We are all different, and that's OK. Listening stuff while driving is impossible for me, but I can tune out pretty well while reading something.

I finished my Ph.D. in a Starbucks and thanked them to have me till closing for quite some time in my manuscript, too!

Interesting! I guess it depends on the kind of driving. Once you hit the Autobahn it's pretty easy on the brain. Riding a motorcycle in a big city is a different experience.

I love working from cafés. That mention in your manuscript is a lovely touch.

Me too. The different atmosphere acts like a catalyst if I like the place and work comfortable.

Thanks.

I drive a car, but city traffic is much more demanding than the Autobahn. Even then, I lately prefer to listen to the machine, and let my brain to do its background processing.

I somehow learnt to sit comfortable by myself and let what lies beneath to surface. It serves me much better than constantly consuming something.
