Finding the right place to get work done can be tough.
I worked as a freelancer for years, mostly from home in the company of my dogs. People complain a lot about office life, but you don’t really realize how nice small talk and coffee breaks are until your office is your living room and the only conversations you have are one-sided with your four-legged house guests.
That conversation and comradery is part of the appeal of coworking spaces, but they offer so much more. People who work in coworking spaces often feel healthier, more productive and more relaxed. Here’s a comprehensive list of coworking spaces around Columbus.
