self management more….

Before I present to you my portfolio of the best web tools that almost certainly assist you to operate remotely, I want to alert you to one more item connected withself discipline and specifically to do with maintaining your focus and powers of concentration

I’ve identified and verified a common trait in people who work on the net and I’ve known for some time and I call this habit the 50 minute effect. I spotted these colleagues who focus and work for fifty mins. and then make themselves take a whole 10 mins. break and are considerably more effective and generate a substantially greater quality of work than friends who don’t have set working practises.

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

E-Mail

Google Mail doesn’t cost anything. But in my opinion the search & label (categories) features are superior to anything I have previously seen. The downside is it can be a bit slow on older machines

Phone calls

Skype continually perplexed me as the connection stability was unacceptable, but three cheers for the coders at Skype now as they have considerably refined the quality of the service. For meagre amount of money a month ! am able to call and conference in any phone and Skype user on the planet. The current edition of Skype has an abundance of really good features and there is an ever growing list of practical add ons.

Organising Content

Evernote has secured in excess of a million users in no time at all – it enables 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 urge to work remotely was originally sparked off 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 hairbrush I looked at NetSuite whose pricing (and people) scared me off. My choice here is salesorder.com – Go check it out.
