I've never understood how people can concentrate and get real work done in a coffee shop. Sure, it's fun to take your laptop to a cafe and get some hacking done occasionally or catch up on mail, but as a substitute for an office or an apartment? No thanks.
- ardit33 19y agoYes you can. But for a couple of hours at a time. I usually play trance on my headphhones. If you have been working for few hours on your room, and getting a sense you are lacking human interaction, just get your laptop, go to one of these cofee places with free wi-fi, put your headphoens on, sip your good coffee, and work. It is very refreshing actually. But I could do it only for a couple of hours a day. More than that, your back probably would suffer (seats and tables in coffee places are not the most optimal, and were not ment for long stays). When I walk back, all that cafeeine and the always constant San Francisco fresh breeze, makes me want to work more. Just saying.
- aschobel 19y agoI find walks work well for me, gives me a chance to clear my head and the increased blood flow can't hurt.
- sah 19y agoHuh, it works great for me. Offices with closed doors are okay, but in a cube I get interrupted all the time such that it's difficult to prioritize more important work, and I get tired of sitting around at home all day. Even better than a traditional office is a room with a table a bunch of folks can sit around, or couches arranged in a circle, but with no people who aren't actively working together present. Cafes can provide that kind of thing pretty well.
- aschobel 19y agoAgreed, it is also more cost effective to work from home. And at home you have a fully stocked fridge, comfy chair, and nobody will kick you out when you are hacking away at 2am.
