Work-life balance is a hot topic right now as many people struggle to find the right balance between being effective at work and having a full life at home. One element that can help significantly with work-life balance is being more efficient with your job. If you can find ways to get your work done more quickly – without sacrificing quality – then you will have more time and brain space to spend on other things. There are plenty of resources available online with advice about being more efficient with your job. One piece of advice that you will see over and over is to create a physical environment that is conducive to being productive. A co-working space can provide you with a work environment that makes it easier to be efficient with the time you spend working.

A dedicated workspace

Many experts recommend setting up a dedicated workspace so you automatically slip into ‘work mode’ when you enter. This is not always possible when you work from home – especially if you do not have a separate home office. A co-working space can provide you with the dedicated workspace you need to improve your efficiency. A co-working space like the one you will find at 580 Executive Center can include individual desks, shared tables, and other sitting areas where you can work. You can choose the seating arrangement that works best for you and jump right into work – no need for rearranging or getting the space ready like you would have to do at home.

Fewer distractions

Let’s face it, working from home or even in your traditional office can be full of distractions. At home, you have a long list of tasks that are vying for your time and attention. If you work in an environment with co-workers there is always someone who wants or needs your attention. It can be extremely inefficient to do focused work in an environment that is full of things and people needing your attention. A co-working space is a neutral environment – no tasks or people trying to pull you away from your work. This design can help you be more efficient with your job when you have tasks that require your full attention. If you work from home, having a co-working space to go to allows you to walk away from the never-ending list of home-related tasks. If you work in an office setting, a co-working space can be a place for you to retreat when you really cannot afford the distractions that are common in an office.

Improving your efficiency can help you establish a better quality of life. Finding ways to work more efficiently will open up space in your life for other people and things. Getting set up with a co-working space can help you maximize your efficiency by providing a dedicated workspace without the common distractions of your home/office. 580 Executive Center has several co-working packages available.
