Making The District Part of Your Work-From-Anywhere Life

There was a time when taking a trip meant setting an out-of-office message and leaving work behind. Today, for many professionals, the lines are a little more flexible.

A few days away can become a longer stay when you can work remotely. A business trip can stretch into a week of exploring. A visit to help family or visit friends doesn’t necessarily require using PTO. And sometimes, a change of scenery is exactly what you need to approach your work with fresh energy.

Here at The District Coworking and Flex Office in Eugene, Oregon, we embrace the work-from-anywhere era. If your anywhere happens to include Eugene, there are plenty of reasons to stay awhile.

Make Sure “Work From Anywhere” Includes Somewhere to Work

Working remotely while traveling sounds idyllic. Laptop open. New city outside the window. Maybe a great cup of coffee within reach.

Then comes the video meeting in your family’s home while your mom happily mills about in sight of the camera. Perhaps you parked your laptop somewhere with unreliable Wi-Fi. Every table near an outlet at that great coffee shop is occupied.

The District Coworking and Flex Office is the ultimate productivity hack. It gives visiting professionals a workspace designed for actual work, with high-speed Wi-Fi, private phone booths, meeting rooms and comfortable spaces where you can settle in and focus.

Only in Eugene for a day or two? Day passes make it easy to drop in without a long-term commitment. Here longer on assignment or helping out family? We have flexible options.

Turn the Workday Into Part of the Trip

One of the best things about working remotely from a new destination is what happens around the work.

At The District, you’re in the heart of Eugene’s 5th Street Public Market, which means you don’t have to venture far to make a regular Thursday feel considerably less regular.

Start the morning with a walk or bike ride on the nearby river path before logging on. Step outside between meetings for lunch on a patio. Take a coffee break that actually feels like a break. Wrap up your last call and suddenly you’re surrounded by restaurants, shops, public art and plenty of reasons not to head straight back to your room.

That’s one of the advantages of choosing a workspace that’s part of a neighborhood rather than removed from it: you can get a full day’s work done without missing the place you came to experience.

Bring the Meeting With You

Travel doesn’t always happen conveniently between big presentations, client calls and team meetings. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to.

The District offers reservable meeting rooms when the occasion calls for something more polished that fits more people. Private phone booths provide space for calls, while shared workspaces give you room to tackle everything else on the day’s agenda.

It’s particularly useful when you’re combining business and leisure. Handle the presentation in the morning, check off those tasks, close the laptop and get back to your trip. No balancing your laptop on your knees required.
Give Yourself a Routine, Even When You’re Away
Part of the appeal of travel is breaking from routine. When you’re also working, however, a little structure can feel surprisingly great.

Choose your work hours before the day begins. Give yourself a dedicated place to focus. Build in real breaks. And when you’re finished, be finished. Having somewhere to “go to work” can help create that separation.

Instead of checking email from your hotel bed or friend’s guest room and realizing three hours later that you’re still there, you’ll have a designated space for the work portion of your day and a natural transition into everything else Eugene has waiting for you.

Live Your Life Fully AND Get All Your Work Done

The ability to work remotely has changed what’s possible. Maybe you’re in Eugene while your partner visits family. Maybe you’re passing through Oregon and decide the trip deserves another week. Perhaps you’re here for an event, visiting a University of Oregon student or exploring the area before deciding whether Eugene could become home.

You don’t have to choose between being here and keeping life moving. Bring your laptop. We’ll have the workspace, coffee and a pretty great corner of Eugene waiting for you.
