1. Do what you really like

Otherwise, why all this? Time - the most expensive and irreplaceable resource, so spend it on something that does not belong to the soul, at least rational.

Oleg Dolgikh

company-exporter of Active Trading Russian brands managing partner.

I can understand a person who, as an employee, does not exactly what he wanted to. He may have more on the lookout for "their". But if you are building a business, it is the love of his own business gives the necessary strength and drive for development. Do something without a soul - is like to go without fuel.

To all turned out, it is important to believe in the idea, and that everything will be possible. It is faith in the success and productivity is the main secret: it helps to stop thinking in terms of limitations and from the very beginning to tune in to a positive result.

2. Never stop in the development of

What would you do, certainly you have the skills that can be improved, as well as adjacent areas in which it would be useful to plunge. Just look a little wider and look for yourself the motivation to try and learn something new. This is not and you are not inspired by anything? Maybe you're just tired - then move on to the next item.

CEO "MULTiKUBIK" (in the foreign market - CINEMOOD).

Skills and competencies that are accumulated with the development of his own company, should not lead to the conclusion that you know everything. The main thing - to never stop developing and constantly go deeper. A leader must be a guide to the new energy and resources to the team, engage consultants with fresh eyes, to drive internal processes and not let them stagnate.

3. Relax and find time for yourself

Just believe me: if you do not have time to rest and other pursuits in life besides work, you are doing something wrong. It's great to be truly an enthusiastic, but it is important to be able to restart the system and look for sources of energy and inspiration in something else: in hobbies, sports, time with the family.

Georgi Solovyov

CEO Skyeng.

In maintaining a stable psychological state, and hence the productivity of stable meditation help me: I try to practice them every night before bedtime, and ideally more in the morning.

4. Learn to plan

Many of us did not believe in what minute spent in the formulation of plans, saves 10 minutes in the future. Just do not start the day (or even better - a week) if you do not have a clear list of tasks.

Dalia Abdallah

The founder of Modern Pink Paper.

I recommend to learn to work only on one task. Our minds operate at speeds of 20 miles per minute, so if you come up with the idea, just take a piece of paper and write it down. No need to act immediately. Just write down what comes to your mind, not to forget and go back to the idea after finish business.

5. Delegate what others can do better

There is not a businessman, who is good in everything. So the sooner you realize that you are not a superman, and determine their "sick spot", the sooner you start to work productively. It is important to identify your strengths, focus on them, and everything else to learn to delegate.

Michael Buhovtsi

CEO "MULTiKUBIK" (in the foreign market - CINEMOOD).

I participate only in those meetings where it is impossible to do without me. The most important points include on the stage of the conclusions and final decision-making.

6. Learn productivity even outside the office

Entrepreneur today - is a person who should be able to move without affecting ongoing business processes. Therefore, any trips - be it a couple of hours in the high-speed train or a flight across the Atlantic - it is important to be able to organize their work sensibly.

Faisal Sublaban

CEO of Bonotel Exclusive Travel.

As the CEO of an international travel company I travel more than most would like. While on the road, I have to be no less productive than in the office. Therefore, formulated for himself a couple of key rules that will be useful to all those who are often on the move:

Be aware of the possibility of your phone. I came to understand that it is possible to carry out 95% of the cases without using a computer. Even a few million contract today may be signed using the mobile app.
During the waiting time, a taxi or a hotel room, you can do a bunch of tasks: check e-mail, call, perform something else that got lost in the daily routine.

7. Take care of the quantity and quality of sleep

If your body needs 7-8 hours of sleep to be productive, do not deny yourself this.

Georgi Solovyov

CEO Skyeng.

To create favorable conditions for sleep I approach responsibly: watch for the room temperature (about 16 ° C) and concentration carbon dioxide (400-450 ppm), and that was the absolute darkness and silence, comfortable mattress, and, of course, the duration of not less than 6-7 hours. In my bedroom there are some very useful gadgets to help make the dream as effective as possible, and hence the day - productive.

8. Learn to say "no"

It is a beautiful word free from unnecessary worries, unproductive meetings, tedious transfusion from a sieve, and even relieves headache.

David Cancela

Founder Drift platform.

Once I realized that my e-mail is full of letters, which I never replied, simply because he did not want to say "no." I just promised myself that'll walk them later, thus leaving the matter in the list of tasks that are not performed. Everything is really simple: saying "no", you free yourself from unnecessary explanations. Thus you have the time for your business, self-development, health and family.
