There is an abundance of time management tips on the internet, even from us alone.
However, as much as we love time management tips and hacks, sometimes you just need some habits to keep you in check.
Some habits that as long as you are executing and implementing consistently, you have no other option than to stay on track and be productive.
So in this post, we are going to share six concepts to introduce into your business life to stay on track.
Read MoreWe have talked about creating a community within a company and we have talked about 'Why The Employee Package Is More Important Than Ever'.
We have even talked about some of our favourite ways to hire.
But there is the question of should you or should you not hire?
In this post we are going to explore some things you should think about before you hire; whether that is your first hire or simply a new addition to the team, each new hire is equally important.
First up, let’s go to the root of it: why do you want to hire a new person?
Read MoreThe employee package is what a new staff member gets for their service to a company. This is often mistaken for solely monetary, but this could not be further from the truth.
Of course, cold hard cash is what pays the bills and will always be a factor, but, especially the new wave of hires, want more. People want more from their role, to feel fulfilled, to create a lifestyle, to be part of something.
Read MoreWhether you are on the go but still sleep at home, whether it is a new city every night or maybe even a new country, being an on the go entrepreneur can take its toll. The results? Tiredness, lack of energy and a severe lack of time.
We totally get it; sometimes it is all about maximising that layover, minimising the time it takes to get to sleep and improving those morning rituals.
So without further a due, we are going to share our favourite products (that are all under £50) that will enhance and streamline your routine.
Arguably, one of the biggest perks of being a remote worker is that you have full control over your working day.
As well as writing blogs, creating graphics, and scheduling social media, the organisation makes up for a big part of my role as Virtual Office Manager, and my love for organising is part of the reason that Ben asked me to join the Squad.
With this in mind, we thought it would be fun to give you a little insight into my mind - how I keep my day organised and get everything done while wearing so many virtual hats.
With changing attitudes to work life, and massive steps forwards in the technology world, remote working has been gaining momentum over the past decade, with more and more employees walking away from the traditional 9-5 work life and opting for a more #workfromwherever lifestyle.
Read MoreIt is no secret that Barcelona is a beautiful place, full of cosy cafes down tiny side streets.
But when you come here as a remote worker, you see it from an entirely different view than when you were a tourist.
Read MoreYou will know if you have been following Cone for a while that we are 100% cloud-based and remote company.
Some of you may also know, that at the start of the Summer 2018 Ben and I decided to go to Barcelona for 3 months.
The decision was well thought out and planned, as there were a lot of elements to think about.
Read MoreAs a 100% remote working cloud accountancy firm, you can rightly assume that we work from coffee shops a fair bit.
We love to do so, but there are some unspoken rules when it comes to working in coffee shops. I mean it's more like etiquette. I think many people forget the fact that it is a business too.
So whether you are a frequent coffee shop worker or a newbie, I am going to share with you the unspoken coffee shop etiquette.
Read MoreOne of the many things that make us different to your typical accountants is that we’re a 100% cloud-based, remote working accountancy firm. As a member of the Cone Squad, I love the freedom and flexibility that comes with remote working.
If you follow us over on the ‘gram, you’ve probably noticed that from time to time, we’re posting our #WorkFromWherever locations on stories.
Read MoreJuly 2018 marked Cone’s first ‘workation’.
Collectively, we all spent a week away in Barcelona to connect, come together and share our ideas and thoughts on how we can improve our client’s lives, our own self-development and Cone as a company.
Read MoreIn this second instalment of our three-part blog series based on our recent workation in Barcelona, we’re exploring the #ConeSquadWorkation from a team point of view.
The workation was a first experience for each one of us, and it was truly an experience to remember. It gave us the opportunity to bond as a team, be a part of Cone’s future growth, experience remote working abroad, as well as learning and growing both as individuals and as a team.
Read MoreIt had begun.
Our first #ConeSquadWorkation had commenced, and it was my first time seeing someone else in the team (other than Ben) take over our stories.
Read MoreWhether you travel for work or whether you are a remote worker or a digital nomad. When travel and work come together, it can be a beautiful lifestyle or a mess. It really does come down to organisation.
You know that we love anything that streamlines processes or makes life easier.
So we wanted to share with you our favourite apps that have helped us through remote working, workations and many more travel and work-related adventures…
