I find coding in a public, somewhat noisy place - like a coffee shop - pretty effective if you have a mundane but necessary task to do. The combination of ambient sounds to keep my brain busy while going through the boring parts, coupled with implicit social pressure of sticking to them ("Someone might have a glance at my screen, they better not see me browsing Facebook") makes it much easier to accomplish the task, compared to cozy, distraction-free environment of typical (esp. home) workstation.
