What is it? According to their site, research shows that it’s hard to be creative in a totally quiet space. And, a very loud environment is also not beneficial.
But, a background like a coffee shop where there’s an background that’s a mix of “calm and commotion” is the perfect environment to think clearly and get stuff done.
Coffitivity is simply the background noise that you can play in your headset when the environment around you is less than ideal for working in.
