The popularity of the self-employed movement has been increasing exponentially, giving rise to buzzword phrases like ‘location independence’ and ‘digital nomad’. One issue that faces this group of freelancers and entrepreneurs is finding a place to work that minimizes distractions and maximizes productivity. Working at home can be fraught with distractions, and additionally many feel lonely after losing the camaraderie of colleagues. To that end, coworking spaces have popped up all over the world where one can benefit from sharing a workspace with people in different industries and retain the benefits of colleagues without the drawbacks. Many coworking spaces also host a variety of events from formal networking to casual social gatherings to increase professional and friendly connections between members. Here are the best spots in Singapore to boost that productivity within a social space.
