Jekyll2025-01-17T09:23:11+00:00https://nooffice.org/feed.xmlNoOffice.orgI'm writing a #NoOffice book because work is not a place to go, it's a thing that you doAlmost there! 90% of the book is written!2021-02-25T00:00:00+00:002021-02-25T00:00:00+00:00https://nooffice.org/almost-thereToday I finished chapter 30 on security and I’m hoping to be done with the entire book early March. I can’t wait to have the book written and completed. However, after that the real work will begin of promoting the book!

I’ve also simplified the URLs on this site, so if you want to read each chapter, you just add a name of the page and go there, like this for example:

  • Entire book’s Table of Contents: /book
  • Chapter 7 on Meetings: /meetings
  • Chapter 18 on Trust: /trust
  • … and so on!

P.S. As you might have noticed, I haven’t been posting updates on this blog much as I’m mostly writing on my personal blog michael.team more. But I’ve been writing the book consistentnly over the last months.

]]>Part one completed, new languages and more updates!2020-08-23T00:00:00+00:002020-08-23T00:00:00+00:00https://nooffice.org/part-one-completedToday I finished the last chapter on Mighty Fridays of the Part 1 of the book. Now I have 17 Chapters written and still another 15 to write. I’m more than half way through. Which is great!

Check out the Table of Contents and start reading!

But there’s more!

We’ve got our first community-driven contribution and the translation of the book to Brazilian Portuguese has started.

And next week we’ll have first chapters translated to Polish, Spanish and Japanese so stay tuned!

I’ve updated the about page of the project to reflect that.

I’m so excited. The writing takes a lot of my time but to see the book spreading so quickly even though it’s not finished yet gives me hope for the future of this project!

Now it’s time for part 2 - where I really dive deep into true #NoOffice habits and techniques. Wish me luck!

]]>10 Chapters done!2020-08-08T00:00:00+00:002020-08-08T00:00:00+00:00https://nooffice.org/10-chapters-doneOn my personal blog I wrote about my book writing progress and what you can find in the first 10 chapters of this book. I’m so happy with the progress so far. You can read all 10 chapters free here. Please let me know what you think!

]]>Mega chapter 7 on meetings2020-07-31T00:00:00+00:002020-07-31T00:00:00+00:00https://nooffice.org/mega-chapter-7-on-meetingsJust wrote the chapter on meetings - with our #NoOffice-way of getting meetings right. Check it out. It’s more than 1800 words.

]]>Chapter 6 about banning email is done2020-07-30T00:00:00+00:002020-07-30T00:00:00+00:00https://nooffice.org/chapter6Started my daily summer writing challenge and wrote chapter 6 on… email! Again around 1.5k words (seems like an average number per chapter) but I needed to explain why using emails to coordinate stuff internally doesn’t make sense.

]]>Chapter 5 written2020-07-02T00:00:00+00:002020-07-02T00:00:00+00:00https://nooffice.org/chapter-5-writtenBack to writing and I just wrote a chapter 5 on… writing! It’s a longer one, more than 1.5K words but and later we’ll see if during editing we cut it shorter, but for now I think it’s pretty valuable. Hope you like it, too!

]]>Part 1 intro and chapter 42020-06-22T00:00:00+00:002020-06-22T00:00:00+00:00https://nooffice.org/chapter4Finally got back to the groove of writing the book. I cannot postpone it anymore. I was busy launching Nozbe Teams but now I’m back in writing mode.

Finalized the Part 1 intro - you’re using office wrong and the Chapter 4: focus and now I’m hoping to get to a regular rhythm of writing 500 words a day for the rest of June.

]]>Intro completely done!2020-04-07T00:00:00+00:002020-04-07T00:00:00+00:00https://nooffice.org/intro-doneI managed to write the entire intro and I like it so far. Let’s see what you think about it now.

This includes the Intro beginning - Modern work is changing as well as three intro chapters inside: how my dream started, how my team grew and why I believe this is the future of work.

Please read it and let me know what you think. Start here. Thanks!

]]>Intro and the first two chapters written!2020-03-30T00:00:00+00:002020-03-30T00:00:00+00:00https://nooffice.org/first-twoFinally after the whole COVID-19 situation has settled (and we’re finally getting the hang of the situation), I’m back at writing the book. Just wrote the intro and the first two chapters. Here’s to more writing tomorrow!

I’ve decided to be very lean about it - write as fast as I can and let Magda edit my writing as soon as she can. I want to be as “lean” as possible with the book.

]]>The Outline imported to the book - now it’s just a question of writing it!2020-03-12T00:00:00+00:002020-03-12T00:00:00+00:00https://nooffice.org/outlineJust today finally imported a whole new outline on the book done on my iPad Pro in the Mind Node application:

No Office book outline and table of contents

Here’s the commit responsible for that. Later I decided to fix some “Table of Contents” issues and now you can see the whole thing online:

Table of contents with an outline of the No Office book

And now it’s just the time to write it all up. I’ll be doing it over the next week. Wish me luck - lots of writing ahead of me!
