【题目】 As anyone who freelances (做自由职业) knowsthere are lots of advantages of working at home alone. But there are drawbacks toolike the potential loneliness. No wonder coworking spaces are becoming so popularthey permit selfemployed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environmentwhile making them get some work done too. But renting a coworking space does cost money.

Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people’s underused homes into temporary coworking spacesavailable to freelancers for free. Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together. It was a great successand the project has since spread to a number of cities in EuropeNorth and South AmericaAustraliaIndia and Japan. Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free coworking spaceor go to find a Hoffice near them.

On a Hoffice dayeveryone arrives and starts work at a certain hour. After 45 minuteseveryone gets up to take a breakstretchdo qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes. Afterwardspeople can gather around againand restate their intentions and goals for the rest of the work dayas a way to motivate each other. Meals can be eaten together at a certain hourpotluckstyle (家常饭) or by bringing your own lunch.

This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment. As some freelancers describe“By working at Hofficewe give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environmentwhere we are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs. We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calmhappyinspired and creative during the working day.”
