Remote Working Part 3 – Top tools and tricks
By racer48 | September 26, 2009
self management more….
Before I give you my collection of really good web tools that almost certainly help you to operate remotely, I need to discuss one more point connected with self management and specifically to do with maintaining your focus and levels of concentration
I’ve observed and verified a consistent behavior in acquaintances who work on the web and I’ve known for over a long time line and I call this trait the fifty minute rule. I identified these contacts who concentrate and work for 50 mins. and then always take a whole ten minute rest and are a significant order of magnitude more efficient and generate a significantly better quality of work than members of both sexes who don’t have such distinct working methods.
OK as promised for your consideration is my list of favourite remote working software:
Electronic Mail
Google Mail has a price tag of zero. In my experience the search and label (a bit like folders) features are second to none. Googlemail can be a little slow on aging PC’s
Phone calls
Skype used to infuriate me as the connection stability was appalling, but hats off for the coders at Skype now as they have really improved the quality of the service. For few dollars a quarter Skype lets me call and conference in any phone and Skype user on Earth. The latest version of Skype has a ton of superb features and there are now plenty of of practical add ons.
Organising Content
Evernote has reached more than a million users in no time at all – it enables you to store, organise and annotate any type of digital content up on the Internet. Just go check it out…it’s free.
Invoicing, Time and Expenses capture, Accounting and CRM
You probably know that my ambition to work remotely was originally motivated 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 toaster I looked at NetSuite whose pricing (and people) scared me off. My choice here is salesorder.com – Go check it out.
