Surf's up. Time to hit the beach. I'll work on my tech stuff after lunch. Now I am too tired. Take a nap. Back to the bar on the beach to eat, drink, watch the tourists in tiny swim suits. What glorious weather!

Spot on. I visited Hawaii for a couple of weeks and it completely destroyed my motivation. Didn't even know that was possible. I was so relaxed, just enjoying life. I remember being stuck behind a slow driver on the freeway, not caring at all, when I was struck by the thought "I must never move here. I'll never get anything done."

that's so true. I'm a very warm-weather person and so if I'm in that environment, it can be very difficult to focus because of the temptation to go to the beach, swim, exercise, play, etc.

living in the PNW feels like it's more conducive to work, but I frequently long for the beach
