Remote Working Part 3 – Must have online tools
Written by myworldplus on Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 in MLM.
Self discipline more….
Before I share with you my kit of my favourite online tools that almost certainly help you to operate remotely, I wanted to bring to your attention one more point connected with self management and specifically to do with maintaining your focus and powers of concentration
I’ve observed and confirmed a common behavior in colleagues who work on the Internet and I’ve been in contact with for quite a long time and I call this habit the 50 minute rule. I identified these individuals who focus and work for fifty mins. and then always take a whole ten minute break and are considerably more productive and produce a much higher quality of work than colleagues who don’t have set working methods.
OK as promised I present you with my list of favourite remote working tools:
Google Mail is free. In my experience the search & label (categories) features are second to none. Googlemail can be a little slow on aging PC’s
Phone calls
Skype continually perplexed me as the call performance was appalling, but all credit to the software tech’s at Skype now as they have really improved the quality of the service. For few dollars a quarter ! can call and conference in any handset and Skype user on Earth. The latest version of Skype has a ton of very practical features and there are now plenty of of valuable add ons.
Organising Content
Evernote has acquired in excess of a million users in no time at all – it lets you to store, organise and add notes to any species of digital media 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 dream to work remotely was originally encouraged by Quickbooks Online, a small business accounting software system. 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.
