Why My Home Desk Stopped Working for Me

For years, I thought working from home was the dream. No commute, my own coffee, my own playlist. But somewhere along the way, it stopped working.

The distractions crept in slowly — a “quick” laundry load, a snack break that turned into watching half a series, random neighbour chats. My focus was gone, and my motivation? Even worse.

I tried setting stricter schedules, but honestly, I needed more than a to-do list. I needed a place that made me want to work.

That’s when I found Workcroft.

The first thing I noticed? The atmosphere. It wasn’t just desks and Wi-Fi — it was the energy. People were genuinely getting things done. The conversations during coffee breaks were about projects, ideas, and opportunities, not the latest TV episode.

Within a week, my work output doubled. I stopped procrastinating because the environment didn’t invite it. And when I left for the day, I actually felt accomplished.

Workcroft gave me the structure of an office without the stiffness of one. For me, that’s the perfect balance.
