I think that's what phantom_oracle is getting at. Being in a co-working space will put you around other people and increase your chances of doing activities in your free time with them.
Why? I went from having very limited free time due to having a commute to having at least 3 - 5 hours every day after work. Even more if I woke up earlier.
I'm interested in learning how to use those hours that I never had before because I have been marathoning Netflix series and I'm not so sure that's good for me in the long run.
