For your focus

Coffitivity

For some people, the first step to thinking up their next grand idea is removing distractions and just focusing. Coffitivity is a website and app that simulates a coffeehouse ambiance to enhance your creativity. It is based on scientific research that claims that the perfect conditions for creative work are a combination of calm and commotion. When you click play, a busy mix of people chatting, glasses clinking and dishes being cleared transports you to an ambient cafe – even if you’re at home or in your office.

For your writing

750 Words

750 Words is a private outlet for you to improve your writing by writing 750 words every day.

Unlike blogging or status updating, 750 Words is completely private; it’s between you and you. You will also learn about yourself and your writing habits in the process through the reports the site generates for you. For example, you’ll learn how fast you write and how often you get distracted, as well as the feelings, themes, and mindset of your words.
