Self discipline more….
Before I present to you my portfolio of really good web tools that are sure to help you to operate remotely, I must alert you to one more item about self discipline and specifically to do with keeping your focus and levels of concentration
I’ve spotted and confirmed a consistent behavior in acquaintances who work on the web and I’ve been in contact with for over a long time line and I call this habit the fifty minute effect. I observed these individuals who concentrate and work for fifty mins. and then always take a complete ten mins. rest and are a significant order of magnitude more effective and produce a much higher quality of work than individuals who don’t have similar working practises.
OK as promised I present you with my list of favourite remote working web applications:
Electronic Mail
Google Mail doesn’t cost anything. In my experience the search & label (categories) mechanisms have no equal. Googlemail can be a little slow on aging PC’s
Phone calls
Skype occasionally drove me to despair as the connection performance was atrocious, but a big pat on the back for the geeks at Skype now as they have substantially changed the quality of the service. For just a few bucks a month ! can call and conference in any telephone and Skype user on the planet. The current version of Skype has a mass of very practical functions and there constantly expanding collection of useful add on applications.
Organising Content
Evernote has acquired over a million users in a very short space of time – it lets you to store, organise and add notes to any species of digital media in the Cloud. Just go check it out…it’s free.
Invoicing, Time and Expenses capture, Accounting and CRM
You probably know that my dream to work remotely was originally encouraged by Quickbooks Online, a small business accounting software system. 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 kettle I looked at NetSuite whose pricing (and people) scared me off. My choice here is salesorder.com – Go check it out.
