Entrepreneurs & Innovation

Dear The Public, With all the new technology that's out and about these days, how is it that people can stay on top of the latest trends?!? I find it hard to keep updating my iPhone, let alone scour the web, magazines, articles, blogs, websites, etc. to read up on and learn about what the 'latest', 'hottest', 'newest' tech out there to date.

Technology Overload

It's hard enough to keep track of the people in my life and what's new with them! :D Working at Garage Society has opened my mind to this tech world that everyone seems to live in now a days. Seriously, everyone is on their phone, all the time. -_- Ok, except when they're sleeping...but even then there's app to track your sleep etc. So I think it would be beneficial to just have handsets inserted into your hand, it'll save a lot of time digging through your purse or searching your flat for it! Going out to dinner, a movie, for a run, everyone is somehow connected.

Technology Community

What happened back when we didn't have cell phones? People had to make a commitment and stick with it, or give advanced notice of a cancellation or change. Now everything is instantaneous, right at your fingertips. This is useful as well (how many times have I gotten lost, only to be saved by the wonderful Google map app?!) But I think people also need to disconnect, take some time alone, and relax or meditate or just 'shut down' for a little bit. We're only human, not electronic!

Relax

So chill out, calm your mind, and breathe for an hour or two ;). Have a great weekend everybody!! ~ ENK

Garage Blog Maximising Productivity in Coworking Spaces: Tips and Tricks

With over a decade in Hong Kong's bustling coworking scene, I've witnessed firsthand the remarkable rise of shared office spaces in the city.

These dynamic spaces have revolutionised the way we work, offering a perfect blend of flexibility, community, and professional amenities.

According to a recent study by Coworking Resources, the number of coworking spaces worldwide is projected to reach a staggering 41,975 this year, marking a significant 42% increase from 2019 to 2024.

The appeal of coworking spaces is undeniable. They provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional offices, foster networking opportunities, and offer a vibrant atmosphere that can spark creativity and innovation.

However, with the myriad of distractions and the constant buzz of activity, maintaining productivity in these shared environments can be challenging.

So whether you're a freelancer, a remote worker, or part of a growing startup, these tips and tricks will help you harness the full potential of your coworking experience while keeping your productivity at its peak.
