Here are 5 reasons why you need to dress up while working from home.

Dressing up for work helps us to differentiate between work and life. Working in your pajamas may seem like fun for a couple of days, but soon your productivity will decline your body appreciate the convenience of your bed wear, and consciously or unconsciously, your minds react to this comfortability by shutting down the practical parts of your brains. Dressing up for work can condition your brain to understand when work ends and when home life begins.

Our clothes work as a visual reminder to ourselves of our intentions to achieve things.
