I’ve been working from home for the majority of the last decade.
I can’t stand trackpads and I’m addicted to my 24“ LCD monitor, and will take working from home solo most any day, at least until recently.
It’s good to know that co-working is on the rise. Co-working is basically independent, internet-age freelancers who are burnt out on working from their homes (cons: too isolating, makes you crazy, no work/life boundaries) and don’t want to just work out of Starbucks (cons: too public, not networking-conducive, laptop theft, rising price of lattes).
Recently I started working at my girlfriend’s place, or her at mine. Contrary to what you would think, I seem to get a lot more done, feel better at the end of the day, and not so isolated that I blab endlessly to the guy behind the counter at the local coffee shop, which is too loud and busy most of the time to get real work done.
Looks like there is a Coworking Boston wiki set up, and the first proposed location is only 5 minutes from my apartment.
