Something always needs your attention. Culture shifts in unpredictable ways. Without careful planning, the job can easily drive one to burnout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince I first got started organizing coworking communities in 2007, I've learned the hard way that so much of what it takes to maintain sanity comes down to doing a lot of big and little things to make the community something that not just you, but everyone, can feel ownership over and permission to help make better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI realized that I could help people avoid a lot of the pain of learning how to handle things the hard way by writing down some of my favorite simple tricks and making them available in the form of a handy little eBook.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd voila, here it is! I've been wanting to publish something for a long time now, so getting this out the door has been huge for me. It's focused completely on practical solutions, with very little in the way of theory and fluff.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt focuses on how to deal with some common issues: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to keep the kitchen sink from constantly filling with mugs and dishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to keep up with the never-ending demand for coffee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to give people a wide variety of opportunities to connect with each other without being overly pushy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to accommodate never-ending changes to membership statuses with no delay and minimal labor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow we set up our memberships so we never have to chase down non-paying members\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow we strike a balance between maintaining consistent business hours and accommodating the needs of members who need to start work early and stay working late\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to all of this, I share eight key rules of thumb that can be applied to any of a number of situations. These basic philosophical approaches have been a core part of what's allowed us to run an extremely efficient operation with a continuously strong culture for over seven years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWant to learn more about what I'm doing now to help people build thriving spaces around the world?
