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
- Any calls today? If yes — pick a quiet spot
- Need 3+ hours of focus? Library or coworking
- Do you need a second monitor? Home or a coworking that has one
- Want social vibes? Café or community coworking
- Working late? Double-check the closing time
- Tight budget? Use the `Free` filter
- 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
