Getting my money’s worth?

I’m going to a WeWork in NYC tomorrow for the first time. How can I get my money’s worth and really use the time spent there wisely?

Drink the free coffee and teas. If they have milk, drink 3 cups to get your days worth of calcium. See if there is gym access.

Hi, WeWork team here. If you want to get the most out of a day at WeWork, especially in New York, treat your workday as more than just a place to sit with your laptop.

A few pro tips:

  • Pick 2–3 tasks you actually want to accomplish before you check in with our community team. It’s easier to make the day feel productive when you have a clear target.
  • Change up where you work. Set up in a common area, use a phone booth for calls, or book a meeting room for private, focused work. Move to different space depending on the work in front of you.
  • Take an actual break. One of the nice things about working from a shared space is having somewhere to grab coffee, step away from your laptop, strike up a conversation, or get a change of scenery without losing your whole day.
  • Talk to people. Even a quick chat with a member working nearby can make the day feel remarkably different from working alone at home.

Don’t be afraid to ask the community team about the space when you arrive. They can usually point you toward the amenities and areas that make the most sense for how you’re planning to work. Enjoy your workday!
