Positive Psychology of Coworking Spaces Like The Common Space

The Common Space, Pergola Mall, BF Homes, Paranaque

Recent studies show there are problems associated with working at home or at a coffee shop such as suffering the feeling of isolation. Most of us have internet connection at home or can go to a coffee shop to work online, yet with the social support system that is created in a coworking space that is vastly different from a traditional work place as which has supervisors, being in such a work environment greatly enhances productivity as each coworker goes about with their independent activity.

A coworking space is a modern social work environment, and there are other positive factors to having this kind of shared office space. It is possible to network, there might be collaborations, sharing of ideas, gaining or providing feedback, and since there is no task interdependence, the pressure and stress found in a traditional workplace is not present. Neither is the high noise level of coffee shops and other wifi zones - and the atmosphere greatly aids in focusing on work plus the vibe of a work environment is present.

The social group of a coworking space brings about supportive behavior. Though each coworker is independent, can be interaction, and with the ethical nature of being in a coworking space, like keeping the voice low, having to clean up after using the pantry facilities, ensuring that the area used is clean after use - there is a responsibility that comes with having a shared office space.

As more independent professionals seek to have an office space that is affordable with complete facilities, there are a number of coworking spaces in Metro Manila like The Common Space. You'll find these coworking spaces in the heart of business districts such as Makati and Bonifiacio Global City.  

There are many coworkers that are into software design, web development, consultancy, language services, consultancy, management, journalism, blogging, and writing. Renting a coworking space for a day or for even longer is a practical decision, and provides more savings that renting a traditional office that requires a down payment, advance rental, furnishing the rented place, and having to install an internet connection, and having to get an assistant. A coworking space is a ready-made office that does have a receptionist, and all that you need for an office is there.

There is a coworking space in Paranaque that provides the positive psychology atmosphere and has complete office facilities. It is The Common Space, located at the 2nd floor of Pergola Mall, Aguirre Avenue, BF Homes. It is open from Mondays to Saturdays, from 9 am to 9 pm. There is wifi, unlimited coffee and other beverages like tea. This can be used as a virtual office for mail handling and for the address to be used in corporation papers, and can be rented for meeting places and events.

Of course, there's Starbucks, right - with the coffee, and you can bring your lappy and portable wifi there, and must have the art of shutting out noise when you need to concentrate - but then here, at The Common Space, there is unlimited brewed hot coffee, cold coffee, hot tea, iced tea, and you can bring in your own munchies. The noise level is that of work, and there is no loud music playing, no people who are there to disturb your concentration, as it is for coworking - a shared office.

This shared office may be rented at a monthly, daily, and for minimum of 3 hours. There are various packages. There is strong wifi at 15 Gbps, and there are two desktops that can be rented at 30 pesos and hour. There is a scanner, printer, and a landline. Just like an office, you can get your mail here, and use this coworking place in Paranaque for an office address.

When we had the blogger's event, with bloggers Rod Gabriel, Ron Barbaza, and online influencer Ed Gonzalez, we made a computation of the monthly rental, to see the cost per day. First, we discussed what a person would need if they would have their own office space, so the rental expense, the electricity, the equipment, and the internet - and since you can use this coworking space for a month, which is 6 working days a week multiplied by 4 weeks, it comes out that 4,500 pesos a month means that you will only spend 187.50 a day.

The bloggers event was that of discussion, turning out to be a meeting where we shared information, and then enjoyed the work atmosphere that this coworking in Parañaque provided. It helps one become more productive to be among people who want to focus on work, and there is a good vibe, that of energy, that comes with this spacious and airy space, that has benches set right outside for the smoking area.

The Common Space is located at the second floor of Pergola Mall, Aguirre Ave, Parañaque. You may learn more about it by accessing The Common Space Facebook page.
