Some say the year begins in January, but for many professionals, the real turning point is September. After a more relaxed summer, with changes in schedules and a bit of disconnection, it's time to renew your energy, set goals and consider improvements. And this is where new work habits come into play.
A Penedès Coworking We know that September is an opportunity to redefine how we work. It's the ideal time to clean up bad habits, incorporate healthier routines and get back on track with enthusiasm. Whether you're a freelancer or an employee, starting over with a conscience can mark a before and after. And if you do it from a coworking space, even better.
Why establish new work habits in September?
After the holidays, the mind is more receptive to change. The body demands structure, and routine can be an ally if we approach it well. It's the perfect time to question: how do I want my day to be? What habits make me feel good? Which ones keep me from achieving what I want to achieve?
Work habits are key to performance, but also to personal satisfaction. A well-structured day, with moments to concentrate, to rest, to socialize and to move, can completely transform the way you experience work. And you don't have to make big revolutions: sometimes, small gestures make big differences.
Incorporate healthy work habits from a coworking space
A change of environment can be the push you need to establish new habits. When you work from home, the line between work and personal life often blurs. When you do it in a coworking space like Penedès Coworking, you establish a physical space dedicated exclusively to work, which already predisposes you to a clearer and more productive routine.
1. Create a fixed arrival and departure schedule
When you go to a coworking space, you impose, even if it's subconsciously, a more stable schedule. Arriving at more or less the same time and leaving when you close your computer helps give structure to your day.
2. Incorporate real, social breaks
At coworking you have the perfect excuse to take a break and chat with someone. This space to disconnect not only oxygenates the mind, but also makes you feel more connected, less isolated. And this, in the long run, is also a healthy work habit.
3. Create a routine for starting and ending the day
It can be as simple as checking your schedule before you start or making a to-do list before you close. Having start and end rituals helps you set boundaries and give meaning to your workday.
4. Establish moments of deep focus
In coworking you can set aside specific times to concentrate as much as possible. Silence notifications, put on headphones if necessary, and work with intention. Little by little, you will train your ability to maintain focus.
5. Integrate movement into your day, even if it's brief.
Even if we don't always have nature around us, taking small steps to move throughout the day can make a big difference. You can take advantage of breaks to walk for a few minutes, stretch, or simply get up and take a deep breath. Incorporating movement on a regular basis helps break up a sedentary routine, activates the mind, and improves your mood. These are simple, yet powerful, work habits that you can implement from any workspace.
How to maintain new work habits long-term
It's easy to start new habits. The real challenge is maintaining them. And that's where context comes into play. When you're surrounded by people who also care about the way they work, who share goals and attitudes, it's much easier to stay committed. The community acts as a mirror and support.
That's why starting September in a coworking space can be key. Not only because of the change of space, but because you'll be surrounded by people who —like you— want to improve, evolve, and do their job well. This daily support can be the ingredient you were missing to consolidate a new way of experiencing work.
