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.

🗯 Short

Short blog posts that I sometimes just want to post out there. More like longer Tweets that I just want to keep on my blog instead of social media.

🏝 💼 🗯 Hiring people who don’t want to move away…

Friday, February 13, 2026 /hubert/

🤝 Can a small business get better talent than a big corporation? Hell yes! What if location limits your opportunities, but NOT your ambition?

🏝 🗯 Are we a serious company if we work remotely?

Thursday, February 12, 2026 /serious/

🤔 Does a business only look serious if people are physically visible in the office? If they work from home they’re not professionals anymore?…

💼 🗯 Every single positive comment counts!

Friday, February 6, 2026 /make-my-day/

😍 Every. Positive. Comment. Counts! When you’re a business owner, even with thousands of customers, every time I get a positive comment from a client, IT MAKES MY DAY.

Every single positive comment counts!


🏝 🗯 Where are you based?

Wednesday, February 4, 2026 /based/

📍 Where are you based? Simple question with a complicated answer, because as a #NoOffice company we’re based on the Internet. So I answer: NOZBE dot COM

Did you know I spent 228 hours listening to podcasts in 2025? At 1.5x speed? A podcast creator (I co-host NoOffice.FM and Nadgryzieni.pl) is also a podcast consumer. Here are the podcasts I listened to the most and I recommend:

💼 🗯 Switching to monthly cadence for No Office podcasts

Wednesday, January 21, 2026 /monthly-podcast/

I love podcasting 🎧 and I’m an avid podcast listener and producer. Even though I’m busy developing my app Nozbe, I love sharing tips and tricks for our clients on the “No Office” podcast. This year, based on the amount of work we have on the app, I’ve decided to lower the frequency of the podcast to just once a month, but I want to make it count!

✔️ 🗯 Why using a physical whiteboard helps me… think!?

Monday, January 12, 2026 /board/

🖍️ I’ve had a whiteboard in my #homeoffice for years now and even though I don’t use it daily, I love having it there for those “deep thinking” sessions.

⌚️ 🗯 Design is how… Apple Watch doesn’t work?

Monday, December 15, 2025 /watch-dot/

Design is how it works, right? This used to be Apple. Now they’re managed by Excel-obsessed Tim Cook and designers seemed to have forgotten how stuff works at all. Here’s the latest Apple Watch 26.2 and the “notifications” indicator keeps telling me that I have new notifications even if I’ve seen them all…

🕹️ 🗯 Life finds a way… to USB-C with adapters for Braun and Phillips…

Tuesday, December 9, 2025 /usbca/

Turns out in technology, if you dig deep enough, life… uh… finds a way as Jeff Goldblum would say. After my USB-C all gifts post I got lots of cool suggestions for more USB-C powered gadgets, but I also inspired people to search for solutions to their old appliances. One of my good friends, determined to keep using his Phillips shaver, found an adapter that converts their proprietary charger to USB-C and right after, he sent me one for Braun:
