The upside is the rest of the lab expects us to be there that day; the downside is we talk a lot—but as we are supposed to publish every several month, we can postpone writing for a day. It's not enough, however, and I had to resolve to make my calendar open. Maybe you could have two talking / no talking area ? The talking being the sunny spot near the coffe spot, and the working the one with the best wifi signal, plugs and not so much light.

This is a great idea. If co-working had existed a couple of years ago, I probably would have gone for that solution to cabin fevor. Instead, I worked out a bartar agreement with a local law office. I get an office in their suite in exchange for SEO and PPC services. The arrangement has worked out well, but lawyers aren't quite as intersting as the folks seem to be who are involved with coworking. Wow! This is a great idea.

Some writer friends of mine who do something similar often resolve this by chatting when they first get together, then imposing an hour or two of "writing only" time. In Chicago we weren't this formal but we didn't typically chat much - rather what helped was being in the same space as others who were working productively (not to mention how useful it can be to have friends to watch your laptop while you take a call outside, grab a refill, or use the bathroom).

I think it would require lots of respect from all participants. You don't want to be distracted when you are in the middle of writing an article. Some feel like chatting others want to work - mutual understanding is required. Wow, this is a very interesting approach. I think it would require lots of respect from all participants.
