Digital Nomads in Tulum — Coworking Tulum

Working whilst travelling to new, exotic locations can be a dream come true for many. Who wouldn’t want to swap stuffy offices and dreary weather for a year-long tan and beachside view? And Tulum, with its natural beauty and lively culture, is quickly becoming this year’s chosen paradise for incoming travellers. But living the lifestyle of a digital nomad doesn’t fit everyone. And staying productive abroad with its many distractions and temptations can prove difficult. So here we pile together our list of top tips for staying productive as a digital nomad in Tulum!

Establish a routine

When working in Tulum, it can be easy to get caught up in new experiences and lose your routine. And as much fun as lying on the beach all day sipping margaritas can be, staying productive often calls for structure and discipline. Plan ahead and set your days and times for work. You don’t have to follow the standard 9 to 5 of traditional office life. One of the great things about being a digital nomad in Tulum is having the flexibility to set your own hours. So take the time to figure out if you're a morning person, or most productive in the evenings. Then you can adjust your schedule accordingly.

Take time off

Don’t forget to take weekends off to avoid burnout - which doesn’t necessarily mean Saturdays and Sundays! Creating a balance between work and play is just as important for your productivity. When it’s time to work, work… but also give yourself regular time off to explore and enjoy your new surroundings. Immerse yourself in everything Tulum has to offer - whether it’s events on the beach, swimming in cenotes, exploring the town's rich history or enjoying a culinary experience at our Co-Dining events. Check out these tips on how to avoid burnout in 2021.

Find your workspace

One of the key ingredients for maintaining productivity as a digital nomad is having an established workspace.

We all know the perils of endlessly searching for the right spot - the hours spent cafe hopping, researching online or walking around aimlessly with your laptop in your bag. This can often be time-consuming, and harmful to your daily productivity. With this in mind, our team at CoWorking Tulum has done all the groundwork for you. We’ve tested the best and most luxurious spaces in the area so that you won’t have to.

Think about what you want from your workspace in Tulum. Do you need complete silence to work? Then somewhere like the Orchid House Meeting Rooms. With the relaxing sounds of the waterfall at the entrance to its own dedicated fiber optic line, this location will really make you feel like you are in Tulum without the WiFi struggles! If you’d rather immerse yourself in the full jungle experience, then a luxury hotel like Hotel Bardo might be the perfect spot to inspire you!
