Writing rant: To each their own, but I genuinely don't understand how people can write in coffee shops.

Or maybe it just comes down to the terror of being alone with our own thoughts... END RANT <3

Last add: This wasn't something natural to me. It was advised to me by someone else. I had to work at it over time, but now I couldn't imagine anything else. (it's also cheaper).

I used to find it horrible, and I've come around. Everything AROUND you is distracting, but it's a different kind of distraction. Being at home means I have habits, chores, worries, and all of them come a'knockin'.

A lot of it is limiting yourself, physically, to what you can do. Or time, perhaps, or outright discomfort. When I'm bathed and clothed and perhaps makeupped in a hotel lobby, I feel different than when I am at my home computer with all the comforts.

Conversely - people could work on the discipline of being unaffected by their surroundings? Not saying that to be combative. I just find that I go into the zone anywhere. Just lose track of everything around me. Doesn't matter what.

I blame six years of desperate journalism (writing 8000-12000 words a week and earning nothing). Had to write anywhere/anytime. Had to sleep anywhere/anytime.

I can’t work in dead quiet - background noise cuts through the tinnitus, which is otherwise distracting. :/

It depends. People with certain types of ADD can focus *better* if there’s a low level of ‘background’ activity. Maybe it keeps any individual stimulus from rising to the level of a distraction. Maybe it’s related to the reason Rx stimulants help. But I’ve seen it work.

This isn’t relevant for everyone, of course.

for me, the coffee shop is way more quiet than my house...a lot of the time, physically leaving the distractions of the home, people who want my attention, coffee shops and libraries are the only way to go.
