SOFTWARE AND SMART WORKING - We live in a historic period of great changes. We are witnessing a real paradigm shift regarding work as it has been understood until today. Work is no longer about the fixed place, standard hours, lunch break, and meal vouchers.
In recent years, we have seen the decline of those resistances that hindered the spread of a practice now very widespread globally: smart working. Before delving into the topic related to software for smart working, let's briefly discuss this global phenomenon.
What is smart working and what does it mean
After the cell phone, TV, and watch, now even work is becoming smart, where smart indicates a happy match between the reduction of company costs related to productivity and the increase of individual performance; it indicates a context in which the individual needs of the worker are tempered, in a complementary manner, with those of the company.
Among the many definitions of smart working that I have read, the one I like the most is "the cultural and technological evolution of the workplace."
Smart working means being able to work productively regardless of the context, it means knowing how to organize one's work based on short and long-term goals, it means working effectively and efficiently, that is, doing the right things in the right way.
Smart working transcends the idea of work tied to a specific place or time: everything is a function of the goals we set and the growth we want to achieve.
Taskomat is the best software for smart working
In two other articles, I explained why Taskomat is the best software for productivity and the best software for time management. In this article, we see why Taskomat is the best software for smart working.
Smart working does not mean working from home. As we said, the concept of smart working has more to do with the concept of goals and growth rather than the concept of working from home. Ultimately, smart working is not synonymous with remote working, nor with nomad working. Smart working is a different way of understanding work, no longer tied to a qualifying context (such as the office) but to goals to be achieved.
Smart working breaks the axiom that those who stay longer in the office are more productive than others. Being in the office does not mean working, especially it does not mean working productively. To be productive in the smart working paradigm, it is not necessary to linger in the office, it simply requires doing the right things in the right way.
Given this, let's see why Taskomat is the best software for smart working:
- With Taskomat, it is easy to organize your work by goals. Taskomat allows you to create work units with a predetermined deadline and to plan day by day backwards all the activities needed to complete it.
- With Taskomat, it is easy to track the time spent completing activities. Taskomat has a powerful time tracking engine that you can use to monitor your progress toward your goal.
- With Taskomat, it is easy to be effective and efficient. Taskomat allows you to calculate and track many KPIs related to your operations, including your Effectiveness and Efficiency.
- With Taskomat, it is easy to see if we are achieving our growth goal. Taskomat allows you to easily set your annual revenue goal and monitor your progress towards its achievement daily.
- With Taskomat, it is easy to stay motivated during long projects. Taskomat allows you to measure your performance and organizes the data into easy-to-understand charts: seeing your progress is always a formidable boost for your achievement.
- With Taskomat, it is easy to stay focused and productive. Taskomat is designed to maximize individual productivity and optimize performance. The concept of timeboxing combined with planning and single-tasking form an explosive mix that allows you to get the best out of yourself, regardless of the workplace.
Taskomat has everything you need to manage work in a smart way.
Taskomat makes smart working accessible
A kanban board is not enough to manage your work smartly. A generic project management tool is not enough to work smartly. Managing a project remotely does not mean doing smart work.
Smart working is much more. As mentioned, smart working means working based on one's own goals and growth, and to do this, one needs to have a great awareness of one's work. You need to know where you want to go and what you can do to get there, you need to have a clear understanding of all the data related to your work and your financial performance, you need to understand deeply how the activity you are doing is bringing you closer to your goals. And above all, you need to know how much profit a project generates and how we can meet budget and revenue goals.
Well, if you thought you were doing smart working simply by working from home with generic project management tools, well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but you were very wrong. To do smart working, you need an awareness that tools like Trello cannot give you.
The awareness of your goals, the budget needed to achieve them, which activity has more value, which project has produced more profit. And I could go on for hours. Taskomat brings all this to the table. Using Taskomat will greatly increase your awareness in these terms and help you a lot in approaching work from a smarter perspective.
