Mikael Cho explores which drink is ideal for creativity:
I didn’t know what I was going to write about today.
When this happens, normally I grab a coffee to help get the ideas flowing, but for the last few days in Montreal, no one’s been allowed to drink the water due to a bacteria leakage, which also means, no coffee.
So instead, I grabbed the next best thing to help me get going - a beer.
This got me wondering about coffee and beer and which one would actually help me be more creative and get work done. Hopefully, this will help you decide when it’s best to have that triple shot espresso or ice cold brew.
I need coffee in the morning. This goes well with Cho’s findings - coffee is best suited for repetitive tasks that require little creative thinking. I prefer to spend the morning completing these type of tasks. Conversely, my most productive and creative period of the day is late evening - perfect for a beer.
