Coworking Space 8 Tips that Boost your Productivity & Focus
                     Coworking Space: 8 Tips that 
Boost your Productivity & Focus
Created By Rebecca Stiller
1. Create a Schedule
Build your to-do list on a weekly or 
even daily basis. Create an 
accompanying timeline with 
deadlines for completing tasks. 
Stick to it and reward yourself every 
time you finish a task or meet a 
goal.
2. Take regular breaks
In our quest to keep on track, we 
often neglect the need to take a 
break to physically and mentally 
recharge. It’s important to take 
breaks at regular intervals to improve 
wellbeing at work. During each break 
you can stretch out, go for a walk, 
connect with a colleague or friend 
and grab some coffee. To learn how to 
maintain productivity during a mid-
work slump, you can incorporate 
mindfulness techniques or quick 
exercises that boost energy and 
focus.
3. Remove all distractions
Try using headphones or ear-plugs to 
zone out any unwanted noise and find 
your peace at a coworking space. 
Consider switching to ‘offline’ or ‘not 
available’ on communication 
platforms such as Slack or Whatsapp 
and turn off annoying notifications 
that will distract you from the task at 
hand. If you’re wondering how to find 
quiet space while coworking, consider 
relocating to a quieter corner in the 
office or a phone booth, away from 
the typical buzz found in the kitchen 
and lounge areas.
4. Keep your workspace 
clean
Throughout our lifetime, we spend 
on average around 90,000 hours 
working at our desk. Throughout our 
lifetime, we spend on average 
around 90,000 hours working at our 
desk. Considering how workspace 
improvements can improve 
productivity, creating a clutter-free 
and well-organized environment is 
essential for promoting efficiency 
and maintaining focus during work 
hours.
5. Take advantage of the technology 
provided by your coworking space
If you’ve worked from home, you’ll 
understand how frustrating poor wi-
fi connections, printer problems and 
broken-down air conditioners can 
be. They are annoying time wasters. 
Coworking takes all the time, fuss 
and cost out of maintaining, 
upgrading and repairing all your IT 
needs. It makes it easier than ever 
to be hands-off with all your 
technical needs, leaving your 
productivity and output unaffected.
6. Use work breaks to 
communicate with other members
Spending time connecting with 
colleagues and other community 
members enhances your work experience 
and builds company culture. It’s not just 
the knowledge spillover or creativity that 
flows from social interaction with different 
people, but simply put, happy workers 
make productive workers. So get to know 
your coworkers. Take an interest in their 
work projects. Begin to share ideas or 
support them with issues they may have. 
This collaboration will benefit you 
personally and professionally, breaking 
the monotony of the day and making 
your day more fulfilling.
7. Use meeting rooms or 
private rooms
This one is a no-brainer. If you’re on 
deadline for a critical project or 
trying to find some peace and quiet 
to think, write or hold a private work 
conversation, then book a private 
work or meeting room. At 
Mindspace we give our members 
plenty of rooms to choose from, 
including sound-proofed phone 
booths. 
8. Practice some self-care
Try getting up earlier in the morning 
to go for a workout or even finding 
10 minutes in the middle of the day 
to practice some deep breathing. 
The Calm app provides nugget sized 
tips, content and exercises to help 
you reduce your stress and improve 
your focus. Even working while 
standing can boost productivity and 
a little self-care can go a long way 
to boosting your productivity.
