On: How coffee became a modern necessity

[cflewis]

I don't drink coffee at home. I don't make it at work. I will get it sometimes at work from the barista bar.

But when I am working from home, I will _always_ go to a coffee house to work. It is difficult to state how important that the "third place" is. I focus far better there than at home. Try it out. Even if you don't drink coffee. Get a nice peppermint tea or something.

Tough advice for some people considering the current climate - but otherwise I very much agree.

Even if coffee shops aren't open, the advice still stands---you can (at least in the US) go out and work at a park or another outdoor spot without running into too many people.
