What has kept me able to focus on the work week is maintaining the routine of dressing appropriately for public view, each day, though minus the makeup that I only ever applied scantily. Leaving work means changing to relaxed clthes. Big help keeping work separate from home life when there is no commute.
Since 99.99% of my work is now from home, I tend to wear “work-ish attire” on days when I know that I have a Zoom meeting or two, and more comfy clothing on the other days. There have been a couple of days when I’ve gotten a Teams call that was unscheduled and been “caught” in the comfy clothes, but so far no one’s said anything and on most of those occasions, my co-workers and boss have been in sweats as well. I can’t remember the last time I wore a tie or a suit, which used to be the norm. And I almost NEVER wear a bra anymore!
