self management more….
Before I show you my list of the best net tools that will definitely assist you to work remotely, I must bring to your attention one more issue connected with self management and especially to do with maintaining your focus and powers of concentration
I’ve observed and established a consistent habit in men and women who work on the Internet and I’ve known for quite a long time and I call this behavior the 50 min effect. I observed these friends who focus and work for 50 minutes and then pause for a complete 10 minute break and are a significant order of magnitude more effective and generate a considerably higher quality of work than friends who don’t have set working practises.
OK as promised here is my list of choice remote working tools:
Google Mail won’t cost you a penny. For my money the search & label (similar to folders) functions 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 all credit to the designers at Skype now as they have really improved the quality of the service. For just a few bucks a month they enable me to call and conference in any phone and Skype subscriber on the planet. The current edition of Skype has a ton of very practical features and there are now plenty of of valuable add on applications.
Organising Content
Evernote has reached over a million users in a very short space of time – it enables you to store, organise and add notes to any type of digital content on the web. Just go check it out…it’s free.
Invoicing, Time and Expenses capture, Accounting and CRM
You almost certainly know that my burning desire 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 toaster I looked at NetSuite whose pricing (and people) scared me off. My choice here is salesorder.com – Go check it out.
