How to go to a cafe without taking your laptop

Now you might be thinking I’m absconding with the urine (taking the piss) but I genuinely had to think about the last time I came to a cafe by myself without my laptop.

This morning, a little under the weather, raining out, I was thinking about what would be healthy for me…

And staring at my fucking laptop for an hour in preparation to stare at it for another 8 sounded like the dumbest way to start the day.

And I’m not taking a swing at hustle culture, I used to love that magazine in my teens, it’s just I am that stooge who spends 8–12 hours a day on my laptop because I’m trying to do a little hustle in the morning.

The stupider thing is I usually end up starting work early instead of working on my other thing. Anyone else do that?

So here I am at 8:14 AM having to scroll up on my phone to try and remember what the title and point of this article was…. Hang on…….

Haha. And he spent most of the time writing a stupid Medium article on his phone.

Moral of the story is to leave the country the other robot in the car too.

Bye
