@ Walter – Something about being dressed for work just puts me in the right mind frame that’s needed to work.

@ Archan – I agree. One hat does not fit all. But a well established routine does benefit most. If you’re trying to improve your productivity, look into how you start your day.

@ Luc – Do let us know if you notice an increase in productivity Comfortable jeans and shirt are a great alternative too!

Interesting thought. When working from home, I don’t work in pajamas but I don’t dress up either. Most of the time, I wear my oldest jeans and a sweatshirt.
Often I’m productive, sometimes I’m not. I think I’m going to give your suggestion a try.

Samar:

Thanks for this timely reminder: it is a great post.

With due respect, I would tend to disagree: there are no such hard and fast rules. The important thing is to find out what works for you: it is an individual choice. And every individual is unique.

However, I like rituals, personally. I cannot work in my pajamas or even casuals. I need the daily routine which you have mentioned: discipline is key.

Otherwise, you tend to get too comfortable, your eyes get drowsy, and then you go back to sleep.

Going for a morning walk, taking a shower, breakfast, wearing decent clothes, etc. helps to improve my productivity, that’s for sure, but I am not sure about recommending that to all people.

After all, one size does not fit all. We have all kinds and types of people who inhabit our world.

I can’t imagine the idea of not dressing up and not preparing for a good day. Being in my pajamas feel like I’m sloppy, but being out of it propped to be productive.
