在家工作已經成為辦公常態，不過亦有人認為在家工作會增加惰性。最近，日本就出現了「趕稿咖啡店」，適合那些需要趕死線的人去工作，十分有趣。 東京有一間名為「原稿執筆カフェ」的咖啡店開張，它標榜訪客可以在店內專心工作，完成面臨 Deadline 的各種工作，包括寫作和畫漫畫等等都無任歡迎。這間咖啡店除了提供辦公所需空間和設備外，店長還會每隔一段時間詢問進度，確保客人可以順利完成作業，未完成的話不可以離開咖啡店。此外，店內也禁止聊天。 店長的「溫馨提示」可以有三種風格選擇，分別為溫和、嚴厲和使用方言，適合不同的客人選擇。 據報導，由於店內都是趕稿的人，加上店長的提醒服務，令工作效率相當高。第一天開張營業時，所有客人離開時都已經完成當日工作目標。
