For productivity and sanity, escaping the house (& kids) could be the key to success.

For remote working parents, summertime is like a coin. On one side, you’ve got family fun in the sun. On the other, you’ve got a lot of extra work on your hands. 

Along with those new core memories, summer means juggling work with kids home from school, endless “I’m bored” refrains and the constant hum of household distractions. 

So, how do you stay focused and productive when summer fun and the kids are constantly calling your name?

While some remote workers and entrepreneurs find they thrive with the added flexibility of WFH life, it’s worth noting that productivity can slump for many during this time. And for those with kids, that’s amplified. The lines between work and home blur even further, making it tough to truly “turn off” or “turn on” your work brain.

The Game-Changer: Getting Out of the House

Think about it: Your home, while lovely, is filled with personal responsibilities and distractions. The laundry pile, the dishes in the sink and those little voices asking for snacks every five minutes. It all adds up! 

So, what’s a savvy remote professional to do? The answer might just be found outside your home office (or kitchen table!). Taking your work out of the house this summer, even for a few hours a day, can be an absolute game-changer for your focus and productivity.

This is where coworking spaces like VIDA Coworking in Portland, Oregon, come to the rescue.

Unlike home or a coffee shop, we offer a dedicated, quiet environment designed for work. This separation creates a mental shift, allowing you to dive into tasks with renewed focus and efficiency. It’s about creating boundaries and carving out uninterrupted time that’s crucial for staying afloat. Plus, being surrounded by other motivated individuals can be incredibly inspiring!
