How to pick a workplace: a 7-point checklist

A quick cheat-sheet to decide where to work today: home, café, coworking or library.

Every morning the same call: stay home, go to a café or a coworking space. Here is a short checklist that saves time and mental energy.

7 questions before you leave

  1. Any calls today? If yes — pick a quiet spot
  2. Need 3+ hours of focus? Library or coworking
  3. Do you need a second monitor? Home or a coworking that has one
  4. Want social vibes? Café or community coworking
  5. Working late? Double-check the closing time
  6. Tight budget? Use the `Free` filter
  7. Bad weather? Optimize by route, not by distance

Tasks-to-place matrix

  • Deep work + calls → coworking with phone booths
  • Deep work no calls → library
  • Emails and brainstorms → café
  • Coding all day → home or coworking with a monitor
