I usually rent a table, then i can add the comforts i need to it. :)
There are also usually couches, meeting/phone -rooms there, so equipment wise it's a step up usually. And if you are into that kind of thing there people to talk to around lunch.

The place i used go to even had a rather cheap catered lunch you could sign up for. :)

At home i enforce the list/log i talked about, and then just try to keep comfy and un-distracted. But truth be told, i have horrible work ethics at home. hence why i try not to work from home.

Even just going to a cafe and chilling for a few hours will usually boost my output comparatively speaking.

I suppose you rent a private office? Because in an open space mode it would be difficult to do those things.

Not really, everyone there payed for a spot and we had a chipped lock that the logged access + some rudimentary video surveillance.

I would not keep a computer there, but i left screens, keyboards and other external hardware all the time. Also had a whiteboard i would log around.

Ah ok. That makes sense then.
