FIVE WAYS TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY AND SUCCESS IN SHARED OFFICES

We all look for ways to do our jobs more efficiently and be more successful in our field. In this search, we can develop new ways of working or try to find new work spaces. Just as there may be different ways to increase productivity in every environment we work in, there are also various ways to increase productivity and be more successful in shared spaces. In this article, we will share five of the many methods we can apply to increase productivity in shared spaces, both for ourselves and our colleagues.

Coworking Spaces and Productivity Correlation

There are multiple dynamics in shared spaces. Shared offices, where people from many different sectors and startups at different levels come together under one roof and create a coworking environment, naturally push us to work. Here are some ways to make this work more productive:

1. Time Management

Time management is a subject of great importance in many aspects of our lives. When we consider the different dynamics that shared offices contain, paying a little more attention to time management than usual can be more effective than we think. We can observe that small changes we can make, such as knowing what to do when, prioritizing these tasks according to their importance, and determining our short-term goals, make our job much easier in the long run. Improving time management can be much easier than we think when we make work fun. Getting a calendar with a photo of our pet on it, marking important times on it, and keeping this calendar somewhere we can always see can be an example of one of the methods we can apply to make work fun. Personalizing your agenda in a way that reflects you when viewed from a distance can also make you more eager to use that agenda and naturally improve your time management. Using short-term time management techniques will also be useful in this regard. We can probably include the 

pomodoro technique, which we all know, in short-term time management techniques, and even benefit from it when it can be applied. If we talk about long-term time management techniques, these are; will be to set daily, weekly, monthly goals and work towards these goals. In this way, we can determine the tasks we will do daily in advance and work regularly without worrying about what to do and when. We also see many benefits of these short-term and long-term time management practices in the long term. Establishing a more regular, relatively less tiring work dynamic throughout the year and being able to see our future more clearly are just a few of these benefits. In this way; we work more efficiently by placing time management at an important point in our business life and we reap the fruits of this efficiency by having a more successful business life.

2. Network and Success

Of shared offices is that we are in constant communication and interaction with many people from different sectors. This constant communication will open many doors for us. Our shared spaces, which have many benefits such as expanding our network, catching new business opportunities and brainstorming, can also be the key to opening the door to success for us. Using this network around us to our advantage is very important for both productive work and a successful business life. The ideas, suggestions and feedback we can receive from different people through the communication we establish thanks to this network will contribute to our ability to develop and improve our work. It would not be wrong to say that we are in a more productive work area in the presence of such feedback. Similarly, thanks to this network we have established, we can develop ourselves and step into a more successful business life with the projects we can work on and the collaborations we can be in.

3. Infrastructure is there for you!

Taking advantage of the opportunities offered by shared offices is an advantage that will encourage efficient work. Meeting rooms suitable for our team, basic office furniture, secure buildings and technological devices are some of the elements we can count among the opportunities offered to us. When we need to have a meeting, having a special place reserved for this situation allows us to focus on the meeting better, away from distractions. This means that we get more efficient results from our meeting. 

One of the most important and often forgotten points of efficient work is knowing how to take enough breaks at the right time. Taking short breaks from what we are doing to rest both our body and mind allows us to start work more energetically and is also important for our general health. In these cases, we can use the rest areas offered by shared offices for our short-term breaks. Different activities and workshops that we can benefit from in shared offices are also an ideal opportunity for those who want to stay active while taking longer breaks. Taking short breaks will also 

be an effective working method in addition to the services offered by shared offices . Getting up from time to time and walking around a bit to get away from the sedentary lifestyle, not forgetting to drink enough water and stretching from time to time will help us be more comfortable physically and work more efficiently. We also recommend that you do not forget to snack on the healthy snacks provided by shared offices during these short breaks.

4. “I Communicate, Therefore I Am!”

In the communal environment of shared offices, we must say that our communication skills are of great importance. Establishing strong communication in these shared spaces where many people from different sectors are present will also trigger our work to be productive. Being able to establish healthy communication with the people around us is an important issue for us to prevent confusion that may arise due to lack of communication. Eliminating small-scale chaos arising from confusion caused by lack of communication encourages productive work by creating a calmer, more organized and healthier work environment. 

Strong communication is a feature that we can develop. Strengthening our communication and gaining the ability to express ourselves with an appropriate language, especially in shared offices, facilitates productive work and plays a key role in a successful business life.

5. Keep Up with Office Flexibility

In order to increase productivity, it is very important to be aware of our own dynamics and to create a more regular work schedule according to our own biological clock. We can benefit from the flexibility of shared offices while creating work schedules that suit us. In shared offices that offer different membership options suitable for everyone, taking advantage of the most suitable membership option for ourselves contributes greatly to our productivity. Being able to adjust our office entrance and exit times according to our own daily life dynamics, choosing and taking advantage of the opportunities offered by shared offices that suit us and creating our own work plan in this way will increase productivity and enable us to make the best use of dynamic work spaces that are compatible with our dynamics.
