self management more….

Before I give you my list of the best net tools that are sure to assist you to work remotely, I must make you aware of one more point concerning self management and specifically to do with maintaining your focus and powers of concentration

I’ve spotted and confirmed a consistent behavior in men and women who work on the Internet and I’ve been in contact with for some time and I call this trait the fifty minute effect. I uncovered these men and women who concentrate and work for fifty mins. and then kick back for a whole 10 minute break and are considerably more effective and generate a considerably higher quality of work than members of both sexes who don’t have set working practises.

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

E-Mail

Google Mail is free. For my money the search & label (a bit like folders) mechanisms are the best implementation I have encountered. So far the only gripe I have is that it runs a bit slow on not so new PC’s

Phone calls

Skype continually perplexed me as the call stability was unacceptable, but hats off for 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 subscriber in the world. The current edition of Skype has a collection of superb functions and there are now plenty of of valuable add ons.

Organising Content

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

Invoicing, Time and Expenses capture, Accounting and CRM

You definitely know that my burning desire to work remotely was originally sparked off by Quickbooks Online, a small business accounting software system. But it is shadowed by 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.
