I thought working from a beach cafe in Bali would be perfect, but the glare was unreal

I set up at a spot in Canggu last week, thinking the ocean view would be great for focus, but the sun on my screen made it impossible to see anything after 10 AM. I ended up having to pack up and find a shaded co-working space, which totally killed my planned chill vibe. Has anyone found a good, glare-proof laptop screen or is it just a lost cause in super bright places?

Julia's right, but those hoods are a total game changer.

Canggu is brutal for that, the sun hits different there. I spent three weeks trying to make it work before I gave up. Did you try one of those laptop hoods that look like a pop-up tent for your screen? They seem silly but I know a guy who swears by his. Honestly, I think the real answer is just accepting that some spots are for looking at, not for working from.
