Work and Home the blurred lines

As remote work has become more common over the past year many of us have found ourselves working from home with all sorts of distractions around us. Whether it’s the kids running around the dog barking or the lure of Netflix or DIY projects it can be hard to stay focused and get work done.

A co-working space is a managed building where you can rent a workspace for a fraction of the cost of a traditional office. You’ll have access to beautiful interiors, comfortable furniture and all the technology you need to do your job. But perhaps most importantly you’ll have a distraction-free environment that allows you to focus on your work.

The benefits of working in a co-working space are numerous. For one you’ll be more productive. Without the distractions of home you’ll be able to get more done in less time. You’ll also be in the right frame of mind to work. When you’re surrounded by other professionals who are also working it’s easier to stay motivated and on task.

Another advantage of a co-working space is that it can help you separate your work life from your personal life. When you work from home it can be easy to blur the boundaries between work and leisure time. But when you have a dedicated workspace that you go to it’s easier to maintain that separation. You’ll be able to leave work at the office and enjoy your personal time at home.

One co-working space that I’ve had a great experience with is Contingent Works in Bromley. This beautiful space features open areas that foster collaboration and networking, as well as private offices and meeting rooms for more focused work. The people who work there are also incredibly friendly creating a welcoming and supportive community.
