How professionals work. Olga Polishchuk, digital director of the Strelka Institute
“How professionals work” again at Megamind.
Before the May holidays, we had time to ask Olga Polischuk, the digital director of the Strelka Institute for Media, Architecture and Design , and the co-founder of Vector, the Vector City Urban Business School. Her word.
Current Location:
Moscow, Russia.
')
Current place of work:
Strelka Institute for Media, Architecture and Design.
One word that best describes how you work:
Smartly
How many hours a day do you work?
From 10 to 12
Current mobile device:
iPhone 5c
Current computer:
Macbook air 11
Without any applications, programs, utilities you can not live?
At work, everything is simple for me: Basecamp is our everything, Skype is the entire working correspondence is operational, Dropbox is a lot of illustrative material to be stored not only on the server, I don’t like Exel, but the order is order. I have long installed the Facebook Eraser plugin and removed the application from my phone and I am happy, but Facebook messenger - when you need to quickly find everything and everyone, it stands. Instagram - in addition to relaxing the brain, a unique source of links to useful projects, while you immediately understand everything about people, Alpha Click - replaces everything connected with finances. Here to launch our new project, Vector Github has mastered to the full.
Which life hack helps you save time?
Disconnected Facebook feed, things went faster. I set executable tasks for the day, with experience comes an understanding of time. Once I spotted how much time basic actions I had, it is now easy to evaluate the whole process. And I am still writing a big task for micro actions.
What kind of to-do manager do you use?
A paper notebook — there I write and draw, helps to think, and Notes as a habit. I have not grown together with one to do manager, alas. But I respect the basecamp very much.
What do you listen when you work?
My playlist VK, I'm from Petersburg.
What are you reading now?
The Flat White Economy, Douglas McWilliams. Very cool, I advise everyone, alas, it is not there yet in Russian, it seems.
Which book from the last read was remembered the most?
I'm a fan of Scott McQuire's Media City, which was published last year in Russian by our publisher Strelka Press. I now give her all and forever from there I cite examples, straight evangelist. Honestly, not all our books are interesting to me, but I read this with a pencil in my hands, I had 10 ideas in the process.
Do you use e-readers or prefer paper books?
I read from the reading room what is not yet found on paper in Russia, but from all the trips I cite paper. Here, from Australia, the last time was half the time: I guess this process of reading is closer to me and I’m always on design.
How long do you sleep?
The last time is 6 hours, but our summer program will start now and the Strelka joke: “I have already slept this week” will become super relevant.
Are you an owl or a lark?
I am a terrible owl, but in addition to work there was life and sport, I had to become a morning person.
How do you have breakfast?
A glass of water, buckwheat or oatmeal on the water.
How do you spend your time on the way to work / from work?
I love the subway - it is interesting for me to watch people, but we still work with the city. And in the summer it is great, and this is a separate buzz along the embankment to get to Strelka.
What advice you have ever been given can you convey to others?
Well, like all girls in childhood, I read Gone with the Wind, so Scarlet O'Hara is always relevant: "I will not think about it today, I will think about it tomorrow." This is for those who want everything at once. In general, my dad always says: “I need to sleep with thought,” I agree with him.
