Top 5 Home Office Productivity Tools
Filed in archive home office tools on June 13, 2007
If you would like to be efficient while working from home, of course, you need tools that will make it a lot easier for you to meet deadlines on turning the deliverables. Here are the top home office productivity tools that I can't live without:
1. PC with Internet Connection
Of course, if you are an online entrepreneur, you simply can't exist without a computer with a reliable broadband Internet connection, an online conferencing software and some other important applications. I am a Windows fan although I find Mac sleek, too. Which do you use? Mac or Windows? Why?
2. Handy Calculator
I am no accountant but invoices and the eternal dollar rate fluctuation made me become bestfriends with my Casio calculator.
3. Whiteboard
I love project management software like Backpack and Zoho. But for tasks that I would rather not monitor online, my trusty whiteboard never fails me. Also, the progress with each of the simpler tasks that I accomplish is easier to track if they are written on the whiteboard.
4. Corkboard
Seeing bills pile up is one of my Motivators to work harder. I always pin these bills on the corkboard where I can easily see them so that I can focus on making money in stead of dilly-dallying because bills have to be paid.
5. Timer
A few minutes of answering emails and a few minutes of reading blog feeds and a few minutes of surfing can easily add up and eat your time that you could have spent more productively on your home business tasks. Using a timer to be reminded that I'm spending too much time over non-productive activities help a lot on keeping me focused on what's important.
