Self discipline more….
Before I share with you my kit of my favourite web tools that almost certainly help you to work remotely, I need to make you aware of one more issue connected with self management and specifically to do with keeping your focus and powers of concentration
I’ve observed and established a consistent trait in members of both sexes who work on the Internet and I’ve been in contact with for quite a long time and I call this trait the 50 minute effect. I identified these men and women who apply themselves and work for fifty mins. and then pause for a whole ten mins. break and are a significant order of magnitude more efficient and generate a much higher quality of work than members of both sexes who don’t have such distinct working methods.
OK as promised here is my list of favourite remote working tools:
Electronic Mail
Google Mail costs nothing. For my money the search & label (similar to folders) features are superior to anything I have previously seen. The downside is it can be a bit slow on older machines
Phone calls
Skype used to drive me crazy as the service performance was unacceptable, but hats off for the developers at Skype now as they have really improved the quality of the service. For few dollars a quarter Skype lets me call and conference in any handset and Skype subscriber in the world. The current edition of Skype has an abundance of very useful functions and there constantly expanding collection of practical add on applications.
Organising Content
Evernote has connected over a million users in no time at all – it enables you to store, organise and add notes to any type of digital content up on the Internet. Just go check it out…it’s free.
Invoicing, Time and Expenses capture, Accounting and CRM
You definitely know that my calling to work remotely was originally motivated by Quickbooks Online, a small business accounting software system. But it is shadowed by the free edition of salesorder.com – a lead to cash system that’s as easy to use as a pencil I looked at NetSuite whose pricing (and people) scared me off. My choice here is salesorder.com – Go check it out.
