I like this idea. There should be some sort of "base" that you go to, though, it shouldn't be a requirement that you be there all the time. I feel like humans respond better to changing environments and being able to jump between the home, office, or wherever influences a much better mood and willingness to be productive.

At my apartment, I've been moving from one room to another until I get bored of working in each, then the circle repeats. Same with coffee shops. I do have a desk/office space at work, and I actually enjoy going there as well on occasion (well I have to be there a bit more often than on occasion), because it means an environment change.

Certainly. I find my concentration collapses after 6-7 hours in one place. Shifting location gives me a fresh wind.

That is, I can productively work 14+ hour days, but only if I can flip between 2-3 locations. And even when I'm working shorter hours, I really benefit from being able to get up and walk away whenever my thinking is stuck in a rut
