Remote Working Part 1 – Summary
Obviously not all of us can work remotely as many jobs require us to go to their place of work or travel to perform their duties in person. But for those of us who are able to work remotely then I thought it would be useful to share what I have learned and present some practical directions by writing and publishing it on the web in the hope that I could give others valuable timesavers for adapting to remote working or managing remote workers.
I can tell you that there are a lot of so called ’experts’ online who will try and persuade you to purchase videos for large sums of money, believe me you don’t need to do this.
I am lucky enough to be allowed to work anywhere I choose and just about everyone who asks me what work I do wants to know how I manage to work remotely. Don’t get the wrong idea I am still developing the science of remote working as each day I discover tribes online who show me new tricks and I am constantly uncovering new systems and processes that make my life easier and improve my productivity.
Over the past 7 years I have immensely adapted my working methods to enable me to do the whole of my work remotely with a selection of internet tools and rigid self discipline. One lunchtime whilst searching the Internet I discovered Quickbooks online and this got me thinking about what just might be possible. The encounter with online ‘on demand’ small business accounting software was a pivotal moment for me and the beginning of my ‘remote working career.
I must say up front that efficiently working remotely is as much about the software as it is about self management. Working remotely also means stating to your co-workers, managers and clients as to what they can expect and how they will stay in touch with you.
In ‘Remote Working Part 2 – Things you should know about managing yourself’ I talk about how to focus.
