Why working at starbucks is not all it’s cracked up to be
Since the advent of Starbucks as a world wide recognized name in the coffee industry, it seems that people have been going to their stories to get some work done. Some of the people who are often seen frequenting Starbucks stories to do their work are people known as freelancer writers. These are people who write online articles and advertisements for money, and they often find Starbucks as the place to do their work. Despite this, Starbucks may not be the best place to get your best freelance work done.
When you think about all the annoyances that Starbucks is associated with, it doesn’t quite seem as great of a place to get your work done. It seems that the Starbucks stores are always crowded with a variety of people who are sharing their ideas about subjects like politics or philosophy. While it may be nice to engage in these conversations in your free time, it is not a great work environment. You might get distracted by the guy telling his friend how he is going to vote in the upcoming election, and not get as much work done.
Obviously Starbucks is a place where there is coffee sitting around all over the place. When you are a freelance writer, then you probably do a lot of work on a laptop computer. Anyone can see the issue here. If someone comes by and accidentally knocks your table, then you might have a coffee spill that does damage to your expensive computer.
Instead of trying to work in this annoying environment, why wouldn’t you try somewhere much more peaceful? If this sounds good to you, then you should consider working at something known as a coworking community. A coworking community is a shared office space where several people who work independently but on similar jobs work together. They all work in the same space despite the fact that they are all doing different online jobs, and no one has a boss. You are free to do as much or as little work as you like.
The purpose of any environment like this is to build a sense of community, support, and purpose. These are peaceful atmosphere with people who are supportive of you and want you to be successful. Now, doesn’t that sound a lot better then doing your work at Starbucks?
