Honestly thought I needed a co-working space to get anything done

Tbh, I was in Medellin for two months and kept putting off renting a desk at a spot because it was like $200 a month. I finally just tried working from my apartment's tiny kitchen table for a full week. Ngl, I got more deep work done in those five days than the previous three weeks hopping cafes. The quiet was huge, and not having to pack up for lunch or deal with someone's loud call next to me was a game changer. I saved the cash and just go to a cafe for a few hours on Fridays now for the social bit. Has anyone else found they work better totally solo, or did you need that office vibe to stay on track?

Honestly, the quiet at home is a total game changer for focus.

Wait, you can actually hear quiet at your place? My neighbor's dog barks at leaves, and the garbage truck sounds like it's coming through the wall every Tuesday. I'm jealous of anyone who gets real silence.
