Caveday

I must admit, upon first hearing about Caveday, I was skeptical. The idea behind the organization is to provide a workspace (locally in NYC & SF or can be joined remotely) in which every attendee turns off their phones, disables their Slacks, notifications and just allows themselves to go into a cave of concentration. Sure, we all want time to be able to concentrate on a project but do you really need a whole organization that holds your hand to get it done?

Yes, yes you do. Much like any good intention, without a little bit of support behind you it's difficult to break out of routines. I haven't actually participated in a Caveday yet but I'm on board with the concept.*

* I do wish it was a bit cheaper but maybe that will change over time.
