I’m a writer and when I tell people I rent office space, I can tell they’re often thinking, “what a waste of money.” I mean, sure, I could work at home and save a little cash.

Something that I’ve been noticing, and I’m sure you have been too, is the clamor of construction downstairs, all the more noticeable through that hole in the floor. It’s funny to me how all of that noice somehow doesn’t distract from the energy and concentration here.

    Remote work may be going increasingly mainstream with more and more companies letting staff work flexibly, but as with any major shift in how we work, there are bound to be holdouts. And the start-up scene is home to its fair share. Early-stage companies, particularly in the tech sector, have a long-standing mythology of (usually young and personally unencumbered) teams sleeping under their desks to get products to launch, with many wearing the hothouse atmosphere and extreme hours as a badge of honor. Remote working still raises eyebrows among some. Zaarly exec Shane Mac, for example,…

    There’s a hole in the floor. Have you seen it? It’s very huge/cool. Let’s be clear, though, that this is a lot more than a sliced-out slab of concrete – it’s the incredible prelude to a remarkable transition, one which we wouldn’t be able to make happen without each and every one of you. This week, celebrate everything you’ve ever done for the Hall: every drop-in day, each Show ‘n Tell, every greeting to a new member, every new pot of coffee, all of those nights at National Mechanics.

Adding the first floor to Indy Hall is a go. What does this mean? It means that on June 1st our lease begins and we’ve got a whole bunch of things to do between now and then (not the least of which is celebrate!).

    Constant connection and the blurring of the lines between rest and work that it sometimes causes is one of the clearest downsides to the otherwise pretty awesome phenomenon of remote and flexible working. Tech tools that block distractions can help keep the spheres separate and give your brain a chance to recharge, as can shifting company culture to encourage rejuvenating off-time. But can space design also play a role? If you have a huge pad then keeping your spaces for work and for chilling physically separate is a non-issue – just locate them in different parts of your home and simply…

    Coworking, originally a movement dominated by freelancers and entrepreneurs, is increasingly attracting the attention of larger companies. And as these firms and their employees take notice, more and more remote corporate employees are joining the mix at coworking spaces. Do their expectations line up with those of freelancers and entrepreneurs? Do they get as much out of the coworking experience? The Second Global Coworking Survey aimed to answer these questions, with the results published recently in DeskMag. The findings confirm that the number of employees working out of coworking spaces…

    Technology might be collapsing distances and allowing folks spread across continents to work together, but no matter how good collaboration tools get, none of them can alter the course of the earth around the sun and eliminate the hassles of time zone differences. And anyone who has ever worked with a colleague half-a-world away knows of the occasional necessity of late night calls to bridge time differences, but besides knowing how to brew yourself a strong cup of coffee and operate your alarm clock, is there anything you can do to make working across many time zones less painful and more…

It was a fantastic exercise, and one we plan to go through again and again as our coworking community grows and changes over time. After our discussion, we made up a quick chart of the threads of our coworking culture: Do you run a coworking space? Are you a part of a coworking space?

I became interested in infographs after reading the Wall Street Journal, and for several months, I relished the thought of adding my own touch to it. Being an art academy brat, I’m always thinking how to make those years of torture useful. I decided to incorporate my drawings into a digital format, but at the same time use a film noir image theme. The goal was to produce the drawings using charcoal in order to evoke a sense of moodiness and avoid…

Since Regus claimed a few weeks ago to be the pioneers of coworking in the late 1980s a lot of coworking evangelists, myself included, were struck by their audacity to rewrite coworking’s origin story. The coworking community loves to share how coworking emerged from San Francisco in 2005 when the Hat Factory opened and the community-driven concept quickly spread throughout the world with the help of Jelly! But after reading Alex Hillman’s post about the many histories of coworking it made me realize that Regus did partially pave the way for coworking as…

One early morning between 4:00 AM and 9:00 AM this blinding surge became a blueprint to open a coworking space in downtown Salt Lake City. I don’t know where the idea came from… it was just there. I don’t remember ever hearing the term coworking before, but one thing was clear, it was time to open a coworking office. To me coworking is truly about, collaboration: a unified, high-impact, high-energy workspace.

  • New €350 monthly freelancer tax “will kill innovation in Germany”

    14 May 2012 | 2:40 am
    The German government’s plan to force freelancers to pay a compulsory retirement 'contribution' will kill off entrepreneurship and destroy millions of independent careers. That’s the opinion of Tim Wessels, an IT specialist from Hamburg who has launched a petition against the so-called “Rewarding Life’s Work” law. Freelancers will be forced to pay €350+ a month to support the broken pension system, on top of the €300-€600 they must already pay for health insurance (plus other taxes). Demanding that entrepreneurs fork out at least €650 a month in contributions before they…

  • Freelancers to pay more in Germany

    11 May 2012 | 10:32 am
    Nearly two-thirds of all coworking space members in Germany are self-employed. For them, and all other freelancers in Germany, a special retirement gift is planned by the federal Ministry – though as to who this generous “gift” is for is dubious. Under the slogan “Rewarding Life's Work”, all self-employed workers will be forced to pay minimum monthly contributions to a state or private pension fund. These mandatory contributions will be hundreds of euros per month for a basic social security which they can't live on. For many freelancers, this could signal the end. Here is a…

    America’s famously independent city has a strong sense of community and lots of great public areas to gather and interact. Which might be why there are less official coworking spaces than might be expected. Portland has also experienced a few failed coworking experiments. But things are picking up – there are several great locations for collaborative work, and more Portlandians are looking for a stable environment to do their independent work. We visited five locations, including an amazing makers’ space for handworkers.

Indeed, in light of the startup boom which some are dubbing the ‘startup economy’, this may well prove true. As this trend continues to grow, however, the startup economy is emerging in its own right, now possessing its own market force and instigating a string of positive effects on the economy at large.

    Many members join coworking spaces in Spring, marking the first season of many to come for most members. But what does that first week feel like? For coworking veterans, it's hard to think back to the very first week as a coworker, and remember how it felt to work in such a different environment for the first time.
