WeWork

Until early last year, I was spending money each month to go to a WeWork in DC. Even though the amount of payment was large, every time I went to the place, I got a lot done. 

I have a hard time being productive at home. I always prefer to be at a cafe or a library to get a lot of work done. When I get home, I get to unwind and relax. I can't get myself to have the same energy once I am home. 

I used to wonder about why that was the case. Why is it that cafe's and places like WeWork get me to be focused? One interesting thing is that I am not alone. There are people around me who seem to be doing their own thing. Especially at WeWork... everyone there was chasing a dream. Everyone there was hustling and the energy was contagious. I did speak to a few people who were working on their startup and I loved seeing others work hard at their business. It was the best motivator to do the same. 

Lately, I have been working at what gives me energy and what takes it away. Music, good health, family and friends, planning and having an idea to work on - are all on the energy boosting list. Ever since I got an email from WeWork asking that I renew my monthly membership, I have realized that I miss the WeWork productivity. Especially now that things are getting back to normal, going to WeWork to get stuff done may not be a bad idea. 

It's all about discovering what works to increase my energy.
