Talked to a coffee shop owner in Lisbon last week

He told me I was burning out by working 10 hours a day in different cafes. Said real digital nomads build a routine, not just chase wifi. Is that actually sustainable or just boring?

Heard a similar thing from a mate who tried the cafe hopping lifestyle in Bali. He was crashing at a different spot every day, getting like three hours of solid work done between moving around and finding outlets. After two months he crashed hard, slept for like 16 hours straight and realized he was just running on adrenaline and cheap coffee. Now he's got a co-working space membership and a set schedule and says he actually gets more done in less time.

Did your mate also figure out that "digital nomad" is just a fancy way of saying "I work from a Starbucks with spotty WiFi"?
