The day my 'office' went from a kitchen table to a literal park bench

For the first six months of freelancing, I worked at my kitchen table and my mood was pretty low. Then last week, my building had a power cut for eight hours. I grabbed my laptop, walked to the little park on 5th Street, and set up on a bench. The change in my focus and the work I got done that afternoon was wild, just from being outside. Has anyone else had a weird location change that actually boosted their work?

So you're saying a power cut made you a park bench productivity guru? I get needing a change of scenery, but is swapping your kitchen for a bench really that big of a deal? It sounds like you just needed to get out of your apartment, like @nelson.finley pointed out about the power cut. What happens when it rains or you need to plug in your laptop?

That was a power cut, not a weird location change.
