How to Work From a Café Without Losing Focus

A café can be the most productive office you have, or the least. The difference is a little preparation.

Before you leave home

1. Charge everything and pack a short cable.
2. Download the files you need so you are not stuck on slow Wi-Fi.
3. Turn on your VPN or use your phone’s hotspot for anything private.

At the table

• Sit facing a wall to cut distractions.
• Work in 25-minute blocks with a short break.
• Order something every hour. It is only fair.

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
