I just signed up, but was a bit frustrated by the hijacked experience for sign-up as it broke my LastPass plugin to generate and save my password. Just wanted to point this out.
I bought 40 Mason bee larva from https://masonbeesforsale.com around March and around May I found some reeds in my bee house filled with mud (meaning they had created their nest). It was a fun experiment and at no time did I feel like bees were swarming. If anything, they actually left my yard an pollinated my neighbors plants.
To see it, choose your flight then in the date pop-up choose Whole Month -> Cheapest Month.
I believe they also have the inverse where you can choose a month and a departure city and they'll give you destinations by price. I couldn't find it quickly though but I think they have it.

I'm not sure if the design is an all or nothing approach - meaning PH, Stripe, and GA are required, but if there is the ability to position the metric views on boards, having an example for users to look at or even themes based on type of products would be interesting.

My Promises as a Founder
I found that I was replacing the normal interruptions of the office - meetings, email, phone calls, lunch; with getting distracted on social media, general reading, checking alerts, etc. It was like my brain was conditioned to expect a distraction and thus made me seek it out.
It took some effort, but making sure I am organized for the week has really helped as I know what I need to get done. Also, I've now been able to use my "distracted level" as a litmus test of how organized I am. I know when I'm not focused as much as I should, I need to spend some time on my planning.

[Later.js] Call for Maintainers
I wouldn't say I got "tired of it", but when the time came to come home and I thought about it, I realized how exhausted I was. Even though we felt like we took it easy, it was physically & mentally draining. I think the excitement masked it, potentially artificially, where I just didn't know I was so exhausted, but was. I've tried to think of things which might have been impacted by that.
Routine (as others have stated) in very important to define. If you are traveling with others, it needs to be expressed as soon as possible and if at all possible, define the items which might allow you the chance to break it. When traveling, so so so many opportunities will come up that will test your resolve to sticking to the routine.
Try staying places for longer stints. We averaged about 3 weeks at each place we stayed. This allowed us to stretch out the activities over time and not feel guilty about sticking to the routine or letting the kids just chill. It doesn't have to be 'go go go' all the time.
If you know where you are going to stay, spend some time figuring out where you are going to work before you get there. For me, it was hard to work at our flat/apt/house because the kids knew I was there and wanted to hang out with me because it was great having me around - compared to before we left having the normal 9-6 work schedule. It isn't always easy finding a place that has good internet, seating, and won't kick you out for hanging out all day on a couple cups of coffee. Coworking places are in most major cities, but hours can be limiting and they aren't always around the corner.
