Coffee Shop Productivity

If you're anything like me, you need your alone time. But sometimes that alone time just consists of scrolling through Instagram or watching an endless amount of YouTube videos. And other times, it consists of shopping and leaves you spending an absurd amount of money.

One of my favorite ways to find some alone time without sitting around scrolling through social media or spending a ton of money shopping is by going to a coffee shop. Now, I still end up spending money when I do this, but it's never a crazy amount. Usually under $8.

Being a student, I always have work to do. It's never-ending. So one of my favorite things to do is hit up a Starbucks with my laptop and notebook. I plug in my headphones so I don't get distracted eavesdropping on juicy conversations. To me, it's more relaxing to study at a coffee shop or cafe, because in a way I feel like I'm treating myself too. A day out of the house, some coffee, and a reason to force myself to get out of my pajamas.

Don't get me wrong, at some points I do end up scrolling through social media, but it never lasts long. I remind myself that I came here for a reason and it forces me to get back to work. If I were sitting at home doing work I could easily put my work away and sit in bed. But, when I'm out I don't wanna pack up and drive back home. I don't even know if that made sense. The point is, public places make me more motivated.

Moreover, the aesthetic of a coffee shop gives me inspiration. Either for a new blog post, life goals, future plans, etc.
