Free Co-Working spaces to me are meant to gain that stamina that you need to keep pushing. When in a space where other like-minded people are there working getting tasks done, it makes you want to do it as well (its all in your mind kind of thing).
When I have a week or so off and strictly working on my blog I like to take the opportunity to venture out into a co-working space if I am lacking motivation while being at home. It’s ok to venture out and get things done outside of your home, that’s actually the beauty of having your own business or blogging, you can do it from anywhere.
I find that coffee shops in downtown Fort Worth offer the perfect co-working space of all and they are free! Just being able to grab a cup of coffee and maybe a pastry and get to work. I have been to a few and plan to keep them in my circle of places I go to collect my thoughts gain motivation and get stuff done. Plus they are esthetically pleasing.
COFFEE SHOPS

This is one of the newer coffee shops, located off of Main Street right outside of downtown. They offer paid office spaces (currently not open yet) but also offer open seating in the main lobby, you can grab a cup of coffee and get to your work! Address:

This was one of the first coffee shops I found in downtown, they are actually located in the West 7th st area. The lobby is a bit small but the coffee is definitely worth the try! They offer an iced lavender coffee and it is amazing!

HOW TO FIND THESE FREE CO-WORKING SPACES ?
Google or even just checking your your maps on your smartphone. Wanna know what I type in?! It’s super easy, “coffee shops near me”, did you know that Starbucks is also a great co-working space to go to as well?! This is where I started but sometimes Starbucks can get SUPER crowded.
Some of the tools I use while working, this notebook from target has been a great asset for me, I love to right down notes and create reminders for myself in my phone but also on paper.

Coffee shops are excellent places to work among other individuals. I wish there were more options aside from that, when it comes to co-working. In my city, co-working spaces are insanely expensive, and definitely not worth the effort when I can just work from home haha! These all sound great!
Jerrieal Small says
So true! The crazy thing is we have a TON of co-working space here in Dallas- Fort Worth however like you said they cost so much! But we also have sooooo many coffee shops in the area and they all offer so much space where you can work amongst other for FREE and I love it!
Kelsey Harmony says
This is such a valuable resource in today’s culture! I love coffee shops but have never thought to look for co-working spaces. Very cool!
Jerrieal Small says
Yes, it is sooo good to get out a little and get work done elsewhere and not feel cooped up at home all the time.
Patricia @ Grab a Plate says
I love to sometimes (not always) work in a coffee shop or co-working space! It took me a while to get used to leaving my home office, but it gives me new perspective!
Jerrieal Small says
Definitely, I love getting a different scenery sometimes instead of always at home.
Kait | Slumber & Scones says
I work from home, so I am always thinking about how to get a change of scenery. I love the idea of coworking spaces. There are some really great coffee shops near me, so I should check some out for a couple hours one day.
Jerrieal Small says
Yes, girl do it! A change in scenery is soo good and gives you a boost!
Monica says
I love working at a coffee shop for the afternoon. Sometimes it’s so nice to get out from the house and work without at-home distractions! I definitely need to do this more so that I am more productive!
Jerrieal Small says
Yes, the distractions are at a minimum for sure!
