Interesting to read how you utilize public spaces combined with your tech knowledge of apps, but I don't have any problems with writing in public spaces like restaurants and coffee-shops -- I used to do that when I had a schedule that provided me with more time to easily be away from home -- the sounds in public spaces are like "white noise" to me. Nowadays I don't have that kind of time flexibility on a regular basis, so really what I want is something to block some of the at-home distracting noises and I think I'm going to try some of those noise-cancelling earmuffs mentioned elsewhere in this post.
