1. Network Over Coffee
Start your day at Haven by grabbing a cup of coffee from our communal kitchen. It’s more than just a caffeine fix; it’s an opportunity to mingle. Introduce yourself to coworkers. Sharing your projects or interests over coffee can lead to unexpected collaborations, new clients, or simply a fresh perspective on your work.
2. Attend a Workshop or Event
Haven Collective frequently hosts workshops and events designed to support and inspire members. From marketing strategies to mindfulness in the workplace, these sessions offer valuable insights. Check the schedule and participate in an event that aligns with your interests or challenges your assumptions. It’s not just an opportunity to learn but also another chance to network and meet like-minded individuals.
3. Explore Different Workspaces
One of the perks of a coworking space is the variety of work environments available. Spend your day experimenting with different seating options. Try a standing desk, a cozy chair, or a quiet nook. Changing your physical space can spark creativity and productivity, giving you fresh energy to tackle your tasks. We encourage members to act like goldilocks to get a sense of the workspace options available. That even includes the phone booths that are perfect for extra privacy or those dreadful ZOOM calls.

4. Plan a Collaboration Day
If you’ve been looking to collaborate with others, a day pass is a perfect opportunity. Invite peers or clients to join you at Haven for brainstorming sessions or to work on a joint project. The collaborative energy of coworking spaces can make these meetings more dynamic and productive than traditional office settings or virtual calls.
5. Enjoy a Lunch Break With a New Connection
Take advantage of the communal areas to enjoy a lunch break. Strike up a conversation with someone new; sharing a meal is a great way to build relationships. Haven’s community is diverse, and you never know who you might meet—from business owners to creative freelancers, the potential for connection is endless.
6. Utilize Meeting Rooms for Private Calls
For important calls or video conferences, book a meeting room. Haven’s meeting spaces have the technology and privacy you need to conduct your business professionally. This is especially useful if you’re discussing confidential matters or need a quiet space to focus. Phone booths are also available for these types and members love them!
7. Dive Into Deep Work
Use the opportunity to engage in deep work. Choose a quiet corner, put on some headphones, and tackle those tasks that require intense focus. Coworking spaces like Haven are designed to accommodate different work styles, including those times when you need to tune out the world and dive deep into your work.
8. Refresh With On-site Amenities
Take short breaks to recharge. Whether it’s stretching your legs with a walk outside, grabbing a sweet or salty snack from the kitchen, or enjoying the music playing in the shared space, Haven offers amenities that can help boost your productivity. These moments of pause are crucial for maintaining energy and creativity throughout the day.
9. Get Feedback on Your Projects
A fresh set of eyes can provide new insights. Use the community at Haven to get feedback on your projects.
