Clever Idea.

Coffee, with a Side of Deadline Hectoring
The Manuscript Writing Café, in Tokyo, admits only workers facing a deadline, who can order occasional polite check-ins or an employee looming silently over them. “At the Manuscript Writing Café, people who aren’t facing a deadline cannot enter! I ask for your understanding and coöperation in order to maintain the tension in the café.” The cost starts at two hundred and forty yen (about a dollar and eighty-two cents) for thirty minutes. Patrons can choose from several timed “courses.”

I could do with somewhere strict like that!

Strict - but maybe nice about supplying you with coffee and encouragement?
