When you choose to go to a coworking space, you undoubtedly get some privileges along with the cons that you also have to navigate through. More startups and small businesses (including sole proprietorships) are choosing to go for coworking spaces, especially since renting or leasing a workspace often reduces the hassles that come in the form of overheads and operational costs. Today we shall discuss some key benefits of taking regular breaks at your coworking space in Dhaka, and detail how these benefits will apply to you.
Coworking spaces are meant to induce more creativity, allowing you to focus on work when necessary, while also breaking you out from the monotony of mundane office tasks that need to be done on a daily basis. If you keep working continuously to finish your daily tasks, then you hazard the risk of your productivity levels dropping after they’ve reached their peak. It is better to plan out your day at the very beginning, scheduling a mix of short and long breaks throughout the day in a way that allows you to relax even during the heaviest workload. This will allow you to produce higher quality work within a shorter span of time, while also improving your focus and concentration.
If you are having trouble finishing daily tasks on a regular basis, this means that you are facing one of two problems–you are either misallocating your time (either by procrastinating or not organizing your work ahead of time), or you are overburdened. In the case of the former, the solution is simple: plan time for each daily task, and tick on your checklist upon completion. This will give you a sense of accomplishment, allowing your productivity to be boosted. If it is the second issue that is troubling you, then you need to delegate tasks. Nobody is irresponsible–your subordinates will learn to be more responsible only when you start trusting them with larger and more important tasks. Not only will they feel appreciated, but it will also allow you to shift focus on other issues that perhaps require your attention.
Segregate different zones depending on what your needs might be. If these are not already provided as is by the coworking space, negotiate and see what you can get for you and your organization. For example, quiet meeting rooms are not only good for team huddles and seminars, but they can often also be used to do group work in smaller teams, or even write reports and do thorough research if there is no silent zone available for solo employees. Similarly, relax zones may be used to take a time-out for leisure (to relax and come back with sharper focus) or even for a solo thinking session. If any of these zones are not already provided in your coworking package, talk to the owners of the space and see what you can get for you and your team.
Burnout regularly occurs amongst youngsters as the workspace is moving towards the digital era, with lesser reliance placed upon analog data and ideas. Unless we schedule regular breaks and make it a point to take them, burnout will only be the first step to the deterioration of our mental health that could take place sooner rather than later. With progressing times, the responsibility of taking care of our mental health falls upon us–which is even truer for those of us who choose to work remotely, or from an atypical coworking space. As long as we maintain taking scheduled breaks, our productivity is destined to keep improving, as are our skills and quality of work.
