Home Office – A Double-Edged Sword
At first, the home office seems very attractive to many. You can lounge around in sweatpants or pajamas all day, take long breaks, do household chores, look after children or pets, and you don’t even have to leave the house. Plus, no one bothers you unexpectedly at home, and you enjoy the peace and quiet!
However, the honeymoon phase eventually ends, and the hard reality sets in: you find yourself staying in sweatpants all the time and taking breaks that are as long as a blockbuster on Netflix. You miss chatting with others over a good coffee, and your productivity slips. Finally, your internet regularly cuts out, and you can no longer distinguish between your living and working space.
At this point, you long for a work atmosphere that brings the flexibility and comfort of the home office while also boosting efficiency and productivity with a professional infrastructure.
An Alternative and Complement to the Home Office
The solution is simple: shared office solutions and coworking spaces are perfect for you if you urgently need a change of scenery!
Why is that? Here are 3 good reasons why you should consider these flexible office solutions as a serious alternative and complement to the home office:
-
Work More Productively
“Boost productivity” is a pretty popular search phrase right now, and for good reason. Many people sit in front of their screens for up to 8 hours (whether at home or in the office) and still barely check off two items from their to-do list. Have you ever thought about how much your environment influences your performance?
A space for focus, a professional work infrastructure, a motivating atmosphere, and exchange with like-minded people – probably sounds better than working alone at home and talking to the pigeon at the window.
-
Prevent Overworking
In the home office, we tend to work more because it’s often just “one more hour” or “I’ll finish this up” and before you know it, you’re sitting in front of your computer for more than 10 hours.
We often find it hard to mentally disconnect from work because personal and professional lives blend too easily within our own four walls. In a shared office or coworking space, you have a clear boundary. No seamless transition from work mode to chill mode. Finally, no dinner in front of the computer while working on the side. Finally, a real end to the workday. Doesn’t that sound good?

Professional Work Environment & All-in Service
Say goodbye to Zoom calls where colleagues and potential clients see your (maybe messy) apartment in the background. Say goodbye to awkward background noises and spontaneous visits from your pets (even if that can often be very cute).
When you book a workspace in our shared offices and coworking spaces, you get a professional work environment paired with our all-in service. Be it meeting rooms, phone booths (without a cat), premium Wi-Fi, professional printers & scanners, or delicious coffee and fresh fruit.
An ALL-IN SERVICE is so important to us that we even write it in caps lock. Our goal is to provide a flexible work environment where you can focus solely on your business.
Conclusion
Shared office solutions and coworking spaces offer you a professional work environment that combines the advantages of home office and traditional office. In a coworking environment, you work more efficiently, prevent overworking by maintaining a clear boundary between personal life and work. On top of that, you can exchange ideas with a motivating community, benefit from the latest technology, and enjoy a proper workspace.
If you’re also at the end of the home office honeymoon phase and looking for the perfect alternative to the home office, we warmly recommend our andys.cc coworking centers.
