Coworking spaces are the ideal spot for freelancers, remote workers, and business owners looking for a balance of flexibility, productivity, and a sense of community. Whether you’re setting up shop at a coworking space in Leeds or Wakefield, preparing for your day ahead can make a real difference in how smoothly things go.

While we’ve got the essentials covered at 2-Work, here’s a rundown of what you might want to bring along to make the most of your time with us.

 

1. LAPTOP, PHONE & CHARGERS

This one’s a no-brainer, but it’s easy to forget the small things like chargers. At 2-Work, you’ll have access to superfast Wi-Fi, so your laptop, phone, and other devices will be running smoothly all day. All desks in our coworking spaces are equipped with power points, so charging up is never an issue.

If you’re constantly on the move between meetings or working from different spots, a portable charger might be worth bringing along as well. If you’ve forgotten yours, no worries, just ask the team, and we’ll see if we can help you out!

 

2. ESSENTIAL ACCESSORIES

At 2-Work, we know that desk space is important, and we make sure you’ve got plenty of room to work comfortably. If you’re used to a certain setup, feel free to bring along your keyboard, mouse, or even a laptop stand to customise your space just the way you like it.

We’ve created a workspace that’s flexible to your needs, so whether you’re typing away on a laptop or using an external monitor, we’ve got you covered.

 

3. NOTEPAD & PENS

Yes, we live in the digital age, but there’s something incredibly satisfying about writing down your thoughts, ideas, or meeting notes on paper. A notebook can be a lifesaver for sketching out your next big project or jotting down ideas that might be harder to organise digitally.

Plus, crossing things off a to-do list with a pen? Pure satisfaction. So, bring a notebook and a few pens to make sure you’re ready for those spontaneous moments of inspiration.

 

4. SNACKS & A PACKED LUNCH

Keeping your energy up throughout the day is key, so don’t forget to pack some snacks or even a homemade lunch. We’ve got kitchen areas at all 2-Work spaces, complete with fridges and microwaves, so you can keep your food fresh and warm. 

If you prefer to step out for a bite, being a 2-Work member means you can enjoy discounts at local cafes and eateries in both Leeds and Wakefield. It’s the perfect way to treat yourself to a mid-day pick-me-up.

 

5. BUSINESS CARDS (YES, REALLY!)

Networking is one of the perks of coworking spaces, and you never know when you’ll cross paths with someone who could become a future client, collaborator, or mentor. While everything’s digital these days, having a few business cards on hand can still go a long way. 

Make sure to bring them along, especially if you’re planning to attend one of our monthly networking events in Leeds or Wakefield. You can also check out the We Are in Business website for more networking opportunities!

 

6. A PMA (POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE)

A coworking space isn’t just about having a desk and getting work done, it’s about being part of a community. At 2-Work, we’ve fostered a friendly, collaborative environment where you can work independently or bounce ideas off fellow members. From breakout spaces to comfy sofas, we’ve created a space where connections and collaborations happen naturally.

Don’t be afraid to get involved, as you never know when your next great idea (or connection) might pop up!

 

7. STORAGE OR CLOUD ACCESS

No one wants to leave a coworking space and realise they forgot to back up their work. To avoid this, make sure you’ve got a flash drive, external hard drive, or even access to cloud storage. That way, you can rest easy knowing your files are safe.

With our superfast Wi-Fi, uploading your work to the Cloud is quick and easy, giving you peace of mind as you wrap up your day.

 

8. YOUR FOUR-LEGGED ASSISTANT

We’re a dog-friendly coworking space, so if you’re lucky enough to have a furry companion, feel free to bring them along! We’ve had plenty of dogs hanging out with their owners, adding to the friendly atmosphere. Just make sure they’re well-behaved and happy to settle in for the day.

After all, a little canine company can be the perfect addition to a productive workday.
