Get it done (Picture: Povs Adventures / TikTok)

Maybe reading this right now is a part of your procrastination.

But at Manuscript Writing Café, in Koenji, Tokyo, you wouldn’t be allowed to get away with it.

Designed for writers and artists on a deadline, or just anyone trying to force themselves to get on with it, the café takes it’santi-procrastination stance seriously.

A TikTokker went ‘for the full experience’ and had to fill out a ‘contract’ stating what work they wanted to complete before they were ‘allowed’ to leave, and selected ‘hard’ for the level of check-ins they wanted.

Staff continually checked on him and said they’ve had people stay overnight before – which shows you how seriously they take it.

I tried an anti procrastination cafe in Japan that you have to finish your work goal to leave 📚

When he tried to leave after doing most but not all of his work, he said: ‘I got a ton of work done, but not all.

‘I tried to show him so I could leave, but when I showed him he noticed my work wasn’t fully complete so he sent me back to my workspace.’
