The Noise Playlist

The Noise Playlist

The specific stimuli of a coffee shop: a combination of noise, casual conversations and visual variety provide us with a low-level distraction that is conducive to creativity.

Coffee Shops: The Visual Stimulation Around Us

As we sit in a coffee shop and open our laptops (often in our favourite chair) the visual stimulation around us, the decoration, walls, windows, makes us delve into convergent creative thinking, the one that requires us to think out of the box.

The Lure Of The Coffee Shop

Recent research on remote workers reports that about 80 percent want to continue working from home, and not in co-working spaces or cafes.

The lure of the coffee shop is not going away even after this temporary jolt, as people who are working from home can benefit from the change of scenery and the aroma of freshly-brewed coffee that is hard to find at home.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
