The Freelancer’s Guide to Planning a Productive Co-Working Day Pass
Choose the Right Space for the Right Kind of Work
Picking the correct space before you’ve arrived can be the key to having an ultra productive day. If you’re looking to fill your day with creativity and excitement whilst crossing paths with like-minded peers in similar industries, you want somewhere that matches that vibe. Whether it’s an open plan location, furry office friends or a bright and colourful aesthetic, you want it to match your level of excitement and energy.
If your goal is to climb the corporate ladder in a super formal and serious industry whilst finding yourself learning from and impressing potential future employers, you want an office space with a professional vibe and a touch of class. Matching the location to your personality allows you to relax and bring a little more of yourself to the table, which in turn allows you to do your very best work from start to finish.
Pack Your Working Essentials
It might go without saying, but be sure not to leave anything important at home. We’re sure this isn’t your first day in the work place, but in those mad rush hour panics, you’re bound to forget something. Pack everything you need, and if you’ve got it, a spare. No one wants to waste their co-working day pass because they’ve arrived at the office to find their laptop charger is on the coffee table at home, or even worse, has given up the ghost on the way in.
All of our co-working locations will have everything you need for a succeful and focused work day, but if you want to hit the ground running from the moment you set foot in the door, pack extra. To save you hunting down the things you need, bring pens, paper, a water bottle and any snacks you might fancy to help you get through the day, no matter how it goes.
Set a Clear Goal Before You Arrive
If you’re used to working from home, or in a small office with a team you don’t know all that well, a co-working space can be a bit of a whirlwind experience. Surrounded by likeminded characters from a wealth of backgrounds and niches can lead to forming relationships you never thought possible.
However, this can also lead to a lot of (potentially welcome) distractions, which can put roadblocks in your day. Figure out exactly what your end goal is for the day, what are the non-negotiables and what is flexible and then work through it as the day goes on.
Create a Task and To-Do List
Turning this goal setting into a to-do list gives you a crystal-clear script to read from all day. Put in order of importance, you can smash through your tasks without having to worry about what’s next, which leaves you free to get the important stuff done. That little dopamine hit every time you cross something off your list can help drive you through the tough stuff and into greatness.
Having a tough time focusing? Put a couple of easy tasks you know you’ll smash with ease before a big one, so you’ve already achieved several things before tackling the mountain. Plus, at the end of the work day you can look back and see just how productive you’ve been, even if it feels like you’ve just spent the day chatting with new friends.
