IIRC there are some actual studies that say changing your physical location will actually affect your performance. In my previous $dayjob I was That Guy who was getting pinged on chats and emails and people dropped in for "just a quick question". When I had to get work done on a deadline, I went to a cafe down the street, turned off the chats, got a massive bucket of coffee, put on my noise cancelling headphones and just ... worked. Later when the office got bigger (multiple stories in the same building), I "hid" on a couch at a complete different department for the same purpose. That was almost 10 years ago and still my brain connects couches and cafes as deep work places :D | ||

It was mostly to fit my travel habits, but you might be right. Nowadays I work at a cafe with friends every Monday. It's a nice break from WFH. | ||
