Cowork! I'd go nuts if I were just sitting alone in my apartment all day, and bouncing around coffee shops isn't really my thing.

I'm in Denver and happy to make specific recommendations (I'm not officially affiliated anywhere but am a happy renter of a reserved desk); otherwise, check out http://www.deskmag.com/, Impact Hub, or if you're in SF, NYC, or Boston, throw a rock and check out whatever place you hit first (there's TONS of options).

Agreed, 100%. Any shared space takes care of so many challenges that come with remote work: socializing, a unique non-relaxation oriented place to "be on", as well as the expectation to be seen. Depending on your personality, it can be super easy to disappear and fall into work avoidance rather than proactiveness when there's no face time/expectation.
