Quickbooks online

Self discipline more….

Before I present to you my collection of the top web tools that almost certainly assist you to operate remotely, I need to alert you to one more pearl of wisdom related to self discipline and specifically to do with keeping your focus and levels of concentration

I’ve observed and confirmed a consistent habit in colleagues who work online and I’ve known for quite a long time and I call this habit the 50 min effect. I uncovered these men and women who focus and work for 50 minutes and then kick back for a whole 10 mins. rest and are much more productive and generate a significantly better quality of work than members of both sexes who don’t have similar working methods.

OK as promised I present you with my list of favourite remote working online services:

Electronic Mail

Google Mail is free. For my money the search and label (categories) features 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 used to drive me crazy as the connection performance was atrocious, but all credit to the software tech’s at Skype now as they have really improved the quality of the service. For few dollars a month Skype lets me call and conference in any phone and Skype subscriber in the world. The current version of Skype has an abundance of very useful functions and there are now plenty of of useful add ons.

Organising Content

Evernote has connected more than a million users in no time at all – it lets you to store, organise and annotate 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 ambition to work remotely was originally encouraged by Quickbooks Online, a small business accounting software system. But it is no match for the free edition of salesorder.com – a lead to cash system that’s as easy to use as a pc mouse I looked at NetSuite whose pricing (and people) scared me off. My choice here is salesorder.com – Go check it out.
