Workplaces: Sergey Kaplichny, copywriter at the publishing house "MIF"

What do you do in your work?

My main tasks are reading books (a lot) and writing articles (a lot too).

Also, the Chinese always carry containers with them and constantly drink water. Even the police have a special compartment next to the holster where you can attach a small thermos.

Now I also constantly drink water and sleep 20-40 minutes after lunch. Helps to quickly recuperate and feel refreshed.

What's your hobby?

A few years ago, I made a list of 100 things I’ve never tried in my life. I named this project "", told the readers of my blog about it and started to implement this list. And it was he who determined many of my subsequent hobbies.

I walked 50 kilometers.
Learned how to cook falafel.
Refused the Internet for one week.
Ride a motorcycle.
Learned how to snowboard.
Mastered Photoshop.
I kept silent for three days and did a bunch of different things, which I constantly put off until later.

As soon as I have a free minute, I look at the list, find the unfulfilled item and start to fulfill it. The coolest thing is when people follow my example. Already several hundred people fulfill their lists and pump themselves.

What place does sport take in your life?

Three years ago I signed up for a gym. A friend helped to develop the program and showed what was what. Three times a week in the morning I would drive to the other side of town and pull a barbell. And I loved it.

But due to constant travel and movement, when the breaks between trips to the gym began to be several weeks, I realized that I needed to look for something else.

Stumbled upon Freeletics service. This is an application that contains hundreds of exercises. Best of all, the exercises are done with your own weight. You don't even need to leave home to stay in shape. Perfect for remote workers and avid travelers.

I did trainings in Yekaterinburg, Transnistrian Bendery, Chinese Shenzhen and other cities where I got carried away.

This year I decided to try myself in something completely new. Signed up for boxing. To be honest, I would never have thought that boxing is such a difficult and exciting sport. You need to train a lot, but you should never turn off your head. You need to constantly think about strategy and monitor the behavior of your opponent.

Life hacking from Sergey Kaplichny

I would like to advise readers of Lifehacker to read books, develop, do cool projects and inspire others.

Here are some pieces of art to get you started:

Hallgrimur Helgason's 101 Reykjavik. I read this book for the first time more than seven years ago after watching the film of the same name. I was simply amazed at the amazing talent for juggling words. Finding 101 Reykjavik for sale is very difficult. At one time, I went to Iceland to buy this book in English.
"Foam of Days" by Boris Vian. A very sad work, which was also filmed for a freaky film. As in the previous book, I really liked the way the author plays with words. The sad plot, of course, also cannot but touch.
"More Ben" by Sergei Sakin and Pavel Tetersky. Already become a classic story of two cute assholes who went to conquer London in the late 90s. Soft drugs, shoplifting, harmless machinations, the life of a robotic British and a test of friendship. It has it all, sprinkled with great humor. It's always a pleasure to reread.
Pollyanna by Eleanor Porter. One of the kindest books I've ever read. The young orphan Pollyanna comes to live with her aunt, who is not distinguished by a great love of life. Pollyanna teaches her aunt and everyone around them to enjoy everything they have. It is very interesting then to transfer Pollyannina's "game" to your life and also enjoy everything that happens around you.
The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Classic. I try to reread it at least once a year. I am always discovering something new.

From business literature, I would put the following books in an exclusive package:

"Remote. Office is optional”by Jason Fried and David Hensson. For me, this book was the starting point for my out-of-office life. I tried to work as a freelance before her, but after reading it I finally realized that I had nothing to do in the office. And he didn't work in offices anymore.
"Fuck It. Send everything to …! The Paradoxical Path to Success and Prosperity”by John Parkin. The easiest and most affordable way to comprehend Zen in the modern sinful world is to send everything to hell. One of the best self-help books because the author knows how to find a cool approach to the reader.
“Steal like an artist. 10 lessons of creative self-expression”by Austin Cleon. Just the bible of a modern person who wants to be creative. Too helpful advice for creative people.
“Important years. Why it is not worth putting off life until later. Mag J. The book helped to find answers to pressing questions. I think it is useful for everyone to read, although it is aimed at people in their 20s and 30s.
“Introverts. How to use your personality traits "Susan Kane. A book that helped me better understand my own character, learn to accept myself as I am, and move on, developing positive qualities. It will come in handy for those who are ready to look into themselves.
