How do you stay productive in cafes? Does it really work?

Question

J.K Rowling said in an interview, that she would sit in cafes for hours to write her book.

So, I tried this with multiple cafes as well, but it wasn't a great experience. The cafe got crowded during twilight and I couldn't focus on my work.

I came back home without completing a single task, wondering if there was a problem with me.

I'm curious to know, does this happen with you too, and how do you manage to stay productive in cafes?

Mostly extroverts can work in crowded environments as this is how they stay energized. Personally I can't do s*it when surrounded by a few people. But saw a couple of my friends who can't work without an office environment.

Life Hack -> Wear headphones. People very rarely give you any shit when you're wearing headphones.

The same reason that some people are more productive at their desks, in a library, or at school. Everyone has a different space in their lives that their brains associate productivity with. A coffee shop is generally a moderately quiet place where a person can have some alone time (even if they're surrounded by people, they are generally strangers and are therefore less distracting than friends or acquaintances.)

Listen to white noise, it helps to dim outside noise for me.

Answer

if someone's sitting in a coffee shop, there's a good chance they're drinking coffee which has caffeine which can stimulate your brain and get those juices flowing!
