2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
