Tips Productivity / / December 19, 2019
Productive work at home is not that at all. Especially if at least a few times a week you need to meet with clients. Shoot a stupid office. First, it turns out that of a freelancer (person under free) you will again turn into an office worker; secondly, it is too expensive.
Especially for those who are the family circumstances and the feeling of home in general interfere with productive work, and were invented by coworking centers. You can rent yourself a workplace for sane money does not necessarily go there every day, and you have a place where you can invite the client to discuss the project.
Working from home discouraged, and gradually we forget that there are certain rules of conduct and civility in public places. In this case, it is not necessarily what it is you're someone in the way.

Divided in three simple tips to help newcomers acclimate community kovokerov.Do not hurry. I do not know if you remember what it is - to come to a new class in the middle of the school year, and in general to change the usual school. It is always accompanied by excitement, alertness and constant desire to please everyone at once. If you think that all these feelings were in early childhood, I can upset you - it is not. Already grown up and having a solid experience behind them, we, for some reason, the first day of a new job feel like a go "for the first time in first class."
coworking - it is not an office of the new company, in which you have (whether you like it or not) to communicate with everyone. Here for the whole day, you can not utter a word, and with others, because everyone is busy with their work, which may be completely overlap with yours. But this does not mean you have to forget about the standard of courtesy. Otherwise you run the risk of being branded as surly. After all, even here there are talking over a cup of coffee in the kitchen and a smoking room.
Do not try to immediately grasp the immensity - a whole day of fun and jokes scattered in polite compliments all around. Just the name, occupation and smiles to start would be sufficient.
Be responsible. One of the biggest advantages of coworking center is the ability to immediately find new customers or people with whom you could collaborate.
Usually there rent jobs fairly large number of startups, who are constantly in search of partners, sponsors, producers, etc. Therefore, even if your job is strictly painted by the minute, it is not necessary to give up a friendly chat or a cup of coffee for dinner. The better the relationship will develop you have with others, the more chances to learn something new and interesting, and perhaps find "brothers on reason" for the project.
Highlight in his world of calm place for chaos. If you've worked at home without outside for a long time or not very fond of society, at first you will be quite difficult to get used to what is around you will constantly be traffic. Phone calls, conversations with customers, questions from the neighbors - it all come down on you like an avalanche, and it will take some time to get used to what is happening around the chaos.
But this has its advantages. Studies have shown that over time, even inveterate loners pouring into the general stream, and all this turmoil sometimes even starting to like. Of course, not when you need to focus on something very important and urgent. But sometimes it helps to relax and unwind, catch the tail of someone talking in the abstract theme. And if you adapt himself to allocate some thoughts from this white noise, you'd be surprised how many new ideas and possibilities will open up. Once you hear and help, next time help will come to you from where you do not expect.
