What do you do in your work?
Creating along with his team a major Russian Internet company -service booking Ostrovok.ru, co-founder who I am.
How does your workplace?
For work, I need two things: Macbook and telephone. Therefore, I do not have a specific job, I have a lot of them. I have a table in the office, but often I, like other members of our team, working in peregovorkah or somewhere in a quiet place away from the office.
So how often I work on the road, I like to use things simple and mobile as possible. Only the MacBook, phone, universal charger and connection to my Spotify playlist while you work. This is all that I need every day.
I have an iPhone 4S and the old Blackberry, which I use when traveling. I do not update my phone as long as there are not really useful new features in the latest version or the speed of the not become a real problem.
What software use?
I'm going to buy a new Mac, since my version 10.7 has become a little slower and keeps the battery charged.
Again, the simple things: I use Apple products that sync with my email and iPhone. For the record, I use notes, I put reminders every day and submit them to the appropriate folder itself.
I do not use any instant messenger, as they are distracting. Any desire to go to Facebook, Twitter or Quora shows that I was tired and needed a break. It was then that I read and do post. I usually give myself 5 minutes to restore energy before you do something useful.
Is there a place in your paper work?
Yes. If this is the paper on which I write down ideas, then yes.
When I'm working, it's a communication (letter or presentation) or brainstorming. For communication, I use the laptop. But on paper or board is easier to record brainstorm ideas, then make a picture and send to any email or other documents.
Is there a dream configuration?
Devices that are rapidly loaded and a battery charge which lasts forever. This makes it possible to communicate and take notes in real time, which greatly simplifies the process.
