Finally changed my mind about coworking spaces after a month in Chiang Mai

I always thought coworking spaces were a waste of money compared to cafes, but after 4 weeks of working from my Airbnb I realized my productivity tanked and my back hurt. A friend dragged me to Punspace Nimman for a day pass and I got more done in 3 hours than I had all week. Has anyone else noticed a huge jump in focus when you switch to a dedicated workspace?

my back hurt" - thats the thing nobody talks about lol. I think theres a bigger pattern here tbh. We underestimate how much our environment actually affects our brain and body. Like sitting in a proper chair at a real desk vs slouching on a couch changes everything, even if you dont notice it at first. Same reason I stopped taking work calls while walking around the grocery store, you think youre multitasking but really youre just doing both things badly.

Wait you took work calls IN a grocery store?

Honestly switching to a standing desk halfway through the day helped me a ton with that exact issue.
