Remote Working Part 1 – Summary
Obviously not everyone can work remotely as many jobs require us to go to their place of work or travel to undertake their tasks in person. But for those of us who can or want to work remotely then I thought it would be useful to share what I have learned and give some practical directions by writing and publishing it on the net with the sole objective of providing useful ways for adapting to remote working or supervising remote workers.
I can tell you that there are a substantial number of self proclaimed ‘gurus’ out there who will try and make you purchase guides for substantial sums of cash, trust me you don’t need to do this.
I am lucky enough to be able to work anywhere I choose and just about everybody who asks me what I do for a living wants to learn how I manage to work remotely. Don’t misinterpret me I am still learning about the science of remote working as everyday I discover people on the web who teach me new knowledge and I am always discovering new systems and ways that make my life easier and make me more efficient.
During the past 7 years I have significantly adapted my working practices to enable me to do all of my work remotely with a box of web tools and solid self discipline. One day whilst exploring the Internet I uncovered Quickbooks online and this made me think about what just might be possible. My discovery of web based ‘on demand’ small business accounting software was a life changing event for me and the beginning of my ‘remote working journey’.
I have to tell you up front that successfully working remotely is as much about the software as it is about self discipline. Working remotely also means stating to your team members, supervisors and customers as to what they can expect and how they will maintain contact with you.
In ‘Remote Working Part 2 – Effective working styles’ I talk about how to focus.
