Naked Warrior: Appearance and Professionalism

Dress for Success

Appearance and Professionalism

Don't go to work in your underwear / pajamas. This is slovenly, lazy, and unprofessional behavior. Treat your home office with the same respect you would treat a normal office. When you go to work, do so after having showered, shaved, and dressed appropriately.

Clothes define the man (or woman). The difference in your productivity from just putting on a dress shirt and slacks vs. jeans and a t-shirt will amaze you.

Always try to look your best, especially when nobody can see you.

Gravatar Image1 - I've enjoyed your Naked Warrior series. Especially since I'm spending at least part of my time working from home.

Have to tell you I don't agree with you this time. I'm getting my best work done by rolling straight out of bed and starting the coffee pot and hitting the computer. I usually don't stay in pajamas all day but I have a stayed in them until the morning burst of creativity was finished.

When I do get changed its usually Hawaiian shirt and cargo shorts.

Humor me and try the "start coffee, complete morning SSS, put on work clothes" thing for one week when working from home.

I'll bet you will discover not only is your creativity still there, but your overall PRODUCTIVITY will be greater than when doing the "roll out of bed and hit it" thing.
