Visiting Layfhakera person who knows about online education all and even more, the founder of one of the high-profile start-ups associated with the acquisition of knowledge on the web. Meet Valery Nikitin and his workplace.

Valery Nikitin

Entrepreneur, specializing in the field of online education. One of the creators of jobs generation platform developed in Russia. In 2009, he led the approbation of the system in Latvia and nine other EU countries. Since 2012, the results of the European experience, develop the domestic system of electronic homework "YaKlass".

How does your workplace?

Typically, this is a bunch of laptop plus monitor. I constantly have to travel between the three working places: office "YaKlass"Tverskaya, FRII and office in Riga. Therefore, my main working tool - a laptop (Asus x202e), to it through cable connects a second monitor, which was easier to work with (Samsung Syncmaster B2430). While my job in one of the offices are empty, for him, no one sits down, even though I offered to colleagues. Probably, they are afraid. :)

Recently I purchased a smartphone Samsung Note 3: productive, good screen, great for business tasks.

A huge plus - a pen, allowing to work with gloves on the street. It is important for me, as my walking to the meetings take 4 to 8 hours a week. Work on the go - the only way out.

In Riga, I was an assistant, and it was saved. Moscow has not obzavolsya, but very desirable. Charging, as in any smartphone is not enough, therefore, carry a second battery.

More of the things that is always with me:

• Koss headphones with pads to the ears do not "numb"; :)
• brown sugar (white does not allow health);
• and Riga balsam bottle (sometimes used for the tone in the amount of 5-10 grams of coffee).

What software use?

Windows 7 through MSDN subscriptions purchased on the company.

Until 2014, "sitting" on the Fujitsu Siemens 2006 processor Celeron 1,6 and 700 MB RAM under Windows XP. Everything was fine, until Google started making web-sites that are "devouring" of 2 gigabytes of RAM.

In our company, there is no Microsoft Office. Stead - business package from Google.

A significant portion of employees working remotely, scattered in different countries. You never know where will find the right specialist tomorrow, and where you do business. A functional Google to work together on documents is good enough. Although he is constantly changing, sometimes it destroys the company's business processes.

Therefore, anyone advise Google-office will not be - it's like to trust a monkey with a grenade. We are now thinking about how to go into the cloud Microsoft Office. Total cloud drive allows you to easily work with any device, without worrying about backups and versioning of documents.

The main thing for the organization of work in the cloud service - tough general terms of use, which clearly It spelled out how to organize the files so that employees can use and increase knowledge company.

Browser - Chrome, but for some "curves" of sites (mainly Internet banking) account to get with Internet Explorer shelves.

messenger - Viber, he adds contacts by phone number, and has almost all the business partners.

Workshops and meetings we hold in Skype and sometimes use Hangouts (its functionality greatly improved in recent years). The messengers I am always online.

post office. Using the basic principles of working with e-mail, that is, group the letters, folding them into folders, set tags, stick to the rules Zero Inbox.

How do you organize your time?

I use the basic principles of time management: daily sort of problem (it occurs at about noon), put important tasks in Google Calendar.

Mode of the day I do not have - to work, until you reach the result.

I go somewhere to the hour of the night. I wake up at 7-8 am.

What place sport occupies in your life?

Sport - it is a necessity. Without physical activity is impossible to sustain the psychological.

I do jogging about three week: short, medium and long (5, 7 and 10 km, respectively).

In Moscow, running is not very convenient - dust everywhere and the motorway. Exception - Sparrow Hills and the park near the river station. This is my favorite place for jogging. Most often, in Moscow run in the gym next to the house.

Layfhakerstvo from Valery Nikitin

I would advise to check out three books. At one time, they have made the greatest impression on me:

• Steven R. Covey - "Seven highly effective people skills. Powerful tools of personality development"(For work with collective);
• Norbekov Mirzakarim - "Experience of the fool, or the key to enlightenment: How to get rid of glasses"(For motivation);
• Peter Atkins - "Order and disorder in nature"(For a deep understanding of the universe).

But the most practical thing I read about time management, it was not even a book, but rather a pamphlet written by some Vasya Sour "Time management, etc.». Funny jokes with a good book, but, of course, with the age limits for the reader.
