Now, I know what you are thinking. Caffeine.
But caffeine is not my productivity trick. I have some caffeine every day, whether I leave the house or not.
But I leave the house, planner in hand, and magic happens.
The thing about a coffee shop (or a library, if you want to go for free) is that I have to focus on work. There's nothing else to do.
Add my planner, complete with a list of things to accomplish, and I am on fire.
Next time you are stuck in a rut - piles of filing to do, a big report to research and write, or stacks of e-mail to process - pack up a bag and head out of the office or house to a coffee shop. You'll trick yourself into being productive.

Oh the power of coffee!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy working at coffee shops. The smell, the atmosphere, and of course, the boost from my coffee purchase. It's really productive.
