Bedroom blues, shed sorrows or dining room downer?

Working from home is on the face of it cheap. Spare bedroom or shed or dining room table all provide somewhere to plonk your laptop and bingo.

Most of the Sapceworks people still do do that from time to time ... its a good option to have and you don't have to get out of your pyjamas. But, how good is it for your mental well-being?

We reckon having an officer to go to a couple of days a week is good for you. it might even make you more productive or open your eyes to new opportunities when you are chatting over a coffee in the kitchen.

So come and have a look and see if we can help you keep smiling and profiting with your business.

Bedroom to Boardroom

I love a catchy title for a blog post, or a presentation. Bedroom to Boardroom is neat, but not entirely accurate. In this case it probably does not matter, but it can.

When asked about a suggested title for a presentation on promoting enterprise for young people in deprived areas a few years ago I speedily came up with 'From Crack Den to Dragon's Den'. It was sort of a joke, but it stuck. At the end of the talk a puzzled drugs worker was not sure she had had that question answered ...

Back to the point. We don't have a boardroom and we still sometimes work in our bedrooms. People keep asking us about how Spaceworks works. There is a story and we will tell it on this blog, as it helps explain. The thing is it is not about giving up the slippers and duvet advantages of working from home. We still do some work from home too. It's about having the option of a space to work away from home. A change of scene, someone to make coffee for, share biscuits with and swap ideas with.

On a day like today not having to venture out of the house is very appealing and twitter is great for feeling in touch.

So, Spaceworks is not about giving up on working from home.

Our stories, that led to the setting up of Spaceworks will follow over the coming weeks, as well as more about storage options and events.

Cuts, enterprise and biscuits ...

The impact of the cuts to public spending is a concern in a city like Sheffield, with many public sector jobs and private and third sector suppliers of the public bodies. The government are hoping that public sector jobs will be made up for by growth in private sector jobs. We hope that happens too, but many people will respond to job loss by setting up their own enterprises.

Spaceworks offers an ideal environment for those sort of ventures to develop. Whatever business you are in the same issues come up and a quick tip here or there can make a big difference.

Don't sit in your bedroom with your laptop agonising. Come and have a coffee with us and find out what we have to offer ... bring some biscuits!
