Make The Transition From A Home Office To Coworking Easy

If you need to get out of your home office and into an office space, consider a coworking space like NuvoDesk. Here is how you can make the transition easy.

Transitions can be awkward – new places, new faces, and new ways of doing things. If you need to get out of your home office and into an office space, consider a coworking space like NuvoDesk. These tips will help you make the transition from a former work environment effortlessly:

• Make the effort to introduce yourself to your fellow co-workers. Get to know who you are working with. They can offer support during your change.
• Set a routine as soon as possible. You’ll have more flexibility in a co-working space, so it’s important that you are conscientious of your time. Learn how the office ticks and you’ll be able to set your routine more easily.
• Make your desk feel like home. Experiment with different areas of the shared working space and see what works best for you. Organize your workspace in a way that makes you comfortable and able to work efficiently. If you have a private office, decorate it with things you love.
• Get to know the office manager. Having a good relationship with them will make it easier to get help from them if something goes awry around the office or if you need to borrow things you may have forgotten at home.
• Learn how to deal with distractions. There’s a lot going on in a coworking space. Headphones or earplugs may help. Also, be aware of the amount of noise you are making so as to not distract others.
• Eat away from your desk and take breaks out of the office. In many co-working spaces, everything is under one roof, so it can feel like there’s no need to get out. It’ll do you good to occasionally step out, get some fresh air, or try that restaurant around the corner.

A Day in the Life at NuvoDesk Coworking Space

Imagine starting your workday by stepping into NuvoDesk Coworking, a vibrant hub where productivity meets community. As you arrive, the friendly front desk staff greets you, setting a positive tone for the day. You head to your chosen spot, be it a shared desk, a dedicated desk, or your private office, and kickstart your morning with a complimentary cup of coffee or tea.

Your workstation, amidst a dynamic atmosphere, is where ideas come to life. Mid-morning, you grab a healthy snack from the selection of fresh fruit and juices available. The energy around you is contagious, with fellow coworkers engaged in their projects, offering a subtle nudge to your own motivation.

Lunchtime is more than a meal break at NuvoDesk. It’s an opportunity to network and brainstorm in the common kitchen, where conversations with new friends can spark innovation or lead to potential collaborations. Sometimes, these interactions are accentuated with a shared beer or wine, adding a relaxed vibe to the networking.

In the afternoon, take a rejuvenating break in the relaxation room, a perfect way to recharge for the rest of the day. As you resume work, the environment around you buzzes with productivity and collaboration.

Depending on the day, you might participate in one of NuvoDesk’s networking events, a chance to connect with a diverse professional community.

Leaving the space, you feel a sense of accomplishment, already looking forward to the next day’s opportunities and interactions at NuvoDesk.
