I am quite used to seeing strange suggestions for improving personal productivity - often tied to an app someone is trying to sell me. But the one I saw the other day 'takes the biscuit'.
It is based on the fact that some people think they are more productive working from a coffee shop rather than working from home (fewer - or at least different - distractions).
(Of course whether they really are more productive is probably debatable to say the least.)
A new app - Coffitivity - plays you the ambient sounds of a coffee shop for those occasions when you can't actually get there. It comes with a range of coffee shop sounds and claims to boost your creativity.
So, take care when reading promotional material. You may get suckered in to something like this - on the fact of it, plausible... but do we really believe it?
