Some of the most successful people in history：have done their best work in coffee shops.People across nations and centuries have tapped into their creativity in a café.
    There are many ways coffee shops boost our creativity.The combination of noise，casual crowds and visual variety can give us just the right amount of distraction（注意力分散）to help us be sharpest and most creative.
    Some of us stick in earbuds（耳塞）as soon as we sit down to work in a public setting.But scientists have known for years that background noise can benefit our creative thinking.A suitable level of noise in a cafeteria can actually improve your creative output.If you're slightly distracted from the task at hand by some stimuli（刺激物），it boosts your abstract thinking ability，which can lead to more creative idea generation.
    There's also the fact that in a coffee shop，we're surrounded by people who've come to do the same thing，which acts as a motivator.Simply performing a task next to a person who makes a lot of effort can motivate you to work harder.It's similar to going to the gym for a Workout.That is the social-facilitation effect：you go there，you see other people working and it puts you in a mood where you just naturally start working as well.
    Another thing that can make working at home or in the office tiring is the visual environment；often we sit in the same chair and look at the same four walls without relief.How the office is decorated has an effect on people's creative thinking process.While researchers tried to address this by adding decorative lights，they soon found that the furnishings（家具及日用設(shè)備）quickly became familiar and boring.Coffee shops，though，generally have visual stimuli.And hitting up different coffee shops keeps things even more varied.
    Researchers believe that there is no doubt about the "coffee-shop effect".Even if working from home or office remains an option for the long-term，the benefits of going to a coffee shop may be too good to pass up.And maybe the coffee is better.
