Coffee, the ultimate productivity agent. Coffee is the go too for businessmen and college students alike. The world has an obsession with this brown liquefied bean. Why is it so attractive?
My favorite quote in the readings related to productivity is,
“The obvious and time-tested solution is to drink vast
quantities of coffee” (Steven Poole).
- “If you’re creating a product, work on it while drinking your morning cup of coffee.” http://www.timemanagementchef.com/productivity-tips/
- “At the end of the day create a task list for the following morning so you can get to it and tackle it as soon as the coffee kicks in.” http://www.inc.com/oscar-raymundo/how-to-maximize-the-two-most-productive-hours-of-the-day.html
- “Along with a few trips to the coffee maker to keep you alert and productive.” http://www.businessnewsdaily.com/8331-most-productive-work-time.html
- Even John Mayer says, “I like to go to a coffee shop first thing and try to do high-value tasks such as planning and reading before I jump into the emails and meetings.” http://www.lifehack.org/articles/productivity/ask-the-entrepreneurs-the-most-productive-hours-the-day.html
Coffee:
- It helps you stay more alert
- It gets the creative juices flowing
- It helps you learn new things faster
It’s the American Dream beverage. Work, work work, do
whatever it takes to succeed. Multitasking is essential in this world. No time for breaks. America
treats coffee as a pick me up. Quality is less important. Our speed reading becomes fantastic. We write
papers faster. It is instant gratification to the means of productivity in one
cup. Our brains have to sort so much information, why not drink coffee to help
keep some sanity?
Unfortunately, as most coffeeholics know, the caffeine wears
out. Soon we are left cold and slightly depressed. Productivity ebbs away. We
are left with our wandering thoughts and impatience for our next cup of joe.
