6 Tips to Live in a Coworking

How to behave in society has been a subject of reflection for centuries. Every public space where more than two people live implies a minimum coexistence agreement, which allows the well-being and comfort necessary to inhabit the same space (for the amount of time that each requires), in the best way. As we already know, coworking is spaces of coexistence whose purpose is to enable teamwork, so it is important to ask ourselves how we should or can behave within a coworking to feel comfortable and make others feel good, that is, to enable coexistence.

In principle, as in any public space, be polite and friendly upon arrival. Although it seems obvious, it does not hurt, sometimes we forget to greet when we arrive and say goodbye when we leave, and yet doing so continues to be one of the main keys to good coexistence. Nobody likes to be ignored, so this is a way to make yourself noticed and manifest to the other that you see it and it exists for you.

The second tip is to make the most of the opportunities to interact with your neighbors. Try to create moments in which to share a coffee, tea or just water (although you can also take advantage of lunchtime), to meet the other coworkers. Talk to them and ask them about things of common interest. Food and "breaks" are always ideal spaces for coexistence and communication. Although, while it is true that there are no specific moments to speak, be careful with abusing conversations, since you should not forget that a coworking is a space to work. If you abuse you could interrupt the work of others and neglect your own. Learning where and how long to talk is a way of showing respect for others.

The next recommendation is that you open your mind to the unknown, new proposals and different types of personality. The possibility of meeting different people in a coworking is one of the many advantages that these spaces offer us. It is clear that everyone has their own objectives and goals, however, do not miss the opportunity to expand them by allowing you to work with others and listen to their proposals.

Avoid bullying and intimidating. Although coworking is full of talented and intelligent people, don't be intimidated. Try to learn from each other's experiences and share your own. Values the knowledge of others, but also their own. Surely you also have things to offer. We can not forget that coworkers are creative and enterprising people, who want to grow a business, so they know that anyone can help them achieve their goal. Do not underestimate your work or your knowledge or that of others. Learn to listen and share.

The fifth step to maintain a good coexistence in any coworking (and even any public space), is knowing how to ask for help. Even if you have a lot of knowledge and skills, there will always be something you don't know, that's why coworking exists. There you can find people from different areas who will surely want to help you with your project, but to get the help you must learn to ask for and receive it.

A sixth suggestion that we bring in this opportunity is to stay motivated. The decoration, people and services offered in a coworking are alternatives to avoid saturating or discouraging us. You must bear in mind that long working hours can easily saturate you and leave you without energy. So as soon as you feel like you're losing heart or can't solve a problem, find a breather around you. Probably some image on the wall or some idea from another coworker will make you float. One of the purposes of teamwork is to encourage and encourage each other.

If you already decided to be part of a coworking, keep in mind these tips for coexistence and surely every workday will be a great day. Remember: be polite and friendly, talk to your neighbors without abusing, allow yourself to know different proposals and personalities, do not intimidate or intimidate others, learn to give and ask for help and finally, try to always stay motivated.
