…Structure

"Working from home can be a challenge for so many reasons, not the least of which is that it requires you to create your own structures and routines. It's a cliché to say "put on pants" when giving advice to people who are just starting a work from home life, but it's a cliche for a reason: Putting on pants is kind of easy not to do when you work from home. It's also not great! (I am, for the record, wearing pants as I type this.)

It's bad enough that my office requires me to wear pants. I'm not bringing that kind of oppression into my own home!

And on video conference, nobody can see below your neck.

I said you need structure when working from home, not a dress code :)
