Modern spaces are redefining coworking in Thailand by redirecting their energies on promoting business opportunities within the workspace. Some are geared toward the start-up while others cater to the well-travelled digital nomad, but all have amped up the coworking experience to include fail-safe amenities that allow your business to operate, through collaboration and industry.
With all of these resources available, harnessing them so your experience in the coworking space is maximised can really be the difference between workspace and space that works for your business. The coworking environment allows professionals to immerse themselves in the ever-social part of the office. Even in a place teeming with social interaction, professionals can turn this into opportunities to get the most from the space.
Let’s take a closer look at all the ways you can get the most out of your coworking space.
Learn About The Space
The first thing you can do to guarantee that time spent in the space is quality time is to learn the ins and outs of the space. Meet the coworking space managers and talk to them about what the space offers. In the course of conversation, you can find out a lot of information as it relates to the resources available and upcoming events.
Furthermore, make an effort to peruse the events calendar because these events usually can be the platform for building business within the space and making connections with other professionals within the same industry. Servcorp’s coworking space in Bangkok, for example, has both a great fit out that offers various amenities but includes a social calendar with weekly events. Attending these events is like building a bridge to collaborative ventures.
Schedule For Both Productivity And Social Interaction
For those industries that rely on social interaction to grease the wheels of collaboration, consider alternating your work schedule, so you get a mix of quiet space and socially vibrant space. Consider coming into the space during off-peak hours a few days a week, so work can be the focus of the space. At the same time, set aside one or two days a week to work during peak times to focus on networking. In this way, you give yourself the advantage of being able to network, an equally important part of building a business, while taking care of your business.
Avoid The Party Animal Life
Because the coworking space is such a social one, it is very easy to slip and slide into a workday habit that ends at the local tavern or club. Not that an occasional night out is undeserved, but it is difficult to work productively the next day after going out every night of the week. Eventually, the stress of being out on all night frequently wears the body down, and worse yet, makes it difficult to focus on the work at hand the next day.
Prioritise Your Work
Where work is concerned, one way to make sure that all of your work gets done is to prioritise your tasks even making a “to do” list of what should be completed on any given day. By giving yourself a list of tasks to complete, you not only remain focused on the work but also you are actually more likely to complete the work because the task is listed right in front of you. Moreover, you might find you complete more work during the day when it is written down.
Making The Most Of Your Workday
The coworking space is one of the most versatile spaces around today. With a variety of uses, it is easy to forget all of the resources in the space and the many ways the space can be used. Maximising your workspace ultimately begins with a plan for using the parts of the coworking space that can help your business grow.
