Which life hack helps you save time?
You can not select any one. Let's be two:
1. Keep inbox in the mail blank and read the mail in strictly allotted time intervals. This allows you not to re-read letters a hundred times and dramatically, radically change the frequency of the task-switching, the main source of loss of time.
2. Take a separate working day for self-education. Meeting some interesting topic - postpone it for this day. Thus, you will learn and not be distracted.
What kind of to-do manager do you use?
Emacs, orgmode.org
What do you listen when you work?
People. I listen to what people say. When I manage to do pure programming for several hours in a row, I listen to Yandex.Music or rdio with unfamiliar groups. To combine some interesting activities together.
What are you reading now?
For me, reading is an opportunity to escape from work and tasks that I think of almost 100% of my life. Therefore, I read fiction. Last read: Vladimir Sharov, "Return to Egypt."
Which book from the last read was remembered the most?
In the middle of the year, I read Gillian Flynn's Disappeared book. Very strong piece. Sorry for not giving you interesting technological reading.
Do you use e-readers or prefer paper books?
I only read from the phone and the iPad. Suddenly I discovered the KyBook reader and now I only use it. No, this is not an advertisement.
How long do you sleep?
I was lucky, I go to bed late and get up early. Usually at 8-9 I'm at work. At 2 am I still online. Read on for yourself.
How do you have breakfast?
Quickly and combining breakfast with reading. If you're talking about food, I'm a fan of eggs in the morning. Scrambled eggs, a couple of pieces of meat, tea - and I ran.
What advice you have ever been given can you convey to others?
I had a very wise father. Once we were driving in a crowded trolleybus, I was still a little then. So, I dropped a penny on the floor. Dad did not let me pick it up, saying a terrible phrase:
“Never fuss for a penny. Pull for a penny - tear it up for the ruble. "
Since then I have been trying not to be distracted by trifles and not to think about lost profits. In business terms: maximizing results is more important than minimizing costs.
