Looking for a way to give your productivity a boost?
Working from a coworking space can often have this effect, with some coworking spaces being particularly beneficial when it comes to giving you the motivation to work harder and smarter. Read on as we explain how coworking at Circle Hub can quickly supercharge your productivity levels!
1) Aesthetics That Promote Creativity and Functionality
Take a look around Circle Hub’s coworking spaces and you’ll immediately notice the clean and fresh aesthetic. Strategically arranged open areas, cozy nooks, motivational decor, lush greenery provided by potted plants…we didn’t do all of this purely so that our coworking spaces look good – we designed things in this way because certain aesthetics are known for improving creativity. This then has a knock-on effect on bumping up productivity.
Although not all coworking spaces are decked out in this way, the way in which Circle Hub is laid out is intended to be visually appealing. Our members feel comfortable yet inspired at the same time when they’re here, allowing them to work to the best of their abilities.
It also helps that, unlike many traditional office spaces, coworking spaces are always kept tidy. Members leave their space as they find it, meaning ready for the next person to start working. This means that there’s very little clutter around the workspace, leading to a much healthier working environment.
2) Privacy When You Need It
People who have never worked from a coworking space before often perceive there to be a lack of privacy. After all, you’ll be sitting in an open-plan space surrounded by other people. While this may not be an issue most of the time, what happens if you’re working on something confidential and can’t risk others placing eyes on your computer screen? Likewise, maybe you have a tight deadline and need some space of your own to fully concentrate for a while.
At Circle Hub, this is possible thanks to the variety of workspaces that we have on offer. Our Hot Desks are our most popular, with this being a shared area that any of our members can turn up and work at at any time. However, if you need some time away from the crowd, you can also book one of our private office suites. Whether you only need it for an hour or you plan on spending the entire day there, it’s a very cost-effective way to enjoy the privacy of your very own office space for a while. With this flexibility available, you’ll be able to pick a workspace that’s most conducive to the tasks at hand and, therefore, your productivity.
3) Network Like Never Before
Coworking spaces aren’t solely about grabbing a desk and getting to work. Instead, many coworking spaces, including Circle Hub, are vibrant hubs that are perfect for meeting other people. While some coworking spaces only attract a certain type of crowd, Circle Hub is incredibly diverse. Our members come from all backgrounds and work in a variety of industries. This makes our coworking spaces ideal for establishing new connections, both professionally and socially.
The connections that you make at Circle Hub will undoubtedly affect your productivity. Just the simple act of speaking with someone about what you’re working on can help to inspire new ideas. Gaining feedback from others, along with their unique perspectives on your projects, can provide the motivation that you need to take your productivity to the next level.
4) Save Yourself From Frustrating Commutes
For many professionals, commuting is often a given. While a lucky few may enjoy a short and easy commute, most people end up dealing with a frustrating journey to and from work. Why does this matter? Because there’s so much research out there pointing to how a stressful commute can inhibit both creativity and productivity. It can impact mental health too, which, once again, saps away productivity even more.
With Circle Hub having two locations to choose from, those of you who live in/near Ventura or Northridge will find that your commute suddenly becomes much easier and more convenient. Both of our locations are situated in prime spots that are very accessible, both by road and by public transportation. With plenty of parking available at both sites too, you won’t need to waste time driving around in circles in the mornings looking for a parking space, which is often the most stressful part of a commute!
5) Numerous Amenities at Your Fingertips
While every coworking space will give you a desk to work at, a seat to sit on, and a WiFi network to join, this is just about all that you’ll get at some places. However, at Circle Hub, we try to go above and beyond when it comes to the amenities that we offer to our members. This is something else that not only improves productivity but also helps with other aspects of working life.
To start with, we provide plenty of daily office essentials. High-speed WiFi is a given, along with printing facilities. We also understand the importance of keeping your body topped up throughout the day. This is why we have a kitchen area for our members to use. Either bring in your own food or make the most of our complimentary refreshments!
While all of these amenities will enable you to spend more time working, let’s not forget that regular breaks are important. They give you the chance to refresh your mind. Taking regular breaks during the workday can have a huge effect on your overall productivity! At Circle Hub, you’ll find plenty to do during this downtime. Indulge in a workout at our onsite gym, kick back and relax in our gaming room, or chill out and chat with others in our various common areas. Not only will you feel more productive after taking some time out but it will do wonders for your mental health too!
6) Enjoy a Sense of Community
It’s easy to feel isolated at work, especially if your job usually involves you working on your own. This sense of loneliness may not seem like a big deal at first but, over time, it can really take a toll. Humans are social creatures and thrive in a community, which is exactly what Circle Hub is able to offer.
With that said, we understand that some people find it difficult to mingle with others and immerse themselves in the community spirit that abounds at our coworking spaces. To make things easier, we have a community manager onsite who will be able to help make the right introductions. We also host regular events where you can get to know other members. This will drive you forward both professionally and personally.
7) Work During Your Most Productive Hours
For many people, working hours are 9-5, or perhaps a little longer. They don’t get a say in this and need to get all of their work done within these hours, even if they aren’t feeling very productive.
However, when you work from Circle Hub, you’ll have the freedom to pick and choose your hours. Our coworking spaces are open 24/7, so you’ll never be restricted as to when you can work. If you’re a night owl, you’ll be able to start your workday in the evenings and continue working through the night. Meanwhile, if you enjoy early starts, you’ll be able to do just that. You may even get your work done before the coworking space begins to fill up for the day.
Being able to align your workday with the hours during which you’re most productive can make a huge difference!
Extra Steps to Take to Boost Your Productivity at Circle Hub
So far, we’ve explained how Circle Hub’s coworking spaces can help to improve your productivity. However, once you sign up, there are a few extra steps that you can take to boost this even further:
Minimizing Distractions
While some coworking spaces can get pretty noisy and distracting, Circle Hub has a community manager who will ensure that everything runs smoothly. With that said, if you’re working on something important and would like to make sure that you aren’t disturbed, wearing a pair of noise-canceling headphones will likely do the job. People will be less likely to approach you while you’re at your desk. They will instead save that socializing for when you’re done.
Plan Your Day
If you’re someone who easily procrastinates and gets distracted, having a solid plan for your day can be a big help. Rather than expecting yourself to work for 10 hours straight, try time-blocking your day so that you schedule in regular breaks. As we’ve mentioned, this can go a long way in keeping you as productive as possible.
Manage Notifications
Here’s another tip for those of you who are easily distracted; manage your notifications! If your phone is constantly beeping and buzzing, this will not only break your flow but will also be a distraction to the other people around you. Set your phone to silent while you’re working and make sure that you don’t have notifications continuously popping up on your laptop screen. You’ll be surprised at how much more work you manage to get done!
