The case for getting dressed for work

The temptation to wear pyjamas or other super comfortable clothing that you would not wear to the office is strong while you are working from home. If this is working for you and you are able to focus while working and also have time when you can rest, then keep doing what you are doing. However, if you are struggling to focus, struggling to stop working now that you have no physical boundary between home and work, struggling to get other members of your household to recognise that you are working and cannot be interrupted for trivial things, or having difficulty sleeping, I highly recommend that you experiment with getting dressed for work.first published as text on 30 March 2020 https://jovanevery.ca/the-case-for-getting-dressed-for-work/For more advice, support and perspectives like this, sign up to my free monthly newsletter: https://jovanevery.co.uk/newsletter To find out how short chunks of time can revolutionise your writing, take the FREE 15 Minute Writing Challenge course: https://jovanevery.co.uk/15-min-writing-challenge/ Or join the Academic Writing Studio community: https://academicwritingstudio.co.uk  Support me on KoFi here: https://ko-fi.com/jovanevery  I'm no longer on Twitter, but I'm on Bluesky here: https://bsky.app/profile/jovanevery.bsky.social Find me on Linked In here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jovanevery/  Or follow along on Facebook here: https://facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoach
