There's an interesting concept I once heard that reminds me of your post. Maybe a professor said it, can't quite remember. Basically, it's how when you're at home, you can hardly get anything done. As soon as you go to a hotel or friend's house, however, suddenly it feels like you have SO much more free time and flexibility to do other things.
When it comes to your own, familiar space, it's so easy to not only fall into a familiar routine, but also to get distracted by everything under the sun: food, TV, your pets, belongings throughout the house, YouTube... whatever there is.
I have definitely noticed that this is true. Sometimes, if I reeeeeally need to get something done, I'll head to a quiet coffee shop or just work in a new part of the house like the kitchen table or the couch. (That wasn't supposed to rhyme lol.) Or, somewhere with better light and easier access to caffeine, like you mentioned. ;) Nothing beats fresh air and sunshine outside, though!
We are definitely programmed by our environments. It puts us on autopilot for so much of our lives! I have friends that only work in Starbucks! xD
