When I'm done with work, I don't go home. I try to immediately go to a coffee shop instead. Not for the coffee, but to do homework and other things that I want to get done, like blogposts/reading.

I find that making my home my "shut-down" zone makes it a lot easier to get work done elsewhere. I like separating my relaxation space from my work place, it's made me get much more work done.

While you're at a coffeehouse, do you listen to music (or use earplugs to drown out the surrounding noise)? I've found that I need relative silence to get any serious work on a project done.

Nah, I'm a white noise type person! I have lyric-less jazz play a little louder than the bustling of the shop.
