The cafe down the street feels like an office now and it got me thinking
I've been going to this cafe for my morning coffee for years. Now, it's full of people with laptops and notebooks, all working solo but together. They put in more outlets and even have a quiet corner for calls. I used to work from my apartment, feeling isolated, but I joined them last week. It struck me that this is how freelancers are fighting the loneliness that comes with the job. We're not just finding clients, we're finding places to keep our heads in the game. That shift in my neighborhood showed me that survival means building a routine outside your home. Getting out and seeing others do the same thing really helps you keep going.

Still feels pretty lonely even with the crowd.

Sometimes get that lost feeling in huge grocery stores, @craig.ben.

Ever read about how those big store layouts are made to keep you wandering? They put the milk in the back for a reason. Makes that lost feeling seem pretty planned.
