This sounds like body doubling to me. A nice little strategy to add a bit of (simulated) accountability to your workflow. Because of this I was able to finish my masters thesis (more or less) on time.
So, what exactly is body doubling? In essence, it involves working on a task while someone else is present, either in person or virtually. This person isn’t there to do the work for you; rather, their presence acts as a subtle motivator to keep you on track. Think of it as similar to having a workout buddy who encourages you simply by being there, even if they’re not engaging in the same exercise.

it's both accountability and that openly procrastinating in a coffee shop is weird
Plus, new environment where I do work. I was actually happiest when I went to my office where a few co workers and I shared a desk with a bit of privacy, with a filtered coffee machine and an adequate laptop to do all my working on
I had days where I only went to work and slept and was still happy, doing work makes me happy
