COFFITIVITY: EVERYONE’S (CREATIVE) CUP OF COFFEE
Things can get a little noisy here at Grazia H.Q. and we gals sometimes just needs a good ol’ time-out to refocus and gather our thoughts so that we get those creative juices flowing again. Naturally we like to sit with a steaming cuppa coffee to let our ideas perculate, but recently we stumbled across something so phenomenal that we could not help but share with you.
Our recent phenomenal find? Coffitivity! Coffitivity is a website that brings the vibe and ambient sounds of a coffee shop right to your desktop to boost creativity and help you work better.
The research on their website states thatm “According to a peer-reviewed study out of the University of Chicago, “A moderate level of ambient noise is conducive to creative cognition.” In a nutshell, this means being a tiny bit distracted helps you be more creative.
This is why those AHA moments happen when we’re brushing our teeth, taking a shower, or mowing the lawn! If we’re not focused too much at a task at hand, we come up with awesome stuff. In the coffee shop, the chatter and clatter actually distracts us a tiny bit and allows our creative juices to start flowing. It sounds crazy, but it works!
And work, it does! Personally, we love the ‘morning murmer’ sound track in particular.
Don’t believe us? Head on over to their website here and see for yourself!
Always on the move? You can download the app on your phone and listen to the soothing sounds wherever you go!
