Week 15: Moving Out of the Home Office

This week I’ve decided to get myself a proper workspace to do office work.

While I’ve enjoyed the flexibility of working from home over the last 5 years, I have hit a point where its no longer enjoyable for me and I could clear see the decline in my productivity.

As I wrote in my 2024 year-end review, I had planned to start visiting the office this year. But unfortunately I had been moved to a different team and that plan quickly fell through— since everyone’s remote now, and there’s no real reason to go to the office.

Still, I knew I needed a change. I wanted a dedicated space where I could focus deeply, get into a proper flow state, and work without any interruption. So, I did a quick search and found a workspace just 20 minutes from home. Before committing for an entire month, I booked a single-day pass—just to test the waters.

And wow, what a difference. I finished work in one day that would’ve easily taken me three at home. That’s when I knew—I needed this kind of environment.

Starting next month, I’ll be heading to the workspace regularly. Not just to switch things up, but to reclaim my productivity.
