咖啡廳是可以更好完成工作的場所。

目錄 /專題特寫
Cafés are great places to work better.
When you have work to do, would you rather work at home, in an office, or at a café? For many, the answer would be a café. There is no doubt that the caffeine in coffee can provide some energy to help us work. But on top of that, a lot of people just seem to work more efficiently in cafés. So, it’s no surprise that cafés are often full of people working hard on their laptops.
Why are some people more productive in cafés? Some scientists suggest that background music, people chatting, or the sound of making drinks actually helps people improve their concentration. These noises provide just enough stimulation to help people focus on a task without becoming annoyed or letting their minds wander.
Another theory has to do with social psychology. Research has found that people are often more productive when they have an audience. In a setting like a café, people may be encouraged to increase their focus when they are surrounded by others who are also hard at work. Subconsciously, the brain might consider others working nearby as competition, which actually drives us to get work done faster.

咖啡廳是可以更好完成工作的場所。
當你有工作要做時，你會更想在家、辦公室、還是咖啡廳工作呢?對很多人來說，答案會是咖啡廳。咖啡內所含的咖啡因無疑可以 提供能量以幫助我們工作。但除此之外，很多人在咖啡廳內似乎工作 得更有效率。因此，咖啡廳內時常滿是用筆記型電腦認真工作的人也 就一點也不足為奇了。
為什麼有些人在咖啡廳會比較有效率呢?一些科學家指出背景音 樂、人們的聊天聲或是調製飲料的聲音實際上可以讓人更加專注。這 些雜音提供了適當的刺激幫助人們全神貫注在一件事情上，而不是使 人厭煩或是讓人分心。
另一個是跟社會心理學有關的理論。研究發現在有觀眾的情況之 下，人會變得更有效率。像在咖啡廳的場合中，當身邊的人都很投入 於工作的時候，人們會被激勵以提升專注力。潛意識裡，大腦有可能 將周遭認真工作的人當成是競爭對手，鞭策我們更快地將工作完成。
