Virtual coworking community

Hey, witch – this could be you:

With a glance at your watch you realize only two hours have passed and a sense of disbelief washes over you. Your work is done for the day.

You squashed every single looming task, made a jumpstart on a new project, and achieved more in two hours with your coven than you did the entire day before on your own. If you hadn’t reflected afterwords with the group – you wouldn’t have believed it.

You close the lid to your laptop, take that final sip of your coffee (yum, it’s still warm), blow out your work candle, and move away from your desk with a rejuvenating stretch.

How did this happen?

Coworking.

When you show up for others, you show up for yourself, and you get a lot of shit done.

Is it really that simple? What’s actually happening here? Well, let’s see:

You knew the session was this morning at 10:00 AM and you said you’d be there. This gave you a sense of motivation to actually show up.

Once you joined the session, you were encouraged to state what your first task was going to be. This simple act held you accountable to actually doing what you said you would.

When everyone was sharing what they were doing, you felt a sense of connection with your coven. You were no longer alone with your to-do list in a faceless environment. You were apart of something. This inspired you to complete the task you said you would.

Seeing other humans put their minds to their tasks, together, made it easier to turn your attention to your own. Knowing that others were head down and focusing on their work made your work somehow easier to focus on. You were witnessed, but not watched, while you worked.

And after you completed that first task, that was all the internal motivation you needed to tackle the next. And the next. And the next. It became a game of “ok, what else can I get done?”

You kept moving things from your “to-do” to your “ta-da” list and the dopamine hits just kept coming. This kept you motivated.

Your focus was on your work, not your presence in the room. The anxiety of having to show up, and the silence of the group call slipped away as you reached a state of flow. You were “in the zone” and time slowed down. Things became easier. More enjoyable.

And then, suddenly, it was time to stop. And you could just… stop. Be done. Like magic. Ready to move on with the rest of your day. Because you now know you can tap into this energy, this feeling, every single time you show up.

This. This is the power of coworking. It’s not just another productivity hack, it’s productivity magic.

With a smile, you return your favorite coffee mug to the kitchen and with another glance at the clock you pause with a sudden realization. If your work for today is done… already… what are you going to do with the rest of your time?

Ponder the possibilities.
