HOW TO: Get the Most Out of a Coworking Space

handsIf you’ve decided that it’s time to leave your bathrobe at home, let your favorite coffee shop have its corner table back, and join a coworking space, you’re only halfway there. Though coworking can have a lot of perks, how you take advantage of them and shape your experience is up to you. “We’ve had people who within the first week they’ve kind of immersed themselves [in]to events and socializing with other people here, or they’re just here, they do their work, and then they take off,” says Jeff Park, who manages the Ravenswood Coworking Group in Chicago. “We know that they come in, but I think for them that’s enough for them. They just want to be around other people in a productive environment.” Whether you’re aiming to be as productive as possible without a lot of socializing or trying to build a strong professional community that you can turn to for resources and support, these five tips can help you get the most out of your coworking experience. mashable
