Dmitrii was born in Odesa, Ukraine, but has been living in Poland for the past 10 years. There, he runs his own business that assists entrepreneurs in setting up their businesses in Poland and ensuring compliance with Polish regulations. When he's not decoding legal documents, you might find him playing his guitar, traveling, or learning about human psychology.
The challenge of going through hundreds of PDFs a day
Dmitrii's workday typically starts with checking emails, responding to clients, and preparing documents for ongoing personal and client matters. With 200-300 emails and PDF attachments to deal with daily, he needs to process information, make adjustments, mark something quickly, and, if there's sensitive information that can't be forwarded, either remove or hide the text. He also often searches for keywords in the text.
PDF Expert: magic is happening right here and now
Dmitrii says that it’s easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of information and small repetitive tasks. Time management and maximizing productivity are his main challenges - and something that his business really depends on.
Amidst the digital paperwork chaos, Dmitrii leans on PDF Expert. Five years ago, he chose it because it was an easy-to-understand product for quick document editing, signing capabilities, glitch-free operation, and, most importantly, prompt support. If something weren't working, he'd get an update in a short time, and the problem would be solved.
For Dmitrii, PDF Expert is worth every penny and more. It has helped Dmitrii execute his job more efficiently and speed up his projects.
Take, for instance, a typical high-pressure moment where the app helped in moving the project across the finish line:
“Five minutes before a flight, I receive a call saying it's crucial to get a signed certificate right now, even just a scan, to move the case forward. In 20 seconds, I have the file in front of me. I have the mobile version of PDF Expert on my phone, where all stamps and signatures are synchronized. In a matter of seconds, I add a signature and a couple of stamps and send it to the broker. The result? By the time I land at my destination, everything is done in my inbox. The goods have cleared customs, and the client sent a thank-you letter and even paid extra as a token of appreciation. PDF Expert is not just about time or money. For me and my clients, it's magic happening right here and now.”
3 productivity tips from Dmitrii
We asked Dmitrii to share his most important productivity tip, so here is his piece of wisdom:
- Never put off until tomorrow what you postponed from yesterday. Write down everything that's important.
- Optimize your time using the digital world (software, process optimization).
- Always remember yourself and your leisure time. If there's no "charge" in you, none of the tools and tips will help you. Look for ways to save your working time and optimize it so that there's more time for self-improvement and for the world around you. Value your time and life.
We absolutely love this sentiment, as it taps into the topic of sustainable productivity - something that we’ve been interested in for a long time. Sustainable productivity is the ability to generate and maintain high levels of efficiency without causing harm to one's well-being.
