Dwelling on your Dwelling: Finding a Startup Office

In any large metropolis, you’ll find entrepreneurs who have made a home office a reality. The city provides an alluring location, but the expense is obscene, especially for companies that are just starting up. Many budding entrepreneurs choose to start in a home office.  And in working from home, the magical line between the bed and the desk soon disappears.

You can use your flexibility to your advantage if you don’t have a traditional office, though. Just remember, cubicle-dwellers across the world would gladly trade their cage to have your 15 second commute.

Unfortunately productivity can wane when your workspace is lonely and messy.  To escape the monotony of your home office, you can go to coworking spaces and coffee shops. Sharedesk is a resource to find temporary desk space and on-demand office mates. You may even want to search for a list of places with free wifi in your quest for an ideal place to work. Alternatively, you can be your own wifi provider, and carry a hotspot. We’ve also used libraries, public spaces, hotel lobbies, and parks to set up shop for the day.

Good luck finding a cordoned-off spot to optimize your output. And now, back to work! 

Tell us about your quest to find the perfect spot to work. Let us know in the comments below.

I’ll be teaching a workshop in Delhi on Sunday, Oct 27th and unveiling some never-before-seen comics.  Come and learn some brainstorming hacks! Would love to meet you in person.
