What’s the secret to a productive day? Just get dressed! Feel and be your best. Don’t do it for anyone else. Do it for yourself.

I say whatever works for you. I kind of feel the same way though – I dress only to impress myself and what I’m comfortable wearing. For me it’s eyeliner, earrings, usually just a simple t-shirt and short shorts. Do I care that the powers that be say guys shouldn’t wear makeup, earrings or skimpy shorts? Not at all. I don’t give a crap about anyone else’s opinion. It’s in the eye of the beholder. I’ve adopted the look I like for myself and I’ve learned to own my look and be confident in it.
I work from home most days but I still get up, shower, get dressed and put on a make up. Days that I stay in pj’s and don’t get dressed I accomplish far less – my brain is trained that way. Pj’s mean Netflix and the couch, masacara means it’s time to get crap done. 🙂
My special thing is nailpolish right now, although it changes. Being able to shuffle around in pjs makes me super happy too. Coffee makes me happy/productive if I have stuff to do. When I go out, I’ve been making extra effort… because I was homebound for a while with my broken ankle.
Sometimes, people think I’m crazy. I’ll put on something really nice to sit around and write to pen pals. I figure I bought the nice clothes, I might as well enjoy them😊
I find that if I make my bed in the morning right away and then go to my writing desk first thing in the morning I feel more productive than days when I sleep in. (But…less well rested).
God, you are so right aren’t you? I’m tweeting this.
Wow! Thank you!
This is like the hardest thing for me at times. I usually go through my whole morning routine before I get to this point, and by that time I can get distracted into one of my special interests. But then again, I stay at home most days so it’s easy to just sit around in clothes from the day before. -Violet-
I’ve done it many times myself. But when I remember my day will be better if I get it all done, sometimes I am motivated to do what I need to do.
I’m still trying to figure out what I need to do to have a productive day. My day always begins with getting dressed, but the problem is sometimes getting out of bed. My productivity fluctuates quite a bit from day to day and goes down quite a bit if I have to do something that scares me or I don’t like doing that day.
I feel you! Just if I force myself up then force myself dressed – the day is always better than if I don’t.
