I bought an RV and did this for a while. It was fun but I wasn't any more productive. In the past I also tried moving to a remote beach resort town in Australia with a cofounder. It was fun and beautiful but again no more productive than we were back home.

Is that the point though? To be more productive? I'd be more interested to know if you were at least equally as productive and more importantly happier? I would think it's about improving your work/life balance and long term does that make you more fulfilled?
Most people seem to think it will make them more productive without the distractions so for a lot of people it is. Pretty view won't improve your work/life balance either unfortunately.

I was less productive and equally happy. All existences become the norm quickly. Even living in a tropical paradise, or surrounded by snow capped mountain wilderness.
