School’s Back in Session: Time to Cowork!
School has been back in session for a week or two in Fort Collins, making now the perfect time to join a coworking community. If you’re already a member of a fantastic coworking community, like Cohere Coworking, it’s also an excellent time to reconnect with your coworkers.
Why it’s the right time to join.
Remote workers who work from coffee shops or cafes often discover that their favorite working spots have been increasingly full or noisy. Those with kids who’ve gone back to school may find that a quiet house can sometimes be more distracting than a busy one.
Having a coworking space solves both of these problems. Coworking spaces are designed for productivity and collaboration. No waiting in line for coffee, no worries about finding an outlet, no major messes to contend with, and no chores beckoning from the other side of the office door. In addition, there’s usually a coworker or two to chat with when you need a brief break.
Choosing your community
Due to its large population of creatives, entrepreneurs, and other remote workers, Fort Collins boasts plenty of coworking spaces. Choosing the right one for you depends on several factors, such as availability, the way the space is organized, and which amenities are most important to your personal productivity.
We recommend starting with the burgeoning coworking district in Old Town, Fort Collins. With five amazing Coworking spaces, each with slightly different focuses, you’re sure to find a space uniquely suited to your budget and situation.
Why it’s the right time to reconnect.
School sessions typically start near the transition from summer to fall, and changes of season are traditionally a time of shifting schedules and patterns of life. Reconnecting with coworkers allows you to find out more about what new projects they’re working on, share your wins and losses, and get to know new coworkers.
Connecting with coworkers can look like:
- Scheduling a lunch or coffee break with a coworker.
- Taking a walk around the area.
- Working at different times than usual.
- Jumping on Slack to ask for recommendations, share your wins, or say hi.
- Supporting a coworker’s business on social media.
- Stopping by a coworking event.
Upcoming events at Cohere
As a friendship-based coworking space, Cohere coworking has several ongoing events designed to help increase productivity and foster friendships. From casual events like Lunch Buddies or Happy Hour, to events designed to increase learning and motivation including Cotivation accountability groups and challenges like “Aggressive Passive Income.”

This time of year can lead to changed priorities, traffic headaches, and new schedules, even for those without kids in school. Joining a coworking community can help you weather the changes and provide a group of supportive and like-minded individuals to collaborate and connect with.
