Coworking: Overcoming the challenges of the remote workforce

The flexibility to work remotely can be both freeing and energizing. Cranking through emails from the comfort of your couch. Drafting contracts while lounging poolside in a tropical paradise of your choice. Or, perhaps you prefer the more conventional option- developing marketing content from the coffee shop just down the street. Regardless of your workplace preference, many of today’s employers are giving their people the freedom to choose when and how they work best. This trust and flexibility is creating a workforce that is no longer confined to the office cubicle. Today’s workforce is defined by their ability to work on-the-go.

But the freedom of working remotely also presents a fair set of challenges. It takes serious discipline to ignore the pile of laundry that needs folding and focus on the report your boss needs tomorrow. Not to mention the amount of concentration it requires to accomplish a single task during the morning rush at your neighborhood Starbucks. Officing out of environments that are not intended to be a workspace can often be more detrimental to your work flow than beneficial. So how do you strike a balance between taking advantage of the freedom you’ve been given while also maintaining productivity?
