We all know that working in a coworking space can sometimes challenge our concentration. With other coworkers’ calls and the coffee machine beckoning, maintaining focus can seem harder than it is. But fear not! Today, we bring you some foolproof tips to help you stay focused all day (or almost). 

1️⃣ Choose the best spot 😎 

The place you choose can make all the difference, so opt for one that suits your personality. If being surrounded by others who are also focused helps you concentrate, choose a desk near the other coworkers. If, on the other hand, you know you can’t resist a chat, opt for a more isolated desk. 

2️⃣ Tackle your FOMO 😫 

The temptation to look at your phone can be constant, but you must be stronger! Try hiding your phone in your bag, a drawer, or simply keep it out of sight. It’s important to remove anything that might cause distractions. 

3️⃣ Use those expensive headphones you wanted so badly 🤔 

Those headphones aren’t just for meetings. With their noise-cancelling feature, they are also great for blocking out ambient noise. Additionally, music can be a great companion, especially if you choose genres that promote concentration, such as classical music or instrumental jazz (or rock & roll 🤟).

4️⃣ Set boundaries 😠 

Establishing limits is very important when different people work in the same space. Don’t be afraid to make it clear to other coworkers that you really need to focus at that moment. There’s time for everything!

5️⃣ Don’t do to others what you don’t want done unto you 🫡 

Following on from the previous point, if you don’t want to be interrupted, don’t interrupt others. Simple, right? If you need to make a personal call, use the common area and, of course, be mindful of your volume, no one needs to know what you had for lunch.

6️⃣ Channel your inner Marie Kondo 🤨 

Alright, you don’t need to go that far… But an organised space in halfway to being more productive. Spend a few minutes at the start of the day organising your desk. With everything you need neatly arranged and at hand, you’ll avoid interruptions and stay focused longer.

7️⃣ Make use of your perks 😊 

Don’t forget to explore all the amenities of the coworking space, from meeting rooms to common areas. Some areas might be perfect for tasks requiring higher concentration, while others might be better suited for creative tasks! 

With these tips, staying focused will be a breeze and your productivity will soar. Remember, success in a coworking space comes from the ability to adapt and respect others. 😉
