A lot has changed over the past several years. The "way" we did things got shook up like dice in a Yahtzee cup. Several new terms came into play, like "working remotely." Freelancing became the hot new trend in a lot of places.

Another term is coworking. What is it? The way a lot of us wish we worked, honestly.

What Exactly Is Coworking, And Is It A Thing In Amarillo, Texas?

Coworking really isn't anything new. In days of old, freelancers would gather at a coffee shop like pigeons around an old woman sitting on a park bench. Nowadays, those working remotely or doing freelance work have another option beyond a local bistro.

Coworking is when several people from different companies all inhabit the same space. These bastions of productive individuality offer all sorts of amenities for the modern worker. High speed Wi-Fi, free coffee, even whole offices to rent are available.

They even have community building events. It's a lot more than just a desk and some crappy indie muzak.

If You Work Remotely, Or Freelance, It Might Be Worth Checking Out

I thought that working remotely was a thing of the past. However, I've been seeing more and more news articles saying that isn't the case. There are several industries continuing to make room for remote workers.

Freelancers, well, they've been around forever.

The coworking idea is an interesting one to me mainly because it puts you in proximity of other professionals you might never have an opportunity to network with. While you may come from different fields, you never know whose expertise you'll need and when.
