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 listeners, there’s a bonus from Nozbe ($30!)

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 can read all about it in my essay at michael.team/2min or you can just listen to the AI co-hosts discussing all the examples where I've successfully applied this rule to improve my productivity. Enjoy!🎁 And for listeners, there’s a bonus from Nozbe ($30!)

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've shared my experiences in an essay at michael.team/ai and today I've asked the AI co-hosts to talk about them for you. I hope that inspired by this conversation you'll also start embracing AI to boost your own productivity! Enjoy.🎁 And for listeners, there’s a bonus from Nozbe ($30!)
