5 Tips That Will Boost Your Productivity in Our Coworking Space

Keep a clean workspace. Working in a dirty environment brings negative emotions, and your drive and desire starts to wither away. Make it a rule to start your workday by cleaning up your coworking space. Take some breaks to tidy up your space when you feel your workspace has gotten cluttered.

Control your time effectively. Time is precious, but it is also fleeting! Create a plan of work for the day that includes everything you need to accomplish, and take into account the breaks you’ll have! Take on the big projects and tasks first and save smaller tasks for the end, so long as your deadlines allow it!

Fight procrastination. Procrastination can stand in the way of success as a professional or as a business owner. If you’re not loving your current project, you might notice yourself falling out of productivity. Stop procrastination by breaking your tasks into subtasks, and focus on checking them off one by one. Create deadlines for each subtask and reward yourself with brief breaks after each one is completed.

Take care of yourself. Flexible work schedules and a great working environment can sometimes turn you into a workaholic. Make sure you are not working yourself beyond what your mind and body will allow. Spend time in the open air, don’t drink too much coffee or energy drinks, get sufficient sleep and eat nutritious snacks and meals.

Take breaks. Reward yourself after completing tasks with a little break time. Take a walk, go socialize, call a friend or eat a snack to give your mind and eyes a break. Scientific research shows that the optimal time of intensive work for our brain is 52 minutes followed by a 17-minute break. Whether you use this work time versus break time ratio or not, the key is to unbend your mind to avoid burnout!
