From wearing leisurewear all day to enjoying uninterrupted focus time from coworkers (unless you count your dog as your coworker), there are many perks to working from home. However, those same pros can quickly turn into cons, if we’re not careful, as we can go days without changing into real clothes or interacting with another human.
And as much as we try to maximize our time working from home, there comes a time when the environment of home is simply not cutting it. We may find ourselves trying to work in a crowded guest-room-turned-office, a cold basement, or maybe even the chaos that is the dining room table. Co-working to the rescue!
There are several amazing co-working spaces in Fort Collins and Loveland, each providing a wide variety of work setups, whether you’re a remote employee, an entrepreneur, or the manager of a small team. Plus, each has a list of enticing amenities, like phone booths, high-speed Internet, networking and social events, printing and mail services, and of course, free coffee! Take your productivity to the next level by joining one of these collaborative, inspiring communities designed to help you thrive, both professionally and personally.
