Chose the profession under the influence of the trend of the time: he studied physics and mathematics, fascinated, as many computers because the programmers and leaned in. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, a good programmer from me did not work.
Definitely I believe that you need to learn in high school, because education gives experience to make decisions and, most importantly, learn to think in terms of objectives and results. Whether you teach up a sweat or just think up a scheme whereby you get the desired assessment, in any case, do you think, and are moving to the task.
Now I regularly go through short-term training as personal development and industry. Very fond of short-term training format for the conciseness of information and its practical benefits: as a rule, nothing more, just tools.

My hobby today - this is my restaurant. I like to create.
I love the state, when you are in the process of implementing a new project, study design, kitchen, marketing, restaurants, engaged in the development of corporate culture.
I love the buzz of conversation filled with guests in the restaurant, for me it's the best music!
Restaurant business recently fully engaged, my wife, and I am very grateful to her. It gave this area a new stage of development and has allowed me to translate it into the category of hobby, excluded from the operational management.
How does your workplace?
I try not to get attached to the office, because for me is very important to change the image. Perhaps that is why I like the bike. I have some basic jobs:
1. The living room of the house. Here I always start my day.
2. Office at work. I try to be there for meetings with employees and partners.
3. Restaurants. This allows you to once again switch, as well as to keep abreast of the staff on the work in the room and the quality of food.
4. In the summer occasionally I work in city parks.
At work I use a laptop Toshiba Satellite, always carry it with you. This is my main working gadget home computer do not use. The main criteria for me are the ease and time. According to these parameters the laptop I was completely satisfied.
Second, my loyal assistant - it smartped Galaxy Note 4. Never thought I could give up your favorite HTC smartphones, but tried once Galaxy Note 4, do not cease to admire the convenience and usefulness of the device. In it I have everything: personal organizer, corporate portals Bitrix24, books, web surfing, social networks, smart alarm clock.
The office also provided for convenience is a ten Galaxy Tab, which is used exclusively as an organizer.
list of programs I roam c device to device for many years. On the laptop is worth:
- Chrome - the best browser stuck and easy in my mind. Very convenient syncing bookmarks with Android-devices.
- The Bat! - this program I have is already 12 years old, and nothing is more convenient, I have not found and not looking.
- Microsoft Office - the company's monopoly Microsoft has determined this choice once, and now on Windows-based devices, there is nothing better, in my opinion.
- Skype - the messenger, which is used throughout the company for the transmission of text messages, phone calls and video conferencing.
On phones and tablets such software:
- GTD-organizer - Due Tooday. Falling asleep, I thought to write in the program, and she immediately "fly" on a tablet in the office, which I use as a desktop diary.
- WhatsApp, Viber. Why they? Historically. :)
- Skype - our corporate instant messenger. We all staff on all devices should this program, we regulate the response times and use them.
- AquaMail - for many years do not see an alternative, finding once this program.
- Chrome - besides convenient, easy, friendly, sync with all your devices.
In addition, I am an active user of social networks as a tool for transparency and feedback monitoring of the restaurant business. use Facebook and Instagram. Social sphere - a very good tool to promote both business and yourself as an active person.
Legal industry communities and often write back. Also, sometimes I write just a very short essays from observations of life.
Is there a place in your paper work?
Paper seldom, but always on the table is a notebook to take notes.
I read basically a Galaxy Note 4 through the reader Cool Reader. Forward when released Galaxy Note Tab next generation with a diagonal of 8 inches, which is likely to completely eliminate from the daily work of the paper.
What's your daily routine?
I try to stick to the regime both at work and in personal life.
Working day I start mostly at six in the morning.
Morning for me - this is the most productive time while the whole city wakes up, I can safely work with documents, planning time, view all tasks and DueToday Bitrix24.
In the office I come at nine in the morning, since he is next to the house. Before lunch I try to finish all office tasks, associated with concentration. Lunch is also very usefully spend - in one of its restaurants. I tasting menu dinner with partners, discussing a number of issues in the dialog mode.
Business Day also finish dinner at one of my restaurants.
How do you organize your time?
Long-term planning I started recently. With the growth of business it becomes necessary - to manage it "with wheels" is simply unrealistic. Despite the presence of many of today's mobile applications for the organization of the working day, following the example of his partner, I came to the need to hire a personal assistant. Alone cope with the increasing volume of incoming information and diverse tasks becomes increasingly difficult.
All meetings with employees spend only on the agenda, which is regulated by the forms, filled in by the eve of the meetings. This allows you to be aware of the subject matter, form an opinion and distribute solutions.
In this case, the laptop with me always. In case you need to quickly get involved in the solution of any problem, and also to usefully spend time in airplanes and airports.
What place sport occupies in your life?
Sports - one of the components of the regime in my life. As in sport mode, I find myself for the reference points that allow them to build around time. Recently, due to travel this regime suffers, but, being present in the city, I try to regularly attend yoga and gym.
A special place in my life took a bicycle. I even winter studded tires on the ride through the city. Bicycling is very clearly reflects my character: I love the dynamic change of scenery.
This year, based on the same principle, buying a canoe to navigate on the water and just as fast, doing sports, I was surrounded by my place.
Layfhakerstvo by Dmitry Akulina
I have no favorite literature - each book corresponds to a certain stage of life. I like to grow the read literature, and I rarely go back to the previously read the book. Therefore, I can only recommend professional literature necessarily alternate with art. This helps move the focus and not zamylivat eyes.
I do not dream, I do!
Movies and TV shows look rarely (TV in the house generally includes rare). I try not to clog the brain and do not spend time on it. For this reason, rarely look through news portals, limited industry internet publications.
Therefore, my main recommendation layfhakeram - never stop! As soon as the stop, you will begin to be covered with moss, and get out of this state very hard. If something does not work, then it is only a temporary obstacle on the chosen path, which is sure to be overcome with proper persistence. Do their job better than anyone else, and success will not take long!
