Short interview with my teacher Zafiropolus Nicolas!:)

Sorry guys, I don’t know about the technical error in medium, but if you want to watch this video with one of the best teachers in KBTU about his time- management, please follow the link to my page vk-videos-for medium blog http://vk.com/id83438980

I have asked him four question:

Do you have a certain method for managing your time?

Do you use “to do” lists or any other way of remembering important things that you have to do?

What advice could you give to students about time-management?

If you read books on time-management are there any you could suggest to students?

I have read the book “Getting Things Done” in Russian, and the meaning in all chapters is the same,but in different words.By the way I subscribed interesting notes to myself :)

“The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation. The hand is more important than the eye. . . . The hand is the cutting edge of the mind. — J. Bronowski”

“Don’t just do something. Stand there. — Rochelle Myer”

“art of resting the mind and the power of dismissing from it all care and worry is probably one of the secrets of our great men. — Capt. J. A. Hatfield”

And the last one is my favourite, it motivates me to be more specific in completing assignments.

“If you’re not sure why you’re doing something, you can never do enough of it.”

To sum it up, GTD is based on very sound principles, and really helps to lead a balanced, coherent and productive life. Of course, the development of GTD requires a sufficiently serious effort and a willingness to change much in your life ❤
