If you’re not lucky enough to have air conditioning at home — or you want to avoid sky-high electricity bills — pack up your laptop, don’t forget your charger, and head to the local coffee shop for an iced latte and free WiFi. You can always find a quiet corner to get work done. But don't get caught up chatting with other mobile workers!

Whether you’re talking extreme heat or frigid cold temps, it’s all mind over matter for me. When it starts heating up, I picture myself on a cool island beach, enjoying a frosty beverage with my feet dipped in the ocean. You’d be amazed how easy it is to forget where you are and focus on anything from simple tasks to complex problems.
