Working from Home with Kids this Summer?

Why a Coworking Space Could Be Your New Best Friend

It’s summertime and school is over for the next three months! Sounds great unless you’re one of the many people who now work remotely either part or all of the week. Working from home when your children are out of school can be a real challenge. Not only do you have to keep up with your work, but you also have to keep an eye on your kids.

Forget Zoom calls without interruptions or a quiet hour to work on sales reports. It was bad enough when your calls were interrupted by your dog barking, or the cat jumping on your desk. Now you’re going to have to work through “Mom, I need help,” or, “Dad, I need a ride to Sarah’s house.”

But fear not, there is a fantastic solution to this yearly problem. Sprocket Coworking space. That’s right, instead of trying to juggle work and parenthood at home, why not pack up your laptop and head to their shared workspace where you can actually get things done – in peace?

Here are just a few reasons why Sprocket Coworking space could be the perfect solution for parents working from home this summer.

No more interruptions from tiny humans

One of the biggest challenges of working from home with kids is the constant interruptions. Whether it’s a request for a snack, a fight over a toy, or a sudden burst of noise that sends your concentration flying out the window. It can be hard to get anything accomplished when you’re constantly being pulled in different directions. At Sprocket, you’ll be surrounded by other professionals who are there to work, not play. That means no more interruptions from tiny humans who don’t understand the concept of deadlines or the importance of staying focused.

You can finally wear real pants again

Let’s face it, when you’re working from home with kids, you’re lucky if you manage to change out of your pajamas before noon. But at a Coworking space, you’ll be with other adults who are dressed for success. Not only does dressing professionally for work improve how others perceive you, but it increases your confidence as well. Who knows, you might even start wearing shoes again!

A change of scenery can do wonders for your productivity

When you’re at home all day, getting stuck in a rut is easy. A change of scenery can do wonders for your productivity and creativity. At a Coworking space, you’ll be surrounded by other professionals working on their projects and ideas. Being in this environment can help spark new ideas and give you the energy you need to tackle your work with renewed vigor.

You’ll have access to all the office amenities you’ve been missing

Need a printer? Sprocket has you covered. They have bottomless cups of coffee and if you get tired of that, just steps away you can head to Mellow Mushroom for lunch, Pipers for your afternoon matcha, coffee, or tea, and the patio at Dry Ground Brewing Company. Plus, Sprocket has free snacks, networking events, and fancy conference rooms for client meetings. Who knows, you might even make some new friends while you’re there!

So, there you have it. If you’re struggling to work from home with kids, Sprocket Coworking could be just the solution you’ve been looking for. Just remember to leave the little ones at home, put on some real pants, and get ready to be productive!
