There are many conversations around productivity and the environments that you work in. Many of the hurdles to good productive day remain constant for many professionals. Focussed work can be achieved by constantly putting yourself in a dynamic environment. We elaborate on some of these roadblocks and how they fare in a coworking space as opposed to working from a home office or in isolation. Coworking space is the perfect place for those who don’t wish to work from home or are fearing of isolation. These working places provide the perfect environment to the freelancers, remote workers, entrepreneurs, and startups.
- Distractions: The logical way to deal with distractions is to monitor the time spent on them. In a home environment, you can reset to apps and such but in a shared office full of people it is difficult to gawk away at youtube when everyone else is busy working. A room full of workers can keep your impulses in check more efficiently. Working around the dedicated staff will keep you in check with your goals and your growth. It will help you to keep away from the distractions and gives you reasons to follow your dreams.
- Healthy competition: Not all aspects of competition are bad, some give you a much-needed reality check on your current level of focus and skill-set. These are the thing that affects your work critically and need to be monitored and managed better. With a group of peers, the idea of gaining a lead on knowledge or mastery of a certain domain can keep you plugged in to work with more focus and dedication. This sense of competition is mostly absent in people who work alone or those that refuse to interact much, losing out on an excellent feature of a healthy work environment.
- Handling stress: Though most jobs settle into a routine, the nature of work of a freelancer or a new entrepreneur is very dynamic. They are usually responsible for end-to-end delivery whereas corporate employees have separate departments for separate levels of workflow. All this can get overwhelming at times and may not leave you the happiest. In an isolated environment, it may get even worse and affect the overall quality of work delivered. Talking to someone knowledgable about the heavy aspects of your work can help a lot in relieving such stress. They may help you figure out something and the very least you can let out some steam and get back at it again. In a coworking space, there is less judgement and more support for your problems as you are in the company of like-minded individual contributors that have possibly experienced your problems themselves.
- Relaxing breaks: You requires breaks that rejuvenate your mind for more work and not mindless and endless media consumption. Here again, serious professionals will not shun their work for another season of their favourite series. It is a quick relaxing break and back to work again.
