Yes and no. For me it's more the ritual of wearing the appropriate costume: it provides time to enter the role, just like acting. Going to job-job? Put on job

Yes and no.

Going to job-job? Put on job-job costume, mentally rehearse that character. Going to makerspace? Put on work clothes. Going to a Spartan Race? Put on the "ERMAGERD I ATHLETIC" gear.
For me it's less about the actual clothes and more about the mental reset. That said, peoples' reaction to appearance does subtly influence mood, attitude, etc.
- maringerov 9y agoI totally agree, Dave! Do you even sometimes hear music in your head when you are going down the road to an activity/event? I do sometimes :)
- davelnewton 9y agoI hear music all the time :/
- enkiv2 9y agoAn experiment worth trying: Obtain a lab coat and a bathrobe, and work on the same codebase in both outfits. See how/if code quality changes between the two.
- maringerov 9y agoGonna try that tonight (bathrobe edition :)
