Hello, I’m Michael Sliwinski, founder of Nozbe - to-do app for business owners and their teams. I write essays, books, work on projects and I podcast for you using #iPadOnly in #NoOffice as I believe that work is not a place you go to, it’s a thing you do. More…

📽 Productive! Show

Collection of my productivity videos which I used to record in the past. Now when I want to post a video, I have a new Team Productivity Show for that, or I just go live on No Office FM podcast.

📽 🎬 How to do a Weekly Review explained in 3 minutes (video)

Friday, July 20, 2018 /igtv-review/

Today is Friday so it’s time for a weekly review and as I was playing on my instagram account I decided to record a short vertical video about it, where I feature my template for a weekly review, here goes:


🎤 📙 📽 🎬 Interview with Greg McKeown on Essentialism - Productive! Magazine’s last interview (issue #34)

Tuesday, March 14, 2017 /greg-mckeown/

I’ve been a long-time fan of the book: Essentialism - the disciplined pursuit of less. I read the book twice and I wanted to have its author, Greg McKeown, as a cover interview for the Productive! Magazine - and just we’ve decided to shut down our magazine, we managed to get him on - which gives us the best farewell ever - we’re focusing on what’s essential for us (Nozbe) and appreciate what we had and experienced with the magazine, and closing the magazine down with a double-message of essentialism:


✅ 📽 🎬 Interview with Marek Zmyslowski - Getting Things Done in Africa - Productive! Show

Wednesday, January 4, 2017 /marek-zmyslowski/

Marek Zmyslowski is a long-time Nozbe user and he’s been using our app throughout his long career of first running startups in Poland to then accepting a great challenge of moving to Africa to Nigeria and starting an online business there. In this interview, originally published on the Nozbe blog, he shares his productivity tips and tricks and gives us a glimpse into his life in Africa, which to me sounds really exciting (and kinda scary!):


✅ 📽 🎬 Interview with Jeff Sanders - Productivity for Podcasters - Productive! Show

Wednesday, December 28, 2016 /jeff-sanders-podcast/

As you know, I’m a regular podcaster these days. I’ve been publishing video interviews for a while now, but after more than 70 episodes of The Podcast and more than 7000 weekly listeners, I’m all about podcasting! And if you listen to podcasts, you might know my good friend Jeff Sanders whom I interviewed for the episode #102. He had me on his show, 5AM Miracle Podcast - episode 178 over a month ago, so I decided to publish my chat with him, which originally appeared on the Nozbe blog, where he shares his productivity tips for podcasters:


✅ 📽 🎬 Interview with Glenn Williams - How to Delegate Tasks? - Productive! Show

Wednesday, December 21, 2016 /glenn-williams/

It’s amazing to be talking to people from different parts of the globe and to see how we influence lives of people and teams all over the world and this time I talk to Glenn Williams from Australia. I published this interview originally on the Nozbe blog but I think it can be very interesting for you as well, as Glenn’s experience helping companies get more done and adapt to change is very inspiring:


✅ 📽 🎬 Interview with Erik Fisher - Beyond The Todo List host - Productive! Show

Wednesday, December 14, 2016 /erik-fisher/

Recently I’ve been invited to many podcasts (thanks for having me :-) and one of my favorite ones was my guest appearance in Erik Fisher’s Beyond The Todo List. We had such a great time that I invited Erik for an interview for the Nozbe blog and my community here on my personal blog. Hope you’ll enjoy this interview as we discuss productivity essentials and Erik’s methods for planning and staying on top of things.


✅ 📽 🎬 Interview with Mike St Pierre - Getting Things Done at schools - Productive! Show #104

Wednesday, December 7, 2016 /mike-stpierre/

Mike is a great friend. I originally did this interview with him for the Nozbe blog. He is a blogger, host of “The Emergent Leader Podcast”, and ex-president of Morris Catholic High School and a father of 4 children. As you might guess, he uses Nozbe to get organized with all his projects. In this interview he explains how we uses Nozbe.how templates to create more structured projects and we dive deeper into the “weekly review” concept and why it’s so important!


✅ 🎬 📽 Last year’s interview with Marcus Platt on Little Book of Nozbe

Thursday, November 17, 2016 /marcus-platt/

This interview was published last year on our Nozbe YouTube Channel but it’s very relevant still for people trying out getting organized with Nozbe - and it’s an amazing example of why I love what I do, when I get to talk to fans of our work who build something new based on it. This is what Marcus did - he wrote a book about Nozbe Little Book Of Nozbe and a lite version and now updated it to Nozbe 3. In this interview you’ll learn behind the scenes of how the book came to be and what was his motivation to write it and our to help him promote it :-)


📽 🎬 Jeff Sanders and dominating day before breakfast - Productive! Show #102

Friday, July 29, 2016 /jeff/

I talk to Jeff Sanders, the host of “The 5AM Miracle Podcast” and the author of a new book: “The 5 A.M. Miracle: Dominate Your Day Before Breakfast.”


🎬 📽 How to motivate #NoOffice employees - Productive! Show #109

Friday, June 17, 2016 /show-motivate/

What motivates people in No Office company? People work for money but not because of money. Give your employees something cool, a purpose to work in your company. Let them make decisions and give them freedom. They should choose how they reach the goal and when they’ll work on that. The key to keep the flow is asynchronous work. The most important thing is that you have to trust your employees. Treat them as partners and adults so they’ll work as adults.
