    Great writeup. I’ve also just realized how powerful it is to gussy yourself up and dress appropriately even if you’re working in your home. I don’t know about others but I get into the hard worker mindset and feel more confident when I’m not wearing sweatpants and a Dimmu Borgir t-shirt while creating something. If you want to take your work seriously you have to take yourself seriously also.
