Everyone is always searching for some form of inspiration when they sit down to work. That’s because creative minds tend to wander, and with the myriad distractions available to you at any given moment via your phone and computer, it can be easy to get side tracked. Why is it that sitting down at a coffee shop table can sometimes unlock some sort of hidden inspiration that you need to focus? There are a few reasons, and harnessing this power source for your creative projects is a huge asset. Here’s how you can unlock inspiration by using your workspace.

Choose a Workspace with the Atmosphere that’s Right for You

Everyone has different tastes and preferences when it comes to a workplace environment. You need to pick a space with an atmosphere that’s right for you. Whether that means community tables, couches, or a small space all to yourself, only you know what’s best for you. Working in public offers the benefit of white noise — which can actually help you focus.

Choosing a Workspace that’s Free of Distractions (or Minimizes Distractions) Will Help

Working in public also helps pull you away from potential distractions. While you may still work on your laptop or phone (and these devices present opportunities to self distract), getting yourself out of the home can take you away from easy distractions like the television or pets. Furthermore, working in public may make you less likely to engage in silly distractions like social media.

You Have to Bring the Right Frame of Mind to the Table

Of course, the workspace you choose can’t do everything for you. You have to bring the right frame of mind to the table too. By choosing to actively focus, you can block out some of the potential distractions. Your willingness to succeed will take you farther than you may think.
