While there is no denying that working from home is great – you have the benefit of no commute, your own belongings and don’t need to worry about office politics. Yet sometimes you can find yourself getting distracted by home chores such as the washing or tidying, or perhaps you just don’t feel motivated being in your own environment. When this happens, it’s a good idea to find somewhere else to work. Coffee shops can be a great contender, but you can feel guilty sitting there all day and the costs can rack up if you keep buying coffees and food to keep you going. Libraries are another option, but these don’t have the same atmosphere and there might not be one near you. Instead, why not look into a coworking space or flexible office spaces? There are so many around now and they provide a whole myriad of benefits that can help you to get more work done.
You have a change of scenery
One of the best benefits of a coworking space is that it can offer you a change of scenery. Instead of having to stare at the same four walls all day that you also use for relaxing, eating and spending the rest of your time, you can get out and be somewhere new. This change of scenery helps you be more productive, get more done and just feel more motivated overall.Â
You can meet other like-minded individuals
When working from home you don’t get the chance to network or meet others. This can end up being really lonely and you can crave the company of others. When you have a coworking space, you will be surrounded by other like-minded individuals who you can speak to, network with and make friends. You might find others in a similar industry to yours who you can collaborate with going forward, or you might end up partnering with. Coworking offers so many more opportunities than working by yourself at home does. Many coworking spaces offer benefits such as member events too which is great for meeting others!
There are a range of membership types to suit your needs
Another benefit of working from a coworking space is that you can choose from a range of membership to suit your needs. There are packages which suit if you want a desk for just a day, or if you want to be there full time. If you work hybrid in your office, you don’t want to commit to a coworking space full time, so this can work really well. Look into the coworking space and speak to them to see what will best suit your needs and budget.Â
These are just a few reasons you should consider a coworking space if you work from home. Working from home is great for a work life balance, but sometimes you want a bit more of a professional setting which is what a coworking space is great for. Do you use a coworking space? Or has this inspired you to do so?
