One of these is not like the others. I can understand emphasis on dressing up in contexts that involve selling -- a product, an idea or even yourself. But what does it have to do with focus?
- notemaker 8y agoMayhaps not as necessary as the first two, but having separate wardrobes for work and free time can help trigger you into a work mindset. That said, it doesn't need to be a 3 part suit.

- MaulingMonkey 8y agoIt doesn't necessairly need to be "dressing up" per se. But if you're showing up to work poorly shaven, wearing stained sweatpants - you're going to be at least a little more self concious, a little less self confident. Nobody's going to lift your mood with "hey, looking sharp!". It's going to reflect in your body language, and the body language in your peers, even if it's largely on a subconcious level. It's potentially the difference between being ready to walk to lunch, or a meeting, or an interview at a moment's notice - ready to actually tackle the work and the day - vs being ready to go to bed at a moment's notice.
