Remote Working Part 3 – What should be in your tool box

Quickbooks online edition

self management more….

Before I share with you my collection of the top web tools that are sure to help you to work remotely, I should bring to your attention one more point about self discipline and especially to do with keeping your focus and powers of concentration

I’ve identified and verified a common behavior in men and women who work on the web and I’ve known for quite a long time and I call this trait the 50 min effect. I discovered these members of both sexes who apply themselves and work for fifty mins. and then kick back for a complete 10 mins. break and are considerably more efficient and produce a much higher quality of work than men and women who don’t have similar working practises.

OK as promised for your consideration is my list of preferred remote working web applications:

E-Mail

Google Mail won’t cost you a penny. For my money the search and label (categories) mechanisms are most definitely the best I have so far discovered. The only disadvantage so far is that I have seen it run quite slowly on lower spec.computers

Phone calls

Skype
used to infuriate me as the connection quality and reliability was appalling, but three cheers for the geeks at Skype now as they have really improved the quality of the service. For just a few bucks a month ! am able to call and conference in any phone and Skype subscriber on Earth. The current edition of Skype has a mass of very practical features and there are now plenty of of valuable add on applications.

Organising Content

Evernote
has connected more than a million users in no time at all – it enables you to store, organise and add notes to any type of digital content on the web. Just go check it out…it’s free.

Invoicing, Time and Expenses capture, Accounting and CRM

You probably know that my ambition to work remotely was originally motivated 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 kettle I looked at NetSuite whose pricing (and people) scared me off. My choice here is salesorder.com – Go check it out.
