Remote Working Part 3 – Best online software
self management more….
Before I present to you my arsenal of the best net tools that I promise will assist you to operate remotely, I must write about one more item related to self discipline and specifically to do with keeping your focus and powers of concentration
I’ve spotted and verified a common behavior in contacts who work on the net and I’ve been in contact with for a substantial period and I call this habit the 50 min rule. I uncovered these contacts who apply themselves and work for fifty minutes and then make themselves take a complete 10 minute break and are much more effective and generate a much higher quality of work than men and women who don’t have such distinct working practises.
OK as promised for your consideration is my list of favourite remote working tools:
Electronic Mail
Google Mail costs nothing. In my experience the search and label (categories) functions are second to none. The downside is it can be a bit slow on older machines
Phone calls
Skype continually perplexed me as the service stability was unacceptable, but a big pat on the back for the software tech’s at Skype now as they have considerably refined the quality of the service. For few dollars a month they enable me to call and conference in any telephone and Skype user on Earth. The current edition of Skype has a ton of excellent features and there constantly expanding collection of valuable add ons.
Organising Content
Evernote has secured over a million users in no time at all – it enables you to store, organise and annotate any species 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 dream to work remotely was originally inspired by Quickbooks Online, a small business accounting software web application. 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 fork I looked at NetSuite whose pricing (and people) scared me off. My choice here is salesorder.com – Go check it out.
