Joined a coworking spot in Denver 6 months ago, and my day now starts at 8 instead of 11
I used to roll out of bed and open my laptop at 11am, but paying $250 a month for a desk at a spot near Union Station got me out the door by 7:45 and into a real routine, so has a paid space ever fixed your schedule like that or was it a waste of money for you?
Paying for a desk did the same thing for me a couple years back. I was working from my couch and starting at noon, which sounds great until you realize you're still answering emails at 10pm. Dropping real money made me actually show up, because wasting $250 stings more than wasting time. The weird part is the routine stuck even after I gave up the desk. Now I just can't sleep in past 8 without feeling like I'm behind. If it gets you out of bed and into a groove, that's not a waste, that's a fix you were willing to pay for.
