An interesting article over at Fast Company talks about the benefits to doing work in a coffee shop, even when you have an office readily available. Some of the reasons include stimulating creativity, fewer distractions, and the ability to meet new people. The author also talks about how he doesn’t bring a power cord for his laptop as a way to give himself a backstop and a reason to focus.
Give the article a read for yourself.
I’ve always been a fan of setting up shop at cafes or coffee shops, especially when I’m in an unfamiliar town. There’s a sense of community that inherently comes with sitting down and enjoying your favorite hot beverage. Leaving my laptop charger at home is something I haven’t tried yet, but I think I’ll give it a shot next time I get the chance!
