shared workspace

Whether you work from home or in a traditional office, sharing a workspace with someone else can have an impact on productivity – for better or worse. Some people thrive in a lively environment and enjoy the camaraderie of a co-working space, while others need peace and quiet to do their best work.

Sometimes, sharing isn’t a choice, but a necessity. That’s especially true now that so many people are working from home, where partners or roommates may find themselves juggling Zoom calls and desk space in the same room. Add in different organizing styles or comfort levels with clutter, and things can get complicated!

If you help people stay productive or organized in an office, at home, or another type of shared workspace, I’d love for you to share your insights in the next Productivity & Organizing Blog Carnival!

This is a fabulous opportunity to grow your network and bring new traffic to your blog. Many contributors return month after month, earning special ranks like Star, Superstar, Megastar, or even Ultimate Star Blogger. Check out a few past editions to see the kind of posts that get featured.
