put a lot of trust in Nozbe and we want you to be happy about the tool you’re using every single day.
