Coffee can be your best productivity friend
Coffee makes the world go round, it certainly makes TRVL Media move. Here’s our 5 top reasons why you shouldn’t ever feel guilty for having that extra Flat White:
1. Coffee Increases Energy
Caffeine in coffee increases energy metabolism throughout the brain.
It also improves lung function and oxygen intake, resulting in better metabolic efficiency.
2. Coffee Increase Focus and Attention There are several studies that have explored the effects of caffeine consumption on visual attention. Most of these studies have concluded that caffeine – found in coffee – increases both selective and sustained attention (maintaining focused attention over an extended period of time). However, more isn’t better when it comes to coffee; there is a point of diminishing returns.
It only takes one cup of coffee to increase our focus and attention.
3. Coffee Rituals Increases Creativity We know that coffee improves our ability to focus, but does this interfere with our creative thinking ability? Research suggests that coffee can actually help people to be more creative.
However, the research isn’t specifically from a chemical reaction from drinking the coffee itself; it’s what coffee inspires. Coffee can be social and if you’re brewing your own, it can be a creative act in and of itself! Getting together with friends and co-workers over a cup of coffee can break through social barriers, leading to more free flowing conversations. A recent study shows that ambient noise and low-level sound prompts abstract thought processes. So be sure to take your coffee to the local shop or sip on your front porch.
4. Coffee Helps You Learn Things Faster How much more productive would you be if you could learn stuff faster? Well, there’s good news, a study from PLOS One reports that intake of 200 mg of caffeine – 2 cups of coffee worth – prompts the brain to identify words and phrases more quickly. The study also found that coffee consumption leads to improved short-term memory and an increased ability to solve reason-based problems. Whether you’re learning new technology, attempting a new hobby or simply going over paperwork, coffee can make you more productive.
