Quickbooks online

The most cited reason people fail to succeed at working remotely is they fail to realise the essential requirement of good quality organisation and enduring self discipline.

I have been working remotely for almost a decade since I first unearthed Quickbooks online an ‘on demand’ small business accounting software service and was struck by the fact that if you can perform accounting on the net then why shouldn’t it be workable to perform other key types of of work remotely?

Whilst working remotely has significant advantages there are numerous things that workers don’t realise which turn into problems that cause lower work output and lower motivation. The most significant reason for low productivity in remote employees is distraction and it is a confirmed and well known fact that it can take a person up to twenty minutes to return to their original efficiency level after experiencing a distraction.

Research also shows that people who are continuously affected by disruptions are more likely to suffer from reduced memory ability and are prone to developing mental health issues in old age. We live in an over communicated environment and it is essential that you are acquainted with the issues this causes before you begin working remotely. Whilst working remotely you have to do everything possible to minimise the jeopardy of being disturbed.

Here are the essentials:

1, Get a routine, make sure that everybody knows it and stick to it!

Good examples are a consistent time of day when you read or send mail and make or be available for telephone calls. Before I began working remotely I used to receive well over 200 electronic mails over a period of twenty four hours. Now I think I am unfortunate if I receive more than four. To start over with my electronic mail experience I altered my e-mail address and obsessively took steps to look after the details being passed on to anyone. I then educated every party who I gave my e-mail address to, to use it with special care. I also set up an auto-responder that swiftly informed anyone sending me mail at what time of day I would be reading mail and if an item required my immediate awareness to mark it as ‘Urgent’.

2. Get rid of alerts.

Disable every function that can send you a visual or audible alert. This includes mobile and
ordinary telephones and forms of alerts from e-mail such as on screen pop ups, audible warnings, display changes to your inbox folder and of course facing a window. Get a door on your work room and put up a ‘do not disturb’ sign on it.

In ‘Remote Working Part 3 – Basic Toolkit’ I will reveal my favourite tools and software.
