5 amenities that actually make you more productive

When you tour a coworking space, it is easy to be dazzled by perks. But only a handful of amenities really move the needle on productivity.

1. Genuinely fast internet

Nothing kills momentum like a dropped call or a slow upload. Ask about the actual speeds, not just "high-speed Wi-Fi".

2. Quiet phone booths

Calls are part of modern work. Soundproof booths let you take them without disturbing - or being disturbed by - anyone.

3. Ergonomic chairs

You sit for hours. A good chair protects your back and keeps you focused far longer than a trendy stool.

4. Bookable meeting rooms

Clear booking and enough rooms mean you never scramble for a place to talk.

5. Good coffee - and a real kitchen

Small comforts matter. Decent coffee and a place to prepare lunch keep you in the building and in flow.
