Coffee, ambient music and your trusty notepad.
Working remotely or simply working outside of the office usually restricts you to your home office, and that can get boring at times. Stationing yourself at a well-equipped cafe can help you perform better, get your focus levels running and also present you with a vibrant new environment to get your work done. Here are my top picks in Malta:
1. Pure Living, Sliema
A health hub in Sliema, boasting comfy seats, energising juices and a super varied menu will keep your eyes on the prize - a fully achieved To-Do list.
2. Caffe Cordina, Valletta
A trip into the capital is never a bad idea, so why not call this Valletta stalwart your office for the day? Take a seat in Republic Square, watch the tourists walk by and order a cup of coffee to get you through your workload.
3. Dr Juice, Gzira
Dr Juice has a number of outlets spread across the island, but the Gzira juice bar is the best spot to knock some hits off your daily plan.
4. Trois, Rabat
Tea time at Trois means cake, tea and a a surge of inspiration. Grab a sofa-seat, clear your head and get your more creative work done here.
5. Corinthia Hotel and Spa, Attard
If you’re looking for peace and quiet in an upscale environment, Corinthia’s Attard hotel lobby is the perfect spot to unwind and tend to those pesky emails. Grab a cocktail at the bar when the last few bits are near done.
Just because you’ve got a load of work to do doesn’t mean you’ve got to stay at home and not see the light of day! If you find yourself longing for some water-cooler-talk, all you need do is mingle, network and socialise a little. Find a cafe that motivates you to do what you need to do, the best way you can do it - among other humans.
