00:00I'm wearing a hat today it's sunny outside but I've got bad hair day so

00:06yeah I gotta deal with it as you know I am an Apple consultant I basically do

00:15my work remotely I help my clients remotely with all their apps and Apple

00:21stuff and so on the issue is remotely and depending on where I am I sometimes

00:28don't have internet connection now that's kind of rubbish for doing remote

00:34work it is possible to do remote work without the internet because there's a

00:38phone right so you can I do phone my clients a lot of times but I also write

00:43emails when I don't have internet and it's waiting to be sent now if you have

00:51that as a an online app like G suite or if you use fast mail online or if you

00:58use any of your apps or emails online where you need a browser then you can't

01:05do any work if there's no internet connection then the other the the other

01:11school of thought is well if there's no internet connection you should you

01:15shouldn't work you should be away but that's not always possible because

01:19sometimes I want to be away but I need to be able to do my work away from the

01:26internet but so I need to be able to do my work doesn't mean I need to

01:29communicate with my clients I still need access to my database my contacts what

01:35I'm doing for the project I need access to all of that stuff but I can't do that

01:42with a lot of apps you can't do that with a lot of apps if they're online

01:47only if your SAS product is literally online like Basecamp for instance like

01:52ClickUp like Pipe Drive like Asana like a lot of these apps are pretty much

02:00online only so if you have no internet connection you're kind of screwed you

02:05do like you have to wait until you get to a place where you you have internet

02:09last year when I went away a lot of my apps didn't work but it was one app that

02:18did work I mean there's lots of apps that work but one app which was daylight

02:21I had access to all the projects and stuff so I could keep on working most of

02:27the Apple apps in fact all of the Apple apps even though they connect to iCloud

02:33they work offline so you you can use Apple notes you can use reminders you

02:39can actually use things three there are some third-party apps that you can use

02:43that don't need the internet connection the only issue is that if there's no

02:47internet connection you don't have it synced with your phone but if you've got

02:51your phone you can work on it you got your Mac you can work on it when you get

02:55internet connection then it just syncs so you've got to make sure that you can

03:01work anywhere if you are working remotely because remote work doesn't

03:06mean you have to have access to the internet with some apps you do but then

03:12that's a pain in the bum because you want to be in places that you know don't

03:17have internet connection sometimes but you still want to work it's kind of a

03:23double-edged sword in a way but if you choose the right apps for your business

03:31that sync when they have internet connection then you can work remotely

03:38wherever you are you don't have to worry about making sure you have internet

03:42everywhere so when you're going away this summer and you want to work make

03:48sure your tools do that otherwise you're stuck and you can't do anything

03:51your client will call you and say I need that report I need that piece of

03:56information and you have no internet connection you can't do anything I have

04:01to get back to you tomorrow because I'm on the road that kind of sucks but I can

04:06get all my information because all the tools that I have have all the

04:11information locally anyway with that have a great day and I'll see you in the

04:17next video ciao
