self management more….

Before I show you my arsenal of my favourite Internet tools that I promise will help you to work remotely, I should bring to your attention one more point connected with self management and specifically to do with maintaining your focus and levels of concentration

I’ve discovered and established a common trait in people who work online and I’ve known for some time and I call this habit the fifty minute effect. I discovered these colleagues who focus and work for fifty mins. and then take a complete 10 mins. rest and are a significant order of magnitude more productive and generate a substantially greater quality of work than colleagues who don’t have similar working methods.

OK as promised for your consideration is my list of favourite remote working tools:

E-Mail

Google Mail won’t cost you a penny. For my money the search and label (categories) features are most definitely the best I have so far discovered. Googlemail can be a little slow on aging PC’s

Phone calls

Skype occasionally drove me to despair as the service performance was unacceptable, but all credit to the geeks at Skype now as they have considerably refined the quality of the service. For just a few bucks a quarter ! am able to call and conference in any handset and Skype subscriber on Earth. The latest version of Skype has an abundance of very practical features and there constantly expanding collection of useful add ons.

Organising Content

Evernote has reached more than a million users in a very short space of time – it enables you to store, organise and annotate any type of digital media in the Cloud. Just go check it out…it’s free.

Invoicing, Time and Expenses capture, Accounting and CRM

You definitely know that my desire to work remotely was originally sparked off by Quickbooks Online, a small business accounting software web application. But it is easily beaten hands down by the free edition of salesorder.com – a lead to cash system that’s as easy to use as a pencil I looked at NetSuite whose pricing (and people) scared me off. My choice here is salesorder.com – Go check it out.
