Someone at work asked me why I bother dressing properly when I work from home half the time. Truth is, how you present yourself matters. It's not about impressing others, it's about respecting yourself and the people around you. My grandfather wore a watch and ironed his shirt every single day of his life. Small traditions keep us grounded.
Exactly this. I work from home most days but I still get dressed properly every morning. Sets the tone for the whole day and honestly makes me feel more like myself.
Taking care with how you look isn't about impressing anyone else, it's about respecting yourself. That's something I want my son to understand as he gets older.
A hundred percent. It's not about impressing anyone, it's about having standards for yourself. I work from home most of the time too and I still get dressed every day. Sets the tone for the whole day.
Respect. There's something about taking care of yourself that just makes you feel better even if nobody else notices. Plus your kids see that and it matters. I try to do the same.

Preach. The watch thing especially. It's functional, it's classic, and it doesn't scream 'I gave up.' Your kids are watching how you carry yourself.
