Cafes and Productivity

Hala Cafe in Brooklyn, NY

Before, I didn’t go to cafes often. I didn’t like the idea of spending $5+ on a drink I can make at home for a fraction of the cost. This is a remnant of my immigrant mentality to save every penny.

But now I’m undergoing a mental reshift. I still don’t like spending much money on cafes but I learned that the benefit is not only a nice drink but 3-4 hours of productivity from working at the cafe. That’s worth it for me.
