We&#8217;d been doing this all over San Diego, but I wanted to push it somewhere new, and what better place than to trek up the coast to Venice Beach. And on Friday, July 17 we finally pulled it off. In a partnership and collaboration with Logitech and LOST iN, I took over Windward Plaza and lined the boardwalk with real desks, real monitors, real chairs and sand between everyone&#8217;s toes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>We called it &#8220;the most productive office in America&#8221; the week before we did it.\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But as the day unfolded, that felt less like a joke than I expected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal was simple: invite people to BYOD(esk) and work remotely from Venice Beach. Only this time, we took it a step further than our previous meetups. With Logitech on board to help really make this the most productive office possible, we ran four setups:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The Ergo Desk: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To fix everyone&#8217;s laptop posture for a few minutes and show them ergonomics matter even when working in a remote location.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The Charging Station:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It kept dying phones alive.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The Walking Pads: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I took two calls from the walking pads, because standing still all day sounded worse than the beach itself.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The &#8220;Get Your Promotion&#8221;: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beat 22 seconds on the Mobi Fold and Keys-to-Go 2, and you walked away with the gear.

Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;d tell anyone trying this outside their home:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find a spot with shade, or at least the option to move into it. You&#8217;ll actually stay put and get comfortable enough to work instead of packing up after twenty minutes. Oh, and bring water and snacks \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charge everything before you leave the house, and it&#8217;s worth investing in a portable battery. There&#8217;s no outlet outside, and batteries drain faster in the sun than you&#8217;d think.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Noise-canceling headphones are a nice plus outdoors, beaches and parks aren&#8217;t exactly quiet. But if you&#8217;ve got a call that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">really<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> matters, it&#8217;s probably smarter to schedule it for another day.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to everyone who pulled up a chair, played the game or wandered over to see what the fuss was. This was the third stop in this series and the biggest one yet, thanks to Logitech.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cheers to continuing on our quest to find the best places to work from anywhere.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About the author: Scott Muirhead, aka the \u201cRemote Work Guy\u201d is a content creator and remote-work advocate who turns unexpected places, ballparks, beaches and boardwalks into pop-up offices across the country, one city at a time.
