"How professionals work" again in the ranks.
Between the May holidays, we were able to write down the answers to questions from Nikita Ershov - Director of Business Agency Development at
Socialist Group . He will tell the rest on his own.
Current Location:Moscow.
')
Current place of work:Socialist Group, Business Development Director.
One word that best describes how you work:It is infectious.
How many hours a day do you work?Depends on many factors. Usually 10-12 hours, but I never stop thinking even at night.
Current mobile device:iPhone 6.
Current computer:Macbook Air.
Without any applications, programs, utilities you can not live?Facebook, WhatsApp, Shazam, Instagram, Safari, Keynote, Powerpoint, Excel, Traktor.
Which life hack helps you save time?Layfhaka two: one - about concentration, the second - about optimization.
- Close the safari, put the phone in the backpack, sit in silence and think.
- Learn and work behind the wheel. Every day I spend about 2 hours in the car, it would be a pity to lose this time. English radio stations - not to forget the language, audiobooks - not to be stupid, and silence, if you need to invent.
What kind of to-do manager do you use?Everything is trivial: a calendar with reminders, notes and a piece of paper with a pen. Paper with a pen is closest to me: all tasks are always before my eyes.
What do you listen when you work?Depends on the type of work: when you need to invent, you need complete silence. When to issue, analyze, etc. - BBC radio 1xtra
What are you reading now?So it turns out that I am simultaneously trying to read several books. 1) André Ruillé about photography, 2) Charles S. Jacobs “Neuromanagement” and 3) Martin Lindstrom Buyology. It's funny, but all of them are not fiction at all.
Which book from the last read was remembered the most?From the most recent - Malcolm Gladwell “The Tipping Point: How To Make A Big Difference” is about why and how epidemics are born: from fashion to crime. And how to make your product really popular. A very entertaining book for someone who wants to understand why he suddenly began to like New Balance.
Do you use e-readers or prefer paper books?I like paper, but I don’t always manage to take a paper book with me. If it does not work, I read from a laptop or phone. There are no special gadgets.
How long do you sleep?At some point, I realized that in order to be productive, I need to sleep 8 hours. Now, with all my might, I try to find an extra 8 hours to sleep in a day. It turns out not always, but I aspire.
Are you an owl or a lark?I am an owl that suffers that lark. The Moscow rhythm of life does not allow so far to go to bed at 12 and get up at 7, but I really want to. So far it turns out to go to bed at 2 and get up at 8.
How do you have breakfast?Carbohydrates. I never thought that I would answer that way, but the last year was them: oatmeal, buckwheat ... not very fun, but nutritious. Thanks to the coach and Sekta.
How do you spend your time on the way to work / from work?I go to work behind the wheel, so I spend time as I described in life hacking: I study and work. Sometimes I listen to news on BusinessFM, but, honestly, lately I try not to spoil their mood.
What advice you have ever been given can you convey to others?Once I was told that the world is huge and there are no limits to human possibilities. All that a person wants and can come up with - he can realize. Everything. For this you need to work, but it's worth it. Since then, I have been inventing, I work a lot, and it's really worth it.
I think this is one of the basic thoughts that small children need to talk about. They should know that their world depends only on them.
