☕ Today’s tip: Listen to soothing white noise to pretend you’re in a café.

Ever since the pandemic closed both offices and third spaces across the world, in-person and remote employees alike have been left with only the sounds of their own home (and the taste of their own home-brewed coffee) to get them through the day. If you miss the neutral white noise of people talking and gently clanking things about as you work, stream the utterly soothing BBC podcast The Boring Talks, or play this YouTube video of a café in Japan. As for your actual coffee? Sorry, we can’t really help you there.
