8 places where you can work if you don't feel like going to the office

1. In coworking

In fact, this is an office for those who do not have an office. Here you can rent both an individual workplace and a separate office in case you suit your colleagues to work on the road. When meetings are scheduled, you can rent a meeting room in the coworking space with an hourly rate.

Usually the workplace is equipped with everything you need: there is unlimited internet, printers and scanners. You can have a snack in the kitchen - tea, coffee and cookies are included in the rental price; in some coworking spaces for residents there are also free breakfasts. Finally, the main advantage of such spaces is the special atmosphere. This is a place not only for work, but also for relaxation, communication and exchange of experience. Many coworking spaces hold workshops and lectures where you can make useful contacts with other entrepreneurs or freelancers.

If money is difficult, but you want to try, in some coworking spaces, beginners are given a free trial day. There are free workspaces in Moscow

2. In a park or square

Working in the fresh air is much more pleasant than in the office stuffiness, so it's a sin not to take advantage of this while the weather permits. You can go to the park light, you only need to take a laptop, a power bank for your smartphone and a blanket to sit on the grass. If there are gazebos, then rain will not interfere with work.

With Internet access, everything is simple. You can share the Internet from your smartphone, connect a USB-modem or use free Wi-Fi. For example, in Moscow, access points in public places are marked on a special mapCity Wi-Fi.

3. In a country house

A week outside the city is a good option if you already want to howl from the routine and traditional route “home - work - home”. You can go to your dacha or ask for a visit to friends - see the situation. There are two conditions: first, there must be electricity at the dacha, and secondly, a more or less stable connection. Take a USB modem as a safety net. It's good that the SIM cards in the smartphone and the modem are from different operators: if the dacha does not fall into the zone of stable coverage for one, then there is a chance that you will be lucky with the other.

Alternatively, try to negotiate with colleagues and rent houses at the recreation center. It is wiser to time the departure by the end of the week - for example, you work on Friday, and in the evening you arrange a summer corporate party.

4. In the cafe

As long as summer verandas are available, it's time to seize the moment. Wi-Fi from the main hall usually covers the open area as well. Some verandas also have sockets. If this is not your case, ask the waiter for help: suddenly, for example, there is an extension cord.

Usually, the staff is loyal to such visitors, but it is better not to overuse the hospitality. Sitting in a cafe from morning to evening, ordering one cup of coffee, is not very polite, so you should either change locations or spend at least for lunch.

5. In the mall

This option is not obvious, but it is worth keeping in mind. Large shopping centers usually have secluded lounge areas where you can work in comfort. There will be no problems with food and sockets, some shopping centers also have free Wi-Fi.

True, you have to choose the right time. So, on weekdays in the recreation areas it is relatively uncrowded and quiet, but in the late afternoon there will be more visitors. However, if you are used to office noise and no longer pay attention to the conversations of your colleagues, then you can concentrate in a shopping center without any problems.

6. In the museum

Yes, we're serious now. You can accommodate yourself with a laptop in the lobby or recreation area - however, it is better to check with the caretakers in advance if they mind. You may have to pay to enter, but in any case, you will have a place to sit, and if you are lucky, then access to the Internet.

After all, nobody forbids working in the park near the museum. There will be no sockets here, so charge your gadgets in advance, but silence and a pleasant atmosphere are guaranteed.

7. In library

Reading rooms usually have passable Wi-Fi and sockets, you can use a printer if necessary, and it's also guaranteed to be quiet and free from distractions. In large libraries there are even buffets - you can dine without stopping from work for a long time.

It is not necessary to issue a library card: for example, Moscow libraries have enoughHow to sign up to the library and a one-time pass if you are not going to take books with you. Sign up even for an adult, even for a youth or children's library - they differ only in the book fund, so look which one is closer to home. In Moscow, a map on the portal will help you find nearby librariesLibraries map "Library town". Similar resourceLibraries of St. Petersburg there is also in St. Petersburg.

8. Outdoors

This option is not an easy one, but it can be used if necessary so that no one distracts at all. Outside the city, no one will definitely interfere - except perhaps birds or rustling leaves. True, you have to take care of comfort in advance and stock up on everything you need.

A blanket, a thermos of tea and a snack is the minimum set for a day out. If you have a car, then you can not deny yourself anything and take at least a set of folding tables and chairs, even a tent. With the Internet, the scheme is the same as in the country: either a USB-modem, or a smartphone - by the way, grab a powerbank just in case.
