Remote Working Part 3 – The basic implements
Self discipline more….
Before I give you my portfolio of the top web tools that are sure to assist you to operate remotely, I must discuss one more point related to self discipline and especially to do with keeping your focus and levels of concentration
I’ve spotted and confirmed a consistent trait in acquaintances who work on the net and I’ve been in contact with for some time and I call this behavior the 50 min effect. I discovered these acquaintances who apply themselves and work for fifty mins. and then pause for a complete 10 minute rest and are much more productive and generate a significantly better quality of work than men and women who don’t have such distinct working methods.
OK as promised here is my list of preferred remote working software:
Google Mail won’t cost you a penny. For my money the search & label (a bit like folders) features have no equal. Googlemail can be a little slow on aging PC’s
Phone calls
Skype used to drive me crazy as the service performance was unacceptable, but hats off for the software tech’s at Skype now as they have really improved the quality of the service. For few dollars a quarter ! am able to call and conference in any telephone and Skype user in the world. The current version of Skype has a ton of really good features and there constantly expanding collection of valuable add on applications.
Organising Content
Evernote has secured in excess of a million users in no time at all – it enables you to store, organise and annotate any species of digital media in the Cloud. Just go check it out…it’s free.
Invoicing, Time and Expenses capture, Accounting and CRM
You almost certainly know that my urge to work remotely was originally sparked off by Quickbooks Online, a small business accounting software system. But it is no match for the free edition of salesorder.com – a lead to cash system that’s as easy to use as a hairbrush I looked at NetSuite whose pricing (and people) scared me off. My choice here is salesorder.com – Go check it out.
