1. Choose the Right Workstation for Your Day
Whether you prefer the casual flow of a hot desk or the consistency of a dedicated desk, choosing the right environment is key. Need to brainstorm? Grab a sunny seat near the window. Craving deep focus? Tuck into a quieter corner or book a private meeting space.
Pro Tip: Switching up your location throughout the day can actually increase creativity and reduce burnout.

2. Time-Block Your Tasks
Coworking spaces are full of energy, which is great for collaboration—but can sometimes be distracting. Use time-blocking to divide your day into focused sessions and scheduled breaks.
Try working in 90-minute intervals with 15-minute breaks. Apps like Toggl or Focus Keeper can help you stay on track.
Prioritize your day
3. Take Advantage of Amenities
At The Guava Manor, we offer more than just beautiful desks. Utilize our complimentary coffee and tea, high-speed internet, printing services, and thoughtfully designed lounge spaces to support your workflow and wellness.

4. Network Without Disrupting Your Flow
One of the biggest perks of coworking is the built-in community. Make time to connect with others during breaks, community events, or while refilling your coffee—but avoid the temptation to socialize during deep work hours.
Pro Tip: Schedule a weekly check-in with a fellow member for built-in accountability.

5. Personalize Your Space (Even Temporarily)
Even if you use a hot desk, bringing a few essentials like noise-canceling headphones, a favorite notebook, or a small desktop organizer can help you quickly settle into a productive mindset.
If you have a dedicated desk, make it your own with plants, inspirational quotes, or a desk lamp that sets the mood.
