Costume co-working + Chinese New Year Dinner: productivity meets self-expression
Details
To celebrate Fasching and Chinese New Year happening at the same day, we’re turning an ordinary co-working afternoon into something a little more… ridiculous, expressive, and fun. This is a costume co-working day, where focus meets play, and productivity meets self-expression. Join us for our Weekly Co-Working Session in creative driven lounge Jaz in the City — and let’s finally get it done, together. After Co-working from 5pm onward, we are going to a Chinese restaurant to celebrate Chinese New Year together!
Dress-Up Code (very important 😌)
Please wear one piece of clothing that fits at least one of these categories:
- 🧥 A piece that has been living in your wardrobe for years but never had its moment
- 🤡 Something funny, absurd, dramatic, or slightly ridiculous
- 😤 A piece you secretly hate, but for some reason can’t throw away
Wear it.
Own it.
And be ready to share the story behind it.
✨ Bonus: You’re encouraged to change outfits between focus sessions if you like.
How the afternoon works
We’ll have 3 focused co-working sessions, with short breaks in between.
Each break is a chance to:
- switch outfits
- stretch
- laugh
- and hear the stories behind the clothes we’re wearing
This is still real co-working — just with a lighter spirit and more color.
Why this event
Because:
- creativity boosts focus
- play reduces resistance
- and sometimes productivity needs a little chaos 🎨
You don’t need a “proper” costume.
You just need one forgotten, funny, or emotionally complicated piece of clothing.

🪑Seating information:
- If this is your first time joining us, please look for Joanna Liu when you arrive at the Ground Floor Bar (not at the hotel reception).
- There is a long table with 12 seats for those joining the peer accountability session — please arrive on time if you’d like to sit here.
- There are also round tables nearby for anyone who prefers a more flexible setup.
- If you’d like to work independently (without the Pomodoro arrangement) but still be part of the group energy, just let Joanna know — we’ll make sure you’re comfortably included. 💛
🌱 What to Expect
- Drop in anytime between 1:00–5:00 PM — stay for a bit or settle in for the whole session
- Clarify your goals: write down your measurable tasks for the day on a Post-it when you arrive
- Two spaces: one for quiet focus, one for casual conversation. After each focus session, if you’re still in the flow, feel free to remain seated — no need to move. If you're up for a chat, join others in the social area for a relaxed break.
- Social start: from 1:00 to 1:28 PM, we mingle and get to know each other; our first focus session begins at 1:30 PM
- Gentle structure: we begin with a soft check-in and intention round
- Pomodoro-style rhythm: We work in 45-minute focus blocks followed by 15-minute social breaks. If 45 minutes feels too long, feel free to break it into two 20-minute focus sessions with a short 5-minute reset in between. You’ll need to self-regulate these shorter cycles, just tune into your own flow and rejoin when ready.
- Quiet companionship: no pressure to talk during focus time — just shared presence and support
- Welcoming space: we meet in the creative, cozy lobby of the Jaz in the City
💡 New to Pomodoro? Don’t worry — we’ll guide you gently. No apps or timers needed.
