I have been working from home non-stop since the end of November of 2019. Yikes! I am coming up on 2 straight years of WFH (Work From Home)!

Wow! Where does all the time go!?!

Needless to say, there are probably thousands of blog posts across the internet on this very subject. However, I am going to share my take on this matter.

Just because these items work for me, they might not be for you and that’s okay.

We are all different.

What works for some doesn’t work for others.

1) Get. Dressed. Every. Single. Day. (this isn’t a slumber party)

This is my absolute top #1 pick to tell anyone who is thinking of working from home. I have never failed to get dressed prior to working. No working in pajamas, or lounging attire for me. I get fully dressed (including socks and tennis shoes).

Nothing gets me in the mindset like getting fully dressed. After all, this is a real job, isn’t it?

Working on real work and real projects. Making real money. Paying real bills. Providing for my real family.

Why not treat it as such?
