From home office to coworking: 5 signs it's time for change

‍

The Home Office has been a revolution for many Danish companies and the self-employed. But when does it go from being an advantage to becoming a barrier to growth and well-being? As an entrepreneur or small business owner, it can be hard to recognize when one has “outgrown” the home office. Here are five clear signs that it might be time to consider a coworking solution.

‍

1. Isolation affects your creativity and motivation

Drawn: You feel the days flow together and you miss the energy that comes from being around other people. Research shows that lack of social interaction in the workplace can lead to reduced creativity and motivation.

The reality: Humans are social beings, and even the most introverted need professional interaction. When you work from home day after day, you lose the spontaneous conversations, brainstorming sessions and the positive energy that arises when creative people work near each other.

The solution: A professional work environment like Flexum Coworking allows you to rent an office with workstations on an hourly basis when you need to get away from the isolation of the home office and work in an inspiring environment.

2. Your customer meetings take place in cafes or online

Drawn: You avoid inviting customers home, and your important meetings take place either in cafes with poor sound and WiFi, or constantly via video calls.

The reality: First impressions mean everything in the business world. When you meet potential customers in a coffee shop, you send a signal that your business may not be as established or professional as it could be. At the same time, noise and interruptions can negatively affect meeting quality.

The solution: With access to professional meeting rooms, you can impress clients and partners. At Flexum Coworking you can rent our fully equipped meeting rooms on an hourly basis - you only pay when you really need it. Our 10-person meeting room features an 85" Samsung Smart TV, whiteboard and all the facilities for successful meetings.

3. Work-life balance has turned into work-life blur

Drawn: You check emails in bed, work on weekends, and your family complains that you're “always at work” - even when you're physically at home.

The reality: When your home is also your office, the natural boundaries between work time and leisure disappear. This can lead to burnout, stress and strained family relationships. Many home workers report working more hours than in the past but feeling less productive.

The solution: By renting an office or workplace on an hourly basis at Flexum Coworking, you recreate the healthy boundaries between work and personal life. You “go to work” when you need to, and come home to family afterwards - without having to invest in an expensive monthly subscription.

4. You lack networking and business development

Drawn: Your professional network has stagnated and you feel cut off from new opportunities, collaborations and learning from other entrepreneurs.

The reality: Networking is often crucial to business growth. When you work in isolation from home, you miss out on the chance meetings, conversations and collaborations that can lead to new clients, partnerships or innovative ideas. Many of the most successful business relationships start with informal conversations.

The solution: By using a professional work environment like Flexum Coworking, you get the opportunity to meet other ambitious professionals. Even when you only rent premises on an hourly basis, these interactions can lead to valuable collaborations and new business ideas.

5. Your Productivity Challenges Take Over

Drawn: You are constantly distracted by domestic tasks, family, or you find it difficult to get into “work mode” in the same room where you relax.

The reality: The home is designed for relaxation and family life - not for focused work. The dishes, laundry, refrigerator and sofa are constantly competing for your attention. Many home workers find that their productivity decreases because they cannot create the right mentality for work.

The solution: A dedicated work environment helps you get into the “flow” faster and stay focused longer. At Flexum Coworking, you can rent our office with 2 workstations on an hourly basis - perfect for those days when you need maximum productivity without the distractions of home.
