Obviously not everybody can work remotely as many types of employment require us to go to their place of work or travel to perform their work face to face. But for those of us given the opportunity to work remotely then I thought it would be useful to share my experiences and give some practical wisdom by putting it on the net in the hope that I could give others useful timesavers for adapting to remote working or managing remote workers.

I can tell you that there are groups of self proclaimed ‘gurus’ on the Internet who will try and get you to buy online education for significant sums of money, believe me you don’t need to do this.

I am blessed to be able to work in whatever location I choose and just about everyone who asks me what I do for a living wants to understand how I manage to work remotely. Don’t get me wrong here I am still improving the science of remote working as everyday I come across tribes online who teach me new knowledge and I am always uncovering new systems and processes that make my life easier and improve my productivity.

Over the past 7 years I have steadily adapted my working practices to allow me to do all of my work remotely with a portfolio of internet tools and solid self discipline. One lunchtime whilst exploring the net I uncovered Quickbooks online and this brought to my attention what just might be possible. The encounter with ’hosted’ ‘on demand’ small business accounting software was the turning point for me and the beginning of my ‘remote working history.

I have got to say up front that efficiently working remotely is as much about the software as it is about self management. Working remotely also means getting across to your co-workers, superiors and clients as to what they can expect and how they will stay in touch with you.

In ‘Remote Working Part 2 – Things you should know about managing yourself’ I show you how to focus.
