self management more….

Before I show you my collection of the top online tools that I promise will assist you to operate remotely, I must alert you to one more point connected with self discipline and especially to do with maintaining your focus and levels of concentration

I’ve spotted and verified a consistent behavior in colleagues who work online and I’ve been in contact with for some time and I call this trait the fifty minute rule. I identified these contacts who concentrate and work for 50 mins. and then pause for a whole 10 minute break and are much more productive and produce a significantly better quality of work than members of both sexes who don’t have similar working methods.

OK as promised for your consideration is my list of choice remote working online services:

Electronic Mail

Google Mail has a price tag of zero. For my money the search & label (categories) functions are superior to anything I have previously seen. The only disadvantage so far is that I have seen it run quite slowly on lower spec.computers

Phone calls

Skype occasionally drove me to despair as the service stability was appalling, but three cheers for the software tech’s at Skype now as they have really improved the quality of the service. For meagre amount of money a month they enable me to call and conference in any handset and Skype user on Earth. The latest version of Skype has a collection of superb functions and there is an ever growing list of useful add on applications.

Organising Content

Evernote has acquired in excess of a million users in no time at all – it enables you to store, organise and annotate any species of digital media up on the Internet. Just go check it out…it’s free.

Invoicing, Time and Expenses capture, Accounting and CRM

You surely know that my burning desire to work remotely was originally inspired 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 hairbrush I looked at NetSuite whose pricing (and people) scared me off. My choice here is salesorder.com – Go check it out.
