Working from home is not an easy job because you have to be smart
managing two or three different kinds of tasks at one time. So how would
you be productive when you have to do several things at one time? Well!
There are many tools that could help you to increase your productivity.
1. Dropbox
This is my favourite online tool. It makes things easy for you because of many reasons like
- Easy to use and install. You can install and start using it in no time.
- If you have employees who are writing articles for you because you have outsourced your job to them then they could submit their work through Dropbox. In a moment you would get their file that they just completed.
- Then it is free to use. However, there is a limit to it and if you want more space then you have to pay. But, if you are working with word file then you don’t need extra space and you could use Dropbox for free. If you have videos then you might have to buy a premium one otherwise it is free.
So these were few things about Dropbox I liked very much.
2. Google Docs
Next great online tool is Google Docs. Yes it is quite similar to MS Office however the best part of this online software is that you can share it with everyone.
Moreover, there are many applications in Google Docs that other software do not have. So some of the benefits of Google Docs are
- Google docs is based on cloud computing and you can share data with anyone
- You do not have to worry about the data once you created a file. Suppose you have a word document or excel spreadsheet then no tension of losing it because Google takes care of it.
- It is free of cost and it also offers many other applications like creating images which are simple to use and comes very handy.
3. Evernote
Evernote is a tool that helps you to increase your productivity because you can plan your tasks easily.
I use evernote to jot down certain things by creating a time table. You can prioritize your job using this application.
You must remember that work from home jobs are very tiresome hence
you have to have plan them in a right order so that you can complete it
as soon as possible.
- Create list of tasks and plan as you like
- It is free and you can use all its features
- Capture anything and access your work anywhere
- Find new things on the internet
4. Skype
Another great tool for increasing your productivity is Skype. If you
want to take help for someone about your job then you could use Skype to
stay connected.
You do not have to waste money on calling someone because you could do it for free on Skype. You can use Skype for things like
- Stay connected with your employees or other people in your community for free
- Take guidance from others and talk to them regarding your home job
- You do not waste any money on phone calls as it can be use for video conferencing also
5. Fiverr
You might have heard about this website, if you don’t then you are
greatly missing something. Fiverr is a place on Internet where you could
get things done for just $5.
