So, my experiment in coworking has been fun, and I think I’m going to continue it. The biggest benefit has been the fact that when I’m done in the afternoons, I pack up my laptop and go home. Most nights, I don’t even unpack my bag; my day ends at a reasonable hour, and I’m more involved with family when I need to be.
As I posted previously, I had originally started working out of a place in Suwanee, Georgia (about 20 minutes from house; 30-45 with traffic). CEO Centers Flex space is a nice facility, and the day-to-day staff is fine. There’s very few amenities, and it’s a wide open space. The problem is that I take a lot of calls…. and I mean, a LOT of calls. Wide open spaces are apparently not conducive to lots of phone calls, so about two months in to my stay, I came in to the office to find the following note (prominently placed in front of my seat… and only my seat).
Whoops. Time to find a new home.
I started looking, and luckily, a new workspace had opened up that was actually closer to home and was 10 bucks cheaper a month. It also had corners, and a door that I could close. Because it’s newly open, not a lot of people are there yet. Score.
