Switched to coworking spaces 3 days a week and my output doubled in 2 months

Was working from cafes and hostels for 6 months, then tried a WeWork in Chiang Mai for $200/month. Now I actually finish client projects by 3pm instead of 3am. Anyone else find a specific workspace setup that just clicks?

$200/month for WeWork in Chiang Mai is actually pretty cheap lol. Most coworking spots in that area are closer to $150-$250 depending on the tier. But yeah, having a dedicated desk makes a huge difference compared to bouncing between cafes where you're tethered to outlets and buying overpriced iced lattes just to stay. Your 3pm finish time is kinda wild though, most people I know in coworking spaces end up staying later because they actually get in the zone.

Wondering how much of that 3pm finish is actually forced though. Is it because you run out of steam or the workspace culture there just doesn't push late hours? I've seen a few people do the early bird thing in coworking spots and they swear by it for deep focus before the crowd shows up. But the whole "buying overpriced lattes to stay" part is real. Cafes drain your wallet fast. Do you think the fixed desk price is worth it if you're only using it till afternoon?
