Working from home can be difficult because being in your living space makes it harder to separate your work and home life. It’s important for professionals to work away from their home so that they can stay productive and motivated. When individuals work in a coworking space, they have an area designated to work while still having the flexibility they love. Having a designated workspace increases your focus during the day as the environment allows you to jump right into the day’s tasks.
Executives who work from home often have difficulty creating boundaries between their work and home life as their children or roommates frequent the room or they’re distracted by the errands they need to run. In coworking spaces like WORKZONES, you are able to work with limited interruptions as the space is filled with other professionals who are trying to focus on their work as well.
One nice aspect of the traditional office setting is the sense of community you get from working with other individuals. With coworking, you can still experience that community while experiencing work-from-home benefits. When you walk into a coworking space, there are other people like you who are motivated to do their work and do it well. Plus, coworking gives you the option to connect with other executives and managers.
Dedicate time and attention to yourself by getting out of your normal work setting! Coworking is the perfect solution for executives to really focus on their work while still keeping the hours they prefer. At WORKZONES, we offer a premier coworking space in the heart of Santa Barbara that has the amenities and flexibility you need to get the job done.

It is not uncommon for individuals to choose to work in a non-traditional office setting because they want to have a more flexible schedule. However, working from home can be distracting, and working in a coffee shop can feel unprofessional. With coworking, you can keep the work-from-home flexibility while still enjoying the professional benefits of working in a traditional office.
Coworking gives you the opportunity to work in a social setting while still having the privacy and independence to get your work done. Think of it like getting your work done in a coffee shop while being surrounded by like-minded professionals who are also looking to further their careers. While at WORKZONES you can still choose to work in one of our private offices in Santa Barbara, you have access to our coworking space and the opportunity to chat with the other members, get ideas for new products, and generally enjoy a community of like-minded individuals.
The perfect networking opportunity, coworking spaces such as WORKZONES give professionals from different industries the opportunity to work alongside one another. Working in the same professional office space as people from different industries gives you access to potential clients, partnerships, focus groups, and friends. At WORKZONES, we offer member mixers to give our members more networking opportunities.
As mentioned before, coworking allows you to enjoy community while working and increases your networking opportunities. What’s better is that, when you work in a community and network, the act of collaborating with like-minded professionals allows you to experience different ways of thinking. Being exposed to these other perspectives trains you to be more open to various problem-solving methods which, in turn, boost your creativity.
When opportunities for collaboration and creativity increase, the act of working with people who have different skill sets and engaging in creative thinking allows you to be more productive. This is because you are able to pull inspiration from your environment and use that inspiration when creating new products or improving the products you already have. If you’re the type of person who needs a private space to work and also enjoys the opportunity to collaborate with others, WORKZONES offers private offices spaces for rent so that you can get the social and individual time you need to get your work done.

If you’re one of the many professionals who have opted out of working in a traditional office setting, then you may be running your business from a home office or a coffee shop. Unfortunately, home offices make balancing work and life duties difficult as professionals are distracted by children, pets, etc.; and working from a coffee shop isn’t much better. Coffee shops are bustling with individuals meeting for social outings, loud college students, and the like. Inviting a client to one of these locations would seem unprofessional, and taking a conference call would be difficult because of all the distractions. If you’re looking for work-from-home flexibility mixed with office-setting professionalism, WORKZONES is the perfect location for you!
At WORKZONES, we offer a new office concept called coworking. Coworking provides professionals from different industries with a common workspace to complete projects, network, and share ideas. Our fully furnished coworking space is set up like a cafe. However, unlike a cafe, our space is filled with professionals who exchange ideas in order to further their careers.
To give you the work-from-home feel, WORKZONES offers flexible coworking plans that allow you to work how you want, when you want. These plans are called our HOMEZONE memberships. HOMEZONE memberships give professionals access to our ready-to-work space and coworking amenities.
Professionals have two options when it comes to our HOMEZONE memberships: HOMEZONE and HOMEZONE Plus.
HOMEZONE – For less than $5 per day, members receive unlimited access to our premier coworking space in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara.
HOMEZONE Plus – Members receive unlimited access to our premier coworking space, and for an additional $2.50 per day, members can add another person to their coworking plan.
WORKZONES budget-friendly coworking space is perfect for professionals who want the work-from-home flexibility as well as the traditional office feel.

As more and more professionals are happily switching from traditional workplace arrangements to working remotely–they’re discovering the unhappy reality that there are precious few places to go to actually get work done.
Coworking is working independently in a shared work space. It differs from the typical office environment because the people are usually self-employed or remote workers. Coworking facilities also attract professionals that have home offices or travel a lot, and are seeking to improve their productivity.
