Remote Working Part 2 – Things you should know about managing yourself

Quickbooks online edition

The number one reason members of both sexes

fail to adjust to operating remotely is they fail to recognise the criticality of having first class organisation and robust self discipline.

I have been operating

remotely for nearly 8 yrs since I first uncovered Quickbooks online an ‘on demand’ small business accounting software online system and was motivated by the fact that if you can do accounting on the net then why shouldn’t it be workable to do other important types of work at a distance?

Whilst working remotely has many benefits there are

numerous traps that people easily fall into which evolve into problems that cause reduced productivity and reduced morale. The major reason for reductions in productivity in remote workers is disruption and it is a verified and well known fact that it can take a professional up to twenty minutes to establish their original efficiency level after experiencing a disruption.

Studies also show that individuals who are continuously

affected by disruptions are more likely to suffer from decreased memory power and are prone to developing mental health trouble in later life. We live in an over communicated world and it is critical that you know the problems this causes before you decide to work remotely. When operating remotely you must do everything possible to reduce the threat of being distracted.

Here are the essentials:

1, Get a consistent schedule, tell everyone about it and rigidly adhere to it!

Good examples are a fixed

time of day when you review or write and send electronic mail and make or will accept telephone calls. Before I began working remotely I used to receive up to a couple of hundred electronic mails over a period of twenty four hours. Now I think I am unfortunate if I get over 4. To ‘restart’ my e-mail experience I changed my e-mail address and tenaciously took precautions to shield the details being made known to anyone. I then ‘trained’ every individual who I gave my e-mail address to, to use it with special care. I also created an automatic reply that swiftly informed anyone sending me mail my routine for reading mail and if an item required my urgent attention to mark it as ‘Urgent’.

2. Get rid of alerts.

Turn off every function that can send you a interruption. This includes portable and
ordinary phones and forms of alerts from e-mail such as visual alerts, warning sounds,

screen changes to your inbox folder and of course facing a window. Get a door on your study and put up a ‘do not disturb’ sign on it.

Must have online tools’ I will reveal my favourite tools and software.
