The café on the corner
Why I do my best work at the same table, three mornings a week.
By Tomás Reyes
There is a café at the end of my street with a long wooden table by the window. Three mornings a week, I work there.
Why it works
At home, there is always a reason to stop. At the café, there is only the table, the coffee, and the work.
The rules
- One coffee per two hours of work
- Headphones on, phone off
- Leave before the lunch crowd
The owner knows my order now. Some days that is the only conversation I have before noon, and it is enough.
