How to work effectively. 9 of the rules from the experience of start-ups

I do not even know new victories apparently, but what more can you ask for more than that.Playgrounds not going to change, even though many of my lure new sites appear, new offers, bonuses. It has long been one advertises online roulette, I think I reflect on the game, it is a new one for me. Skeptical to many who play, tell us about the secrets, could win scored and if it is no secret in what amounts of money?

1. Organise repetitive tasks.

Entrepreneurship - is by definition the art of creating systems that create more value with less effort. Startups understand that price dive routine is growing rapidly and prevents the highly perform work for which they are created.

While dealing primarily in mental facilities, there are lots of technological products, which you can use to automate repetitive tasks now. Sanebox hide emails that you do not need to read during the day. LastPass and Dashlane will keep your passwords, so you do not have to memorize more than one login. One of my favorite apps - IFTTT, which allows programming of almost everything on the principle of "If ... then ..." For example, IFTTT sends me an SMS in the morning, when weather forecasters promise rain (that I did not spend time searching for an umbrella and did not return home for him), and all attachments in Gmail automatically saves in Dropbox, so I was not looking for the files in the mail when I need them.

If your time is worth $ 25, $ 50 or $ 500 in chasa, then select the $ 15 on something that someone else instead of you has washed your things, and you will be able to two hours on something to work on. If you need to enter every week tedious data for the report, get a table, which will be for you to collect data from other sources. Such is the philosophy of the entrepreneur, and it will make you more productive.

2. Learn to tell stories.

"Those who tell the stories rule the world."

This American Indian proverb written on the wall in my office. She reminds everyone in the company that narratives - and the way you set out for them - are important.

Entrepreneurs always something pitchat, push. Ideas, products, for investment opportunities. The most important element of a successful pitch - history. And a really cool start-ups are able to draw a great big, full of ambitions, a picture that makes people excited. If there is a skill that will allow you to be seen and remembered, is the ability to perform well, make an impressive presentation and persuasive writing. Entrepreneurs spend more time training and honing of these parts than the lazy fans PowerPoint. Because a startup depends on it.

3. Set aside time when you will not be distracted.

The average employee loses a huge amount of time due to the fact that he was distracted.Successful startups are able to find ways to protect their employees from unnecessary distractions. And smart managers allocate large blocks of time in their calendars to be productive.

4. Separate testing and iterative process.

Ideology Lean Startup requires employers to constantly bang their heads two or more different approaches and make decisions based on the results. What needs to be said on the order page?Play around with two different formulations and choose the one that gives you more clicks. How to ensure that people are more likely to respond to your emails? Try different topics letters, letters different length and different final phrases like "Thanks in advance" and "Regards". In what suit you look more professional? Try two different styles and track compliments.

We are not so well take intuitive decisions, we think. But properly conducted separate test does not lie. And entrepreneurs are constantly compared won before with new ideas.

5. Look for the ratio of 80/20.

In our work, there is a strange phenomenon that is repeated almost always. If you examine your life, in many cases, to see that only 20% of what you're doing, gives you a 80% result. Be productive and being busy - very different things. You want to quadruple your productivity? Focus on the 20% and give up 80% of those that simply allow you to look busy.

6. Do not plan and do.
