Working from home during the summer sounds ideal – until it isn’t.
You start the day with good intentions, but somehow the hours slip through your fingers. Between household chores, unexpected distractions, and the temptation of just one more episode (or TikTok scroll), staying focused can feel impossible.
If you’re home for the summer and struggling to get into a good working rhythm, it might be time for a change of scenery. Coworking offers the structure and support to help you stay productive, maintain boundaries, and enjoy your summer without falling behind on work.
Escape the Home Distractions with Coworking
Let’s face it: home is full of distractions that don’t come with a pause button.
From noisy neighbours and family drop-ins to endless laundry piles and snack breaks, it’s easy to lose focus. While these interruptions might seem minor, over time, they can seriously affect your productivity and energy levels.
Coworking offers a quiet, dedicated space where you can focus without the background chaos. You arrive, plug in, and instantly shift into work mode – no washing up required (other than your coffee mug!)
Keep Your Momentum Over Summer
Summer often brings a change in routine and motivation. Whether you’re back from university, freelancing, or juggling a side hustle, coworking spaces offer flexibility with enough structure to keep you on track.
You can drop in when it suits you, set your schedule, and still make the most of the sunshine. It’s the balance that working from home often struggles to deliver.
Try simple focus techniques to help you stay productive, such as:
- Taking regular breaks to recharge
- Setting small daily goals
- Using the Pomodoro technique (working in short bursts)
Set Boundaries That Work for You
One of the biggest challenges with working from home is knowing when to switch off.
With no physical separation between work and rest, emails bleed into evenings, and that “quick task” turns into an entire evening lost to admin. Coworking creates a clear divide between your professional and personal life – helping you clock off properly at the end of the day.
Being able to leave work behind (literally) does wonders for your productivity, routine, and overall well-being.
Find Focus, Community and Support in a Coworking Space
Coworking isn’t just about having a desk. It’s about being surrounded by like-minded people who are also building, creating, and growing.
At Welsh ICE, you’ll find freelancers, founders, creatives, and small business owners all in one place. Even if you’re not directly collaborating, being around motivated people can boost your focus and energy.
If you want to connect, try some simple ways to start conversations:
- Share your work goals with others to invite support
- Join a community event or workshop
- Grab a coffee and say hello to someone new
