Remote Working Part 2 – Effective working styles

Quickbooks online edition

The top reason workers fail to succeed at operating remotely is they don’t recognise the need for good organisation and robust self discipline.

I have been operating remotely for over seven years since I first found Quickbooks online an ‘on demand’ small business accounting software service and was inspired by the fact that if you can perform accounting on the net then why shouldn’t you be able to do other key types of of work at a distance?

Whilst working remotely has a lot of positives there are numerous pitfalls which convert into issues that cause lower productivity and lower motivation. The most significant reason for reductions in effectiveness in remote employees is disruption and it is a established and well publicised fact that it can take a person up to twenty minutes to establish their original efficiency level after experiencing a disturbance.

Research also shows that people who are regularly experience disruptions are more likely to be susceptible to decreased memory power and are prone to developing mental health problems in old age. We exist in an over communicated environment and it is important that you recognise the problems this causes before you decide to work remotely. Whilst working remotely you have to do everything possible to reduce the probability of being distracted.

Here are things that really do work:

1, Get a habit, make sure that everybody knows it and stick to it!

Good examples are a fixed time of day when you review or compose and reply to mail and make or receive telephone calls. Before I began working remotely I used to get in the region of two hundred e-mails in 24 hours. Now I think I am unfortunate if I receive over 4. To ’reset’ my e-mail experience I modified my e-mail address and vigorously took precautions to defend the details being made available to anyone. I then ‘trained’ every person who I gave my e-mail address to, to use it prudently. I also created an automatic response that swiftly informed anyone sending me mail my routine for processing mail and if someone 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 cell and
ordinary phones and types of alerts from electronic mail such as display events, beeps, screen changes to your inbox folder and of course facing a window. Get a door on your work place and put up a ‘do not disturb’ sign on it.

In ‘Remote Working Part 3 – My list of essentials’ I will reveal my favourite tools and software.

Beware Faulty Marketing Statements and Practices…

I recently saw a product for gum disease that had a testimonial that said, “My gums look better after one brushing”. That is total nonsense – sorry to say.

There is not a miracle cure that works after one application. I would RUN, not walk, away from any website that promises such nonsense.

As a matter of fact, when it comes to gum disease, there is not a single product that will work for everyone who tries it. Every body’s chemistry and ever body’s situation is different.

This is the same reason that medicine is an art and not a science. here is no medication that works for everyone hands down. There are always exceptions.

Sometimes it requires products in combination to do the job. Or perhaps the right training and techniques are needed. At any rate, gum disease is not really a problem that is so easy to solve. Try OraMd as one possibility

I’ve studied this subject for a while due to the need to solve my own problem and now I study it because it interests me. The body is a complicated organism and what works for one may not work for another.

I’m definitely an advocate of products that I have personally found to be useful, such as an ozone generator for ozonating water. But there is also some basics that need to be understood about gum disease. You need to understand what you are fighting so that you can be sure that it doesn’t come back. You also need to be effective in what you are doing.

Sure you can throw a board over a broken window. But a bit more skill is needed to repair that window properly. Look to the links below for more information on what you can to do to stop gum disease and prevent it from coming back. Some products, like therabreath may have more value than others. Again, one size does NOT fit all.
