Dressing the Part: How Important Are Business Clothes If You Work from Home?

Also, after the first three days, I realized that something strange was happening. Not only was I able to check off everything from my to-do lists, I even add new tasks and am able to complete them. In other words, the clothes seemed to be making me more productive. They gave me a physical manifestation of the separation between work and home life.

I usually find this to be the case as well, though if I wake up and happen to have a ton on my plate, getting right to it with pajamas on isn't a problem either. Keeping the home workplace clean (i.e. - not littered with clothes) is also important to creating a positive environment.
