I found this pretty neat infographic the other day. The infographic shows the ideal way to work at coffee shops. Working at coffee shops is becoming more of a common things nowadays with soloprenuers and people working remotely for their employers. Working at a coffee shop provides ambient noise and human interaction that makes it ideal for optimal productivity. However, coffee shops also have a lot of distractions. So how do you set yourself up at a coffee shop so that you are productive and not interrupted? Here are some ways:
Among some of the more useful tips are:
- Buy one drink because over caffeination is a real problem
- Sit next to a corner so you are not too distracted
- Sit next to a reliable-looking stranger so they are able to watch over your stuff when you are in the bathroom
- Wear layered clothes so you can adjust to the varying temperatures
- Bring your own water along if you can
- Sit next to a power outlet
- Sit next to good lighting as artificial blue light has been known to boost attention and alertness
