My Choice of Work Spot for Today

Tired of working from home, I decided to get out. On the last day that seems to be the one, we are being told that our lockdown measures will become tighter.

What better place to work from than a garden centre? For me, there is nothing more soothing and inspiring than having green all around me. They make great coffee…!

This is something that I am now including on my calendar. With all my exhaustive organization skills: under the category Places I Can Work From Today I will build a good range of options. And constantly looking for more.

More and more businesses are now offering this facility. It seems to be one of the safest home-alternatives under the current climate. It’s a trade. Inspiration for support. This Work-Out has given us a joyful reason to commute :)

Cafes and restaurants all have to find more useful approaches to businesses. Welcoming remote work is definitely one that’s already going viral:

Tired of working from home? Looking for some fresh air? A space to work that inspires?

You can find your spot as safe as home at [business name].

The kettle’s always ON here and you only need to wear the mask till you hit your spot.

Reserve Yours Now! or Spot On!

I can even see myself having a specific table once a week, to work from. A spot by the window that oversees the whole garden centre outdoors. Or on a farm (provided I can have a landscape view!).

There’s something quirky and wonderful about surrounding yourself of dozens of strangers. Sitting by yourself. Watching all their social contacts exchanges and observing real-life people’s behaviour.

Someone with a good sized-property could invest in “sowing” a few working pods over. Around a lake or with a field view. How wonderful would that be?

Pods equipped with all required commodities (electricity, heating, water, wifi, fridge, kettle). All you needed to do was to bring your working tools (and coffee!).

Even when the pandemic is over, that idea will still stick. It allows people to work from a more creative environment. Their jobs don’t have to be necessarily creative. Any job is more pleasant if your working setting is appealing.

Garden centres are great places to visit and meet friends. Their food is always delicious. And you certainly leave feeling more refreshed. And guess what? I wasn’t the only one!
