Deadline struggles? This Tokyo cafe will lock you inside 'til you're done

Here are Tokyo’s Manuscript Writing Cafe rules:

1. Upon entering the store, write down at the reception desk how many words and by what time you are going to write your manuscript.

2. The manager asks you every hour how your manuscript is coming along.

3. You are not allowed to leave the store until you have finished writing your manuscript or writing project.

Got to love the creativity if nothing else. I tend to work well under pressure with writing. I'd give it a shot.

Would you try it?

I'll go there with my next IH idea and live there for a year.

This seems like a hilarious idea, I'd like to hear more from the people that regularly use this space to finish their work. It feels like it might help with self-motivation, but overall, it is just a place to get nagged by the manager constantly asking "are you done yet". On top of that, you're paying to be locked in the cafe.

Only in Japan.

I would try it. I'm typically pretty good at hitting my own deadlines, but this might give me some extra motivation.
