Back-to-school time is the most wonderful time of the year for weary parents. Sure, summer is filled with wonderful outings to the beach, lazy weekends in pajamas and backyard barbecues. But for working parents and small business owners, it can mean managing snack time in the midst of a conference call, taking away “screen time” (which results in “scream time”) and a countdown until the big yellow school bus comes to restore some peace and quiet to their home. Or home office.

Yes, back to school can mean back to work for small business owners who found their business hours encroached upon by their littles. And now, it’s time to buckle down and get productive. But how? You’re feeling like you’ve lost days… weeks… months during the summer while you were otherwise occupied. Maybe a change of scenery might give your business the “shot-in-the-arm” you need? A flexible, part-time office in a professional setting can offer the focus and productivity you need to get your productivity mojo back.

Three ways a part-time office can help you get back to work:

1. Flexible hours. Part time means you choose what parts of the day you work. If you need to get the kids off on the bus and then start your day, a part-time office means you get to name the hours. Or if you need to get the kids to bed – 24/7 access is available. Do you need an hour to kickstart your productivity? A day? A week? You pick your schedule.
2. Professional atmosphere. Sometimes it’s just a mindset. The dishwasher is calling. You’re still in sweatpants. And “Married at First Sight” is on Netflix. You may need a change of scenery to change your mindset and buckle down into serious work mode. An office, with a receptionist, and a door. Other professionals around you – heads down, being productive. Taking calls. Typing away on their keyboards at who-knows-what... but it’s not scrolling through social media looking at cat videos. Start with a shower… and then think about what days you want to leave the house and interact with other professionals. It doesn’t hurt, we promise.
3. The tools you need. Renting office space can give you so much more than just a room with a door. A skilled receptionist who can greet your visitors, direct your calls, and even make copies and send packages when needed. Strong, reliable wi-fi. And a desk where you can spread out and get your work accomplished! Best of all, with a part-time office, you won’t have to commit to a long-term lease or take on costly overhead.
