I haven't done it as often as I'd like to but the few times I have have been mixed. Once time was fantastic, got shitloads done, totally in the zone. Once I got fuck all done because too many interesting things to see and do and fucking around getting aircon working and waiting for room service and blah fucking blah...

The change of scenery really helps but you need to keep it simple.

Coffee is not your friend when you need to concentrate, it does the opposite and makes you hyper in random directions when you need laser focus

Good luck

How did you do this? What is the ideal location or circumstance for this?

It was a cheap-ass 'homestay' out of town with shitty internet but freezing aircon.

Nothing to do, except look at nice views and do some work.

I often find the real problem is I'm just unsure of certain things, so asking lots of questions - or sending the fuckers a form to fill in - can help a lot.
