self management more….
Before I present to you my portfolio of the best Internet tools that are sure to assist you to work remotely, I want to bring to your attention one more item related to self discipline and specifically to do with keeping your focus and powers of concentration
I’ve spotted and confirmed a consistent behavior in colleagues who work on the net and I’ve been in contact with for some time and I call this behavior the fifty min effect. I discovered these friends who concentrate and work for fifty minutes and then always take a whole ten mins. rest and are considerably more efficient and produce a considerably higher quality of work than individuals who don’t have well organised working practises.
OK as promised here is my list of choice remote working online services:
Electronic Mail
Google Mail won’t cost you a penny. My friends and I all agree the search and label (a bit like folders) functions have no equal. Googlemail can be a little slow on aging PC’s
Phone calls
Skype occasionally drove me to despair as the service stability was appalling, but all credit to the software tech’s at Skype now as they have substantially changed the quality of the service. For meagre amount of money a month ! can call and conference in any telephone and Skype user on the planet. The current edition of Skype has a mass of superb functions and there are now plenty of of valuable add ons.
Organising Content
Evernote has reached over a million users in no time at all – it lets you to store, organise and annotate any species of digital media up on the Internet. Just go check it out…it’s free.
Invoicing, Time and Expenses capture, Accounting and CRM
You surely know that my dream to work remotely was originally encouraged by Quickbooks Online, a small business accounting software system. But it simply doesn’t even come close to 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.
