So two weeks into the year, and only 1 week of seriously working, and I’ve already visited 4 different coffee shops! Good job I’m a massive lover of coffee. I’ve also realised that a lot of people that work for themselves tend to carry out their working day in a coffee shop. Well why not use someone else’s heating, broadband, electricity etc, all the while drinking coffee to a level that most of us will not achieve at home. Although I did overdose one day last week and ended up with such a bad headache after coffee provided my only nutrients of the day. So as you do, I googled health benefits/risks of drinking too much coffee….well if this is going to be what my future days hold I’d just as well be prepared right?
So it looks like to decrease the risk of depression coffee is good for me. That’s a bonus.
As a recommendation, although please don’t all flock there at once, save a table for me occasionally, is the Hutong Cafe
If you’ve not been it’s just outside the Royal William Yard, good coffee at a reasonable price too. I could have definitely sat in there all day.
Personally I’m perfectly fine only having myself for company all day working at home, but I can definitely see the attraction of feeling like you are in the buzz of a working environment. A change of scenery is probably a good idea when you are being ‘creative’. Productivity for me however, is better with nothing but the radio for company, but that’s for now, maybe in a few months my opinion might change.
One thing I have done though is invested in the latest ipad pro, all 12.9 inches of it (countdown to February now when it arrives). I work on a mac, but being a ‘creative’ means that a mac book wasn’t really right for me when I started Nutty Giraffe, and if I’m going to get down with the rest of the at home workers occasionally I needed something to work on…didn’t I? Now just to order the accessories, don’t tell the other half!
Happy hump day everyone, get the kettle on or get down to the coffee shop, mines a large latte.
