When fighting a creative block, the last thing one wants is silent solitude. Normally, we bounce ideas with colleagues, plug in our headphones and blast motivational tunes, or step outside to grab fresh air and a cup of caffeine.
According to a study, that moderate background noise is actually helping our creativity, while complete silence as well as loud, distracting workplaces tend to harm it.
The solution? A coffee shop, the home (or office) of many remote employees. However, that's not always a convenient and economical option. Relying on another business to get yours done can be really counterproductive.
Fortunately, there's Coffitivy, a website that will provide the ambience of a coffeehouse for you. That's right, agoraphobes, you'll never have to leave your house again, thanks to the Internet.
