Quickbooks online

The top reason individuals fail to adapt to working remotely is they don’t see the need for excellent organisation and enduring self discipline.

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

Whilst working remotely has many benefits there are numerous traps that people easily fall into which lead to problems that result in cuts in work output and lower motivation. The most cited reason for decreases in effectiveness in remote professionals is interruption and it is a confirmed and well publicised fact that it can take a person up to 20 mins to establish their original output level after experiencing a disruption.

Studies also show that individuals who are continuously affected by disturbances are more likely to suffer from decreased memory ability and are prone to developing mental health problems in later life. We live in an over communicated time and it is essential that you recognise the issues this causes before you begin working remotely. When working remotely you should do everything feasible to mitigate the threat of being disrupted.

Here’s how I do it:

1, Get a consistent schedule, communicate it to absolutely everyone and rigidly adhere to it!

Good examples are a consistent time of day when you review or compose and reply to electronic mail and make or will accept telephone calls. Before I began working remotely I used to receive well over 200 electronic mails every 24 hours. Now I think I am unfortunate if I receive greater than five. To ‘restart’ my e-mail experience I changed my e-mail address and vigorously took precautions to look after the details being passed on to anyone. I then made sure everyone who I gave my e-mail address to, to use it wisely and sparingly. I also set up an automatic response that swiftly informed anyone sending me mail my schedule for reading mail and if someone must have my immediate attention to mark it as ‘Urgent’.

2. Get rid of alerts.

Turn off every feature that can send you a perceptible alert. This includes portable and
ordinary handsets and forms of alerts from e-mail such as display events, beeps, screen changes to your inbox folder and of course facing a window. Get a door on your office and put up a ‘do not disturb’ sign on it.
