Warning: Tried a coworking space in Austin for 3 months and it killed my productivity

I thought having people around would push me to work harder. But all the noise and networking pressure made me get barely half my usual tasks done. Switched back to my home office setup with a strict schedule and saw a 40% boost in output. Has anyone else found coworking spaces more distracting than helpful?

Killed my productivity" - yeah, coworking spaces are great for that.

Went to one of those trendy ones downtown last month. Spent 20 minutes trying to figure out the fancy coffee machine and then overheard someone's Zoom call about their pet's emotional support needs. Got zero actual work done.
