If you can turn your phone into a hotspot, head down to Jordan Lake and work from an air-conditioned car. Most of my suggestions involve the air-conditioned car, so I hope it's comfortable.

Personally, I really dislike it when people do work calls and conferences in a public place like a coffee shop. Nobody wants to hear your side of the conversation. People doing this often speak louder than they think they are, too. Plus they're just taking up valuable seats while sipping on a $4 coffee for hours. I find it rude and annoying. But that's just my 2 cents.

If you occupy free space inside a business you are denying them use of a circe of space that is 12 feet in diameter. Unless you have discussed that with them you are straining their resources further at this time.

I used to go to the Chapel Hill library sometimes and was told that sometimes people still go to their patio.

This issue came up recently when my internet went out on a workday, and I realized all of my usual backup spots were closed.

With indoor seating capacity cut by 50-75% in many cases, now is not the time to linger and take up a table for a long time. Not to mention the

For an occasional change of scenery, I bought a lap desk that's wide enough to sit atop chair handrests. Comes in handy for an armchair, or a deck chair.
