    Weird psychological thing. As a writer, I can set my own schedule & rules but if I get showered & dressed in something smartish with hair done & make-up on as soon as I get up, my working day will be much more productive than if I simply move to my workstation in my pyjamas.

        I've been doing a variation of it, which has been challenging since I get a 6:30 bus to work. Still, some great tips in there (though I can already imagine your eyes rolling at certain passages)

        Affirmations and visualisations? *breaks eyes*

        Why would affirmations or visualizations cause skepticism? Both are studied techniques of behavior change.

        No scepticism. Much cringing with embarrassment.

        As someone who works from home I agree with this theory in full. Some days the pajamas are rather nice though. 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️😂

        My uncle who left his job to start his own business working from home found exactly the same thing. Well, not the hair and make-up part but you get the drift.

        There is a PhD in this for some post grad behavioral psychologist, cause it is so true! (well, except for the make-up, I never tried that, it seems wrong somehow.)

        The very reason I walk 25 minutes to the university library to work instead of a 10 second stagger to the computer at home. I'm dressed, washed, out of the house and in the right mindset to work.

        Everyone says this, and I can see how it works that way for them. For me, though, I gotta be as relaxed as I can be when I write or else I get serious writer's block. Don't know why. But that's why I prefer pajamas and slippers to work clothes and shoes.

        I did similar when working from home for five years: If I was in my pyjamas (ie nude), I wasn’t working.

        Another reason it is so effective: If I have to take a break to run an emergency errand, I can just pop on my shoes, grab my wallet, run the errand and get back to work. I don't need to take another hour to bathe and dress, a disruption that can really skew the day.
