Sergey Klonkin

CEO and cofounder digital-agency Original Works. Before that was the commercial director of Inform-S, and also held the position of Technical Director in the area of ​​business process automation, and accounting. I worked on projects for Elkon, domain ".rus" plant "Elektroshchit".

What do you do in your work?

Love. :)

I am the CEO and co-founder of digital-agency Original Works. My role in the company is in the department of management, operational and strategic planning, sometimes in negotiations with key customers. From time to time, selectively check the progress of projects implemented by managers, not to relax. :)

Also taking part in the selection of staff: we grow, and we often have to look for new people. Turnover in our small (usually because of the decree). On the question of recruitment'm serious, often I communicate with the candidates personally. We prefer to take the company or trained specialists, or invite specific people.

More lead several of his projects - in my position, "player-coach".

How does your workplace?

I spend most of the time in our office Samara.

Here we have a back office - a spacious 250-meter space in the open space format in a comfortable building with a view of the Volga.

Plenty of space and air, no corridors and small rooms.

If there are no classrooms boundaries, then erased and psychological barriers between employees.

I have a fairly simple organization of space on the desktop.

Computer, monitor, mouse, keyboard, mug for storing office supplies, palm smartphone. Periodically iPad gets to the table. Nothing extra. There are more calendars, a couple of things from the house, the phone and the old calculator.

What software use?

When buying a computer working on it already was Windows 7. I am not updated until the eighth version, because there are no fundamental differences that would help me in my work.

When choosing a platform for the PC, I am a supporter of Intel and Asus brands. choosing a maximum configuration for working iron (at the time of purchase). Hard drives in the company of only SSD. We do not save on the technique, as staff time several times more expensive. Many people do not understand.

Often I see, in the company's employees sit and just waiting for their computers to do something, and the salary in the meantime, "dripping".

With regard to the program filling my computer, the following:

• File manager - FAR. This "dinosaur", long-term habit. But many things in it is done quickly.
• post office - The Bat. This is our corporate standard: templates, quick answers and auto filters - what we need. It is a pity that the work of the network it is not up to par.
• passwords It keeps me Sticky Password.
• Shifrovalshik - True Crypt. Perhaps he is at the head of each. It is a pity that the software company did not survive odd spy story in May this year. Nevertheless, the penultimate "neskomprometirovannaya" version works fine and does not fail.
• Mind Mapping component in the X-Mind. Convenient and also a free program.

How do you organize your time?

For short-term use planning Wunderlist. Medium-term and long-term business are recorded in a separate notebook.

No matter how you set up the business in the software scheduler, they are still at the level of the subconscious "collapse" of priorities.

But when you fit something with his hand in a notebook, tasks are perceived quite differently. Maybe it's just a habit. :)

Is there a place in your paper work?

I'm a big fan of notebooks. I have three different sized Moleskine: two for planning and one for meetings and negotiations.

I also use the application 53 Paper for the iPad. This, in essence, the same the Moleskine, but virtual. For convenience and drawings acquired Adonit Jot Pro stylus. Unlike other similar devices, always see what you write: pen tip transparent.

What's your daily routine?

I forced a lark. :) I wake up at 6:00 am, Lay down around midnight. Time to sleep enough. I equally productive throughout the day. But after 10 pm I try any important things not to do. The brain needs a break.

How to pass the time in traffic jams?

I come to work, when the plug is not yet formed, and return home when they have almost none. If you have to move off somewhere during the day, in the car I spend time with benefits: listen to audio books and I am learning languages. I Tried LingvaLeo, but somehow I was not caught. As a result, I switched to a more traditional approach to learning - a series of programs "Polyglot" for the iPad. In addition, it signed a couple of educational channels on YouTube.

If you just stuck somewhere on the road, then read with PocketBook Reader or working with documents through the iPad. Documents like the program. It contains all the necessary functionality to operate on the fly.

Also on the iPad I read magazines or view documents on the work (with the release of Word and Excel for iOS has become less of a problem with formatting).

Radio I do not listen - too much information noise, you need to limit your mind of excess debris.

For the same reason I do not have on Twitter and I rarely I go to Facebook.

Layfhakerstvo from Sergei Klonkina

I love books more for motivational component than in the application information when after reading energizes and want to do something new. I recommend three of these books:

1. «purpose"Eliyahu M. Goldratt. This is the first book that interested me and presentation format (business-novel), and approach. In principle, the theory of constraints, which preaches Goldratt, you can build, not only business, but also for life. It is important to interpret correctly.
2. «Customers for Life"Carl Sewell. We are very sensitive to customers, and much has been done before reading this book, but some of the approaches life examples and the achieved level of forced to think and to make further steps towards customer focus.
3. «hidden champions"Hermann Simon. We entered the market in the crisis of 2008-2009, and, of course, there were many doubts at the stage start. It is a pity that at that time I did not have this book. It is good because it shows promise, which can be achieved. The real interesting examples from the life of a lot more convincing than abstract slogans of "We are the coolest."

Is there a dream configuration?

It is necessary to do what he likes, but to be able to limit myself, to have time to enjoy life. This is easily explained by a simple example: if you love ice cream, something stupid to force yourself to eat in one sitting the whole bucket. No one from this better not be, and you especially.

In a world obsessed with productivity and achievements, began to forget, for what they do need. To give the case completely, but do not burn yourself.
