Mark Horne, freelance writer and friend asks an important question… could people who work at home do better if they dressed better, even if nobody else were around?
Now I am a freelance commercial writer. I can dress down as much as I want on most days. Yet I increasingly find I hate being too casual. I prefer to avoid blue jeans for other more professional looking pants, and try to make sure my shirt at least has a collar.Why the change? As far as I can tell, I get a lot more work done if I dress like I’m working. For one thing, it provides a definitive start to my day. I walk out of the bedroom with a strong sense that I am now on the clock.
So how do you dress when you’re “working” at home? Like you’re running a real business or just playing around?
