Items and Equipment to Take When Working In a Co-Working Space
Essential Tech and Connectivity Tools
A co-working space can be a great place to get a new creative spark, meet potential friends and future colleagues and just add a little bit of uniqueness to your usual working day. With that in mind, you want to be able to hit the ground running rather than spending the morning hunting for spare cables and accessories. Bringing your own laptop/tablet, device charging cables, and things like a mouse and keyboard mean you can get the jump on the day as soon as you start instead of fighting through pointless delays. Nothing ruins a productive day quite like a dead battery at 10am.
Personal Comfort and Ergonomics
While bringing your own chair, yoga mat and standing desk might be a bit on the extreme side when working in a co-working space, bringing your own little bits of comfort certainly isn’t. Nothing can derail a solid day of work like back ache, a dead leg or a headache. Bringing those little bits of essential help to make your day run smoothly can make all the difference. A cushion to go on your seat to make it suit you better, a screen protector or blue light blocking glasses to keep those tired eyes healthy or even a padded mouse mat to keep things like RSI at bay can help keep you healthy and focused all day long.
Desk Organisation and Stationery
Notebooks, pens and pencils and all the little things we used to obsess over in school. Everyone has their own favourites, even if the office you’re in has a million to spare. Bringing your own means not only do you have everything on hand whenever you need it, it also means you’re bringing a little bit of you with you wherever you go. Be sure to double check you’ve got everything before you head off so you can get your best work done from the moment you start.
Health, Hygiene, and Refreshments
If you’ve got medicine, supplements or vitamins that you keep in your daily routine, make sure they’re packed and ready to go so you don’t have to go without, or even worse rush home in the middle of the day. Also be sure to bring your own water bottle with you for the day so you can both stay hydrated, and be kind to the environment by reducing the need for plastic cups and bottles.
Hosting a meeting just after lunch and want to make a good impression without fear of bad breath? Keeping things like mints or chewing gum in your laptop bag can be a lifesaver when it comes to staying fresh and paranoia free during the work day.
Personal Touches
Co-working spaces have a variety of benefits, perks and upgrades from simply sitting on the sofa whilst working from home. It’s also a major step up from fighting for space in a packed out café in the city whilst fighting with terrible Wi-Fi and even worse coffee. However, one thing co-working spaces can lack if you don’t plan accordingly is the personal touches. The little things that remind you of who and what matters most. Items like photos of loved ones or cherished memories, stickers on a laptop of a band you love or postcards from a far flung slice of paradise. As long as there’s room on your desk, be sure to fill your day with the little things that make you, you.
