Working in a cafe for higher productivity than a company office

A Japanese expert found that working in a cafe offers a higher productivity than grinding pants at the company.

Japan is famous for being a disciplined nation. However, it is Japanese who is the author of a study that makes businesses not very happy. The reason is because the research has shown that: working in a cafe is more productive than the company's office.

Work in coffee shops more effectively.

Specifically, Dr. Takashiro Tamesue from Yamaguchi University (Japan) said that the chaotic sounds in cafes did not distract by the sound of . slashing between colleagues.

He performed an experiment, which required candidates to count the number of occurrences of objects on a computer screen. Behind him, he will turn on dialog, music or innocuous sounds.

The results showed that music and conversation caused a great distraction, causing a serious decrease in the effectiveness of the experiment. Meanwhile, miscellaneous sounds tend to help us focus more.

Talking from colleagues will distract you.

"Experiments show that if there are sounds around the work environment, the influencing factor is not only the magnitude, but also whether the sounds are meaningful or not, " Dr Tamesue said. .

This result is similar to another study from the University of Sussex, about the habit of listening to cars on cars. Accordingly, listening to a phone with a headset is also likely to cause an accident similar to a cell phone, because the distraction is the content of the conversation.

"For example, the person at the other end of the line mentioned something, causing the driver to rummage through the memory. And then accidentally, he imagined the face of the person talking" - quoted the doctor. Graham Hole, research director of Sussex University.

The innocuous sound around the cafe can promote the highest concentration.

"Clearly, the conversations are more influential than we thought."

Meanwhile, many other studies have also demonstrated that innocuous sound around - including coffee shops - can help promote the highest concentration.
