Jobs: Artem Turovets, a man in love with the "Sky"

What do you do in your work

My main and the only project on which I am known in RuNet - online bookkeeping "Heaven." Inside the "Heaven" I do command inspiration and direction of our inexhaustible energy in the right direction. And just this choice of the bed, as well as some administrative functions.

How does your workplace

My workplace is constructed in such a way that it is possible to work comfortably, and it became uncomfortable, in the event of unwanted clutter. It consists of the usual ikeevskogo white table on 4 legs + chair + bedside.

How it works?

Small table physically will not let me divorce him on strong clutter.

Sooner or later (and the smaller table, the sooner, - verified) on him physically no place to put "another paper," and, like it or not, to deal with them.

The white color of the table does not allow "save" a large number of divorces from coffee / tea making facilities. As soon as the first, the table begins to look very unsightly. Again, like it or not, wipe.

In addition, these tables have the opportunity to safely stretch my legs.

On the table, a monitor for a laptop, wireless keyboard and mouse, notebook paper for the current record. Plus a few pens to nibble them in the creative impulse and to sign documents on administrative work.

Plain old laptop Lenovo, although it is worth your MacBook wish-list. But I get it from yourself, after you have made some personal KPI. For daily work the Lenovo enough, as most of the performance of my work does not need, and provides a large image display.

I do not chase for novelties to be met by it to the same requirements as to the workplace, - the minimum required comfort.

Perhaps that is why the only use to date gadget - smartphone LG is on Android. A gift from the team. Set me very well knowledgeable professionals so fell straight to the point. Small enough to fit in your pocket, big enough to be comfortable to write letters and read books, modern enough to not hinder him.

What software use

operating system - Windows 7. OEM was bundled with the laptop. It fits me, because it comfortable to work 1C, including the old version 7.7. The fact, that besides the directorship in "Heaven", I also "I earn a programmer", supports the exchange 1C "Heaven."

On duty in the system worth 3-4 browserBut I use only Google Chrome. Most likely because he's accustomed to, and have not yet encountered problems that forced me to change it to something else.

post office - Mozilla Thunderbird, because it is free, but has a developed system of automatic filters. Again, a matter of habit - more than 5 years on it.

messengers: Skype and Telegram - for work; Whatsapp - for personal purposes. Skype is our primary working tool of operational communication. There are several thematic chatik stable, ranging from HD-chat for quick discussions of support, up to 100% - "sisekkotikov" for amusing pictures that are not related to work.

In the "Skype" I am constantly in the status of invisibility. This allows you to choose the response time and determine its importance.

Similarly mail. If now is not important correspondences goes active, the email client I try to keep closed.

Twitter I consciously abandoned. First, he eats time. Secondly, he eats emotions and concentration. The concentration is not currently on this particular problem, but in general, the global concentration on your goals. For the same reason I watch little fellow blogs on cloud market accounting.

Office applications. Not so long ago, a couple of years ago, I caught myself thinking that there was not a document I'm working on one and then that no one will show. And if the share and, especially, co-edited, it is much easier to work in "the cloud."

Googley spreadsheets, presentations and word processing have enough tools to create meaning and make the minimum-required forms. And when (if) the need to clothe the information in a very beautiful shape (for example, draw the presentation), refer the case for professionals - designers. And, again, the installed applications are not needed.

For management accounting in business, I use the "Sky", independently raznoshu extract, and get pleasure from it.

Share your planning system

Serious impact on my planning system had Gleb Archangel and his "Time Drive».

As a planner using several tools.

Google Calendar allows you to negotiate and confirm a meeting with colleagues and partners, and watch them on your desktop phone in a widget. I am writing to do all the events with a fixed start time, the so-called "hard events." Apart from these, in Google Calendar, I do not write anything, because the fans of the planning context.

Context planning - is when tasks are linked to a particular place, a group of people or circumstances, that is the context.

For example, I never write in the Google Calendar tasks associated with developing applications "Heaven." When it comes time to work on the development, I still walk into Redmine (on a task tracker our managers in the design does not fit) and see where all of your development tasks.

Also, I never write in Google Calendar tasks directly related to the accounting of "Heaven." Because for these tasks I still need to go to "Heaven", and there is our accountant with a book of problems for two.

Thus, almost all of the tasks are scattered contexts.

My thing, unlike the classical context of planning for Arkhangelsk - to make getting in context, you could not pass a list of tasks in this context.

Otherwise, if you put a list of contextual problems somewhere in a diary, I like irrationals, always forget to look into it.

There are also "-context 'workloads. They tend to be large and written in a simple list in an ordinary paper notebook, where I had them gradually expunged.

With regard to the definition of objectives, all the goals I've broken too, in context: there are workers, there is a family, there are sports. Defined goals for personal growth I have not. Just when something is not enough, I just go and learn it.

I am convinced that the goal is not only useful but also harmful.

Firstly, they zashorivayut not allow a broader view on both sides. For example, if I work (not to say "uporotyh") followed his goals and plans from 2008-2010, would now be a project manager in a large 1C franchisee. Brr! How to compare the degree of freedom that would have been me, and what I have now... Even thinking about it is not desirable.

Secondly, giving very serious importance to the objectives previously set forth, is very easy to be tempted every day to watch the progress of approaching them, and get upset, that is still so far away. Rather than focusing on a daily basis to do a small step in the right direction.

On the other hand, quite without goals you can not too. Especially if you organize a group of people. But like everything, to the objectives should be treated without fanaticism.

What is your daily routine

My daily routine varies depending on the time of year and, of course, the context in which I am.

By default, I think of myself as an owl, and the most productive time to the period from 16 to 21 hours. On the other hand, I notice that the forced "zhavoronokstvo" - is also great!

For example, when the son went to kindergarten, and I take him to the (scary thought!) 7:15 my most productive hours at work were from 8 to 12-13.

Another example. When you fly on a business trip, you have to get up at 4 am in general, and the most creatively productive time accounted for 5: 00-9: 00 pm, while sitting at the airport and fly in an airplane.

About the drop zone, where people come to be engaged in favorite hobbies (skydiving), do not say anything. There's "peak efficiency" - a whole day, and even feeling close my eyes after a hearty dinner, you know, it's just your body tries to interfere, and the brain and the spirit of productive than ever.

In short, the "lark" or "owl" - it's all nonsense and convenient excuse to himself. It all depends on your inner attitude to this or that activity. It is clear that it is impossible to create a positive attitude at all times and for everything, and do not need.

You just need to be honest with you, at a minimum, and ideally with others.

For example, I feel much freer when I say to colleagues - "Guys, I was read last night, so today woke, still the same nothing important scheduled in the morning ", than constantly-false" I have an owl, do not touch me the morning. " By the way, my staff I have exactly the same attitude. It is much easier to negotiate if you are honest with yourself and colleagues. Just do not confuse this with undemanding.

What place in your life takes sports

In answering this question, I usually proudly beat his butt to the chest and say - "I have been skydiving." In fact, I regularly jump with a parachute, and ensure there is small but growing results. But this is not a sport, but rather exercises.

Exercise, which helps to fully switch to another dimension.

Arriving at the airport, you are completely, with giblets, switch from terrestrial life in the air.

Firstly, doing chores and tasks, it is absolutely not characteristic of ordinary life. Secondly, there is the opposite. For example, our body's reflexes say: "In any unclear dangerous situation tensed and group." In the air, on the contrary: "In any unclear situation is rotten and relax." Third, it's just beautiful.

Fourth, fifth... I can talk about it for a long time. :) And the question was about the place of sport in life. Answer:

Sport is one of the three main places in my life, along with business and family.

Just do not ask to arrange them by priority. This incomparable things from different dimensions (round can not be compared with green).

How to pass the time in traffic jams

I try not to fall into the plugs, the benefit of the Universiade in Kazan after possible. If hit, then either read the book from the phone or communicate with his son (if you go with it). Sometimes I call people with whom there is no short conversations. These conversations always save in the case of traffic jams. About safety, I do not forget - the car has Bluetooth, read books, too - only at zero speed.

Is there a place in the paper in your work

Fortunately, there is. Unfortunately, there is.

Why fortunately? Because on paper is easier to think, drawn, pleasant cross out completed tasks.

Why "Unfortunately? Because very few of our suppliers have switched to paperless, as in all small businesses. Today the situation is such that the electronic document can not afford to go only major counterparties. Because a complete transition requires "bend" under it of all its partners, plus some effort on his run at.

Nevertheless, we are with some of the partners have been working without paper, and spread this "infection" around him.

Layfhakerstvo from Artem Turovets

booksWhich opened different layers of knowledge / understanding of life (two and one art Corporate Business) for me:

1. Eliyahu Goldratt - "The purpose. The process of continuous improvement ". What is the most important thing in business? How to measure it? In what side to dig, and where it is not necessary? In addition, starting with this book, I discovered a whole theory of constraints, which gave also a couple of practical tools.
2. Jim Camp - "First, say" No "". A very effective approach to sales and negotiations, and he is not in the sentence handed down in the name. By the way, weighted to the objectives, I also learned there.
3. Ayn Rand - "Atlas Shrugged". Very motivating book, although in some places tightened. Each character you see a piece of themselves. And then, already in real life situations, you begin to represent, at any of the characters you'll be like if povedosh themselves one way or another.

Is there a dream configuration

Yes. It is you yourself.

All the people inside are lazy and prone to procrastination. So, the main task of the configuration of the dream is to enable sloth inside you emerge only when you tell him this will allow, and nothing else.

All reserves and opportunities lie within you. Yes, gadgets and software facilitate your work, sometimes considerably. That's just not one gadget and no program will make you want to take a step. And if you do really want, then it is quite another state.

You do not remember the words such as "productivity" or "motivation", they simply do not need you. You're just you take and do. You see an obstacle, but sour cream or bypasses them without batting an eyelid.

Some call it a state of flux, some inspiration.

And that's what I want to wish you, dear readers Layfhakera. Write a couple of comments on this article, and then close the browser and go - work / study / play with baby... LIVE!
