Even though Tim Cook built a 4 trillion empire as Apple Inc, one of the places I think he missed is their relationship with developers like myself, creator of Nozbe, a productivity app available on the iPhone, iPad and the Mac. I’ve written an entire essay about this at Michael.team/cook/ and I’ve let the AI co-hosts comment on it. Do you agree with my position here? 🎁 And for productivity-savvy...

I'm a great fan of GTD - Getting Things Done methodology by David Allen and as the founder of Nozbe, I love my simple structure of projects, tasks and comments. However, there are tasks that don't even go there, because if getting them done takes me less than 2 minutes, I just do them without even adding them to my system. Recently, I've been taking the 2-minute rule to a whole new level and you c...

Can AI - Artificial Intelligence - become a productivity booster? Oh yes. From an AI skeptic, I've been slowly embracing it and incorporating it into my daily work.

I hope that inspired by this conversation you'll also start embracing AI to boost your own productivity! Enjoy....

Discussing Netflix CEO’s thoughts on leadership: - building a high talent density workplace - leading by context - removing unnecessary policies (vacation, spending, travel)

Applying Lean methodology from Japanese factories (specifically, the kanban pull system) to managing groceries and other house supplies. Never will you ever run out of toilet paper again!

Should we focus Nozbe marketing on Work From Home? Michael has a frank discussion with Radek about this. Maybe it’s a great idea! Or maybe, it’s too niche and will ruin our marketing.

Let’s gossip about what our competitors are doing… Basecamp 4, HEY? What are they all about? Are they a threat?

Radek has started a job in manufacturing… pro bono manufacturing of face shields for hospitals in Poland. No, really. Over the last few weeks, Radek has been applying what he’d learned about CAD, laser cutting, and lean manufacturing at the Warsaw Hackerspace to set up a face shield production line. In three weeks, they produced over 30 000 face shields.

This episode is a new, experimental format. It’s just Radek calling Michael to chat about work. Like they normally would. Except that it happens to be recorded and published, so you can get a glimpse into how we do it. In this chat, we’re trying to figure out how to institute cultural change at the company, and make Kaizen part of our everyday work and thinking. Also, Radek’s frustrations with UI...

We dive deep into Lean Manufacturing - how Ford’s mass manufacturing changed the world, how Toyota dramatically improved on the process - and why it matters even if you’re not in manufacturing.

In life, there’s a limited number of f’s you can give — very few in fact. And yet we give them out left and right, robbing us of simple tranquility in life. We discuss the book The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k — a modern, approachable guide to stoicism.
