I get what you're saying and acknowledge that that's the best environment for some people, but for me there's a different feel in being in your office and being on the back porch or out in the garage with the door open.

The fresh air, mild distractions on an easy day, and more natural light make me feel good. I think the beach would be a fucking nightmare for me. Same for things like a coffee shop. But if I'm in at least a semi private space and it's not a balls to the wall day, I'll take not being chained to the desk every time it's practical.
