Remote Working Part 1 – Summary

Quickbooks online edition

Obviously not all of us is able to work remotely as some vocations require employees to consistently attend their employers premises or travel to perform their tasks in person. But for those of us who can or want to work remotely then I thought it would be useful to share my experiences and offer some practical wisdom by putting it on the Internet in the hope that I could give others helpful ways for adapting to remote working or managing remote workers.

I should warn you that there are a lot of so called ’experts’ online who will try and make you purchase online education for big sums of money, take my word for it you don’t need to do this.

I am fortunate to be permitted to work wherever I choose and just about everyone who asks me what job I do wants to learn how I manage to work remotely. Don’t misinterpret me I am still developing the art of remote working as everyday I discover tribes online who tell me about new methods and I am constantly unearthing new packages and ways that make my life simpler and increase my productivity.

In the past seven years I have slowly but surely adapted my working practices to allow me to do the majority of my work remotely with a box of web tools and robust self management. One afternoon whilst searching the net I discovered Quickbooks online and this brought to my attention what just might be possible. My encounter with ’cloud’ based ‘on demand’ small business accounting software was a significant event for me and the launch pad of my ‘remote working journey’.

I must say up front that effectively working remotely is as much about the tools as it is about self management. Working remotely also means informing your co-workers, supervisors and customers as to what they can expect and how they will communicate with you.

In ‘Remote Working Part 2 – Things you should know about managing yourself’ I show you how to focus.
