Remote Working Part 3 – The ‘kit’ list

Quickbooks Login

self management more….

Before I show you my portfolio of the top Internet tools that will definitely help you to operate remotely, I should discuss one more issue concerning self discipline and specifically to do with keeping your focus and powers of concentration

I’ve uncovered and established a common trait in people who work on the Internet and I’ve been in contact with for quite a long time and I call this trait the fifty min rule. I observed these individuals who concentrate and work for fifty mins. and then always take a complete ten minute rest and are much more productive and produce a substantially greater quality of work than people who don’t have well organised working methods.

OK as promised here is my list of preferred remote working software:

E-Mail

Google Mail doesn’t cost anything. In my experience the search and label (categories) mechanisms are the best implementation I have encountered. So far the only gripe I have is that it runs a bit slow on not so new PC’s

Phone calls

Skype
continually perplexed me as the service performance was appalling, but all credit to the designers at Skype now as they have substantially changed the quality of the service. For just a few bucks a quarter Skype lets me call and conference in any handset and Skype user in the world. The current version of Skype has a wealth of superb functions and there are now plenty of of useful add on applications.

Organising Content

Evernote
has reached over a million users in no time at all – it lets you to store, organise and annotate any type of digital content on the net. Just go check it out…it’s free.

Invoicing, Time and Expenses capture, Accounting and CRM

You probably know that my burning desire to work remotely was originally motivated by Quickbooks Online, a small business accounting software system. But it is easily beaten hands down by the free edition of salesorder.com – a lead to cash system that’s as easy to use as a fork I looked at NetSuite whose pricing (and people) scared me off. My choice here is salesorder.com – Go check it out.

Using a modern bench as versatile seating

Benches are no longer for picnics and yards any more, benches are now an increasingly popular choice for auxiliary furniture for many room types.  Benches like the nelson bench are great for setting a causal and laid back impression in any room and are very inviting The great thing about benches is that they can be used and disguised in so many ways.

A bench is possibly one of the most versatile pieces of furniture in a room. A sleek wooden bench can be dressed up with fancy embroidered pillows or left pristine for a lustrous modern feel. The simple design of a nelson bench allows it to be a canvas for design and can be dressed up or down with simple accessories. If you decide 6 months after buying the bench that you don’t like to color, simply give it a new paint job or buy some new pillows. It’s a perfect piece to keep up to date with the ever changing fashions.

Modern benches can also be extremely useful as storage. If you buy an enclosed bench with hinges, you can easily use it to store books, clothes, DVDs, anything! You’ll have a stylish piece of furniture that’s secretly storing all your miscellaneous goodies.

Another great thing about benches is that they are very inexpensive furniture and you can even make one yourself. A weekend project can easily yield and amazing bench that will be a showpiece in your home. When making a bench at home, make sure to smooth any rough edges and polish the wood. This will make your bench more comfortable and it will be less likely for you to hurt yourself. Also use a wood finish to give the bench a glossy shine as well as sealing in any splinters. Investing in a good wood will also make a drastic difference in the appearance and feel of your bench.

Contact a local lumber yard for mahogany or oak wood; you might even be able to get scrap pieces for free. A rich mahogany or oak may be more expensive but the finished elegance of the bench will be well work the extra dollars. You can save money by only using the expensive wood for the top on the bench and use inexpensive wood for the legs and base, just make sure to stain the woods the same color.

Why Green Tea is Essential to Skin Care

A tea that is good for you and your health is green tea. It is true. In fact, in a recent study, a researcher exposed hundreds of minnows to highly radioactive substances. You would have thought they would all get cancer and die. However, they stayed alive. The reason? They were living in green tea and not water.

You may not like the fact that they hit little minnows with radioactive substances. It is likely that not many people do. However, the results are favorable. Information like that makes me want to bathe in green tea myself, or at least drink about a gallon a day.

More people everyday are realizing how powerful green tea is. Resulting in more and more products containing green tea are out now. Green tea extracts are contained in anything from candy to coffee. Plus there are so many other products containing green tea blends that are available for consumption.

But, all the excitement over green tea hasn’t really been enlightened yet. That would be in the arena of skin care. Rumors are going around about it, but nobody seems to actually be doing anything. What consumers do not get is that not only is green tea amazing for your body and inner organs, it also works great for your skin.

There are tons of antioxidants in green tea. When you drink it, the antioxidants will do many things, like boosting your immune system. Those antioxidants will start working right away when rubbed on your face.

Your skin will love anti oxidants. For instance, they stave off free radicals. Free radicals will attack your skin and cause wrinkles. Occasionally, these free radicals have been known to damage skin so much that the cells will actually become cancerous.

But, green tea skin care can do much more. Green tea extracts will regenerate your skin. They ease both inflammations and discolorations that can be caused by the environment or by the wrong products. Adding any green tea product to your natural skincare program as soon as possible. Whether it is a lotion, a wrinkle cream, a serum or a spritzer, you will soon be glad that you made green tea a priority in your beauty regimen.

TIPS FOR CHOOSING AN ONLINE FLORIST

Manager of Perth florist, Beautiful Bunches enjoys the funny side of life and tells this amusing joke about the industry :
A man wanted Valentine’s Day to be special, so he bought a bottle of absinthe and popped into the florist to order a bouquet of his wife’s favorite flower – white anemones.

Unfortunately, the florist had completely sold out of flowers that day, and could only offer him with a few feathery stems of ferns.

Undeterred, the man then asked for a bouquet to be made from the ferns and the bottle of absinthe. He wrote in a card, put it in the ferns and carried on home.

After a romantic candlelit dinner, he presented his wife with the gift. She took the card, and opened it, reading aloud : “Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.”

With a tear in her eye, she whispered to him lovingly, “Yes, and with fronds like these, who needs anemones.”

However, it’s no joke ordering flowers online from Perth florist, Beautiful Bunches.Customers will get much more than a few meagre fern stems and they’ll always have white anemones in the spring season.   

But how should one go about selecting an online florist ?
The Perth florist says choosing an online florist should be a carefully considered decision.  “It’s vital to choose a florist who has an established reputation and who offers good customer service.
“Customers should always speak to the florist personally if they are unsure of any aspect of the online flower delivery service.By doing that, customers will establish lines of contact and will get individual, personalised service.  If the florist is good, that customer will be reassured that that order, plus any future online orders, will meet expectations. 
It’s important to check that the online florist has valid customer testimonials on the website. 
Sarah also cautions customers against online florists who offer an instant delivery service, as she says that that implies that the arrangement isn’t fresh.   “Although distances in Perth are not huge, it is important that arrangements are fresh and not pre-packed like supermarket salad bags.Delivery is guaranteed.
The online florist website has to be 100% secure with no compromise on customer privacy.
There is no substitute for experience, she said.”As one of the established online florists in Perth, Beautiful Bunches has amassed a great deal of experience over the years in selecting and arranging the best flowers to suit the season and the occasion.  We pride ourselves on constructing interesting and beautiful arrangements, and creating bunches that convey the appropriate message.We know what to look for when buying at the wholesale markets and we know what flowers work well together.As an example, experience tells us that gladioli should only be selected when they have about three to four unopened buds, in order that they will eventually open and flower for a longer time.We also know not to use certain flowers that have very tight buds because we know they won’t open, which will be disappointing.In the florist business, experience is a vital consideration.”
And while Sarah sees the funny side of life, she also knows that as a Perth online florist, she has the serious business of making sure that every flower delivery is a beautiful bunch.
