Remote Working Part 3 – Best online software
Self discipline more….
Before I show you my kit of really good net tools that almost certainly assist you to work remotely, I wanted to make you aware of one more item connected with self management and specifically to do with keeping your focus and powers of concentration
I’ve identified and verified a common trait in acquaintances who work on the web and I’ve known for over a long time line and I call this trait the fifty minute effect. I discovered these members of both sexes who focus and work for fifty minutes and then take a whole 10 minute break and are much more productive and generate a significantly better quality of work than people who don’t have structured working practises.
OK as promised here is my list of choice remote working software:
Google Mail costs nothing. My friends and I all agree the search & label (similar to folders) mechanisms have no equal. So far the only gripe I have is that it runs a bit slow on not so new PC’s
Phone calls
Skype used to drive me crazy as the call performance was down right horrible, but hats off for the developers at Skype now as they have really improved the quality of the service. For just a few bucks a quarter Skype lets me call and conference in any handset and Skype user on Earth. The latest version of Skype has a mass of very practical functions and there is an ever growing list of valuable add ons.
Organising Content
Evernote has reached in excess of a million users in no time at all – 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 almost certainly know that my dream to work remotely was originally inspired by Quickbooks Online, a small business accounting software web application. But it simply doesn’t even come close to 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.
