Show HN: Coffitivity for iOS and OS X

To me, personally, it's about the ritual. You get up, pack up your things, go to school cafeteria, buy a coffee -- same routine, every day.

Same thing when I work from home, and it works just as well. Get up, walk to the store to get some fresh food, make a coffee, get to work.

Notice how coffee is nothing but part of the ritual -- I couldn't care less about the caffeine, it's just that drinking coffee is in my mind associated with doing work. :-)

Funny thing is this. Doing this ritual at a specific time helps a lot. Working from home can be hard with all the internet distractions, but creating a habit of getting to work at 9:00AM works miracles.

It even reminds me of the idea in Le Petit Prince, where the fox tells the prince to always show up at 4, so he would start being excited at 3.

This is kinda like saying "People who go to concerts seem to like the music a lot, so let's start a service where a bunch of drunk people show up at your house when you're listening to music and stand really close to you whilst talking or screaming at the band"

Is there any science behind this? The reason I find coffee shops less distracting is because there is usually nobody there I know to distract me. At home my housemates distract me, at work my colleagues distract me, in the coffee shop there is no one...

In all honesty, find a quiet place or get some noise canceling headphones, coffee shops are incredibly distracting.
