My first wife's father was a sales rep for a mining and logging equipment manufacturer in Germany. They had a very nice home in the suburbs of Washington DC.
When he wasn't traveling, every day he would get up, shower/shave, put on a suit and drive to the business part of northern Virginia and eat breakfast in a nice hotel while he read the Wall St Journal. He would then drive back home, 5 minutes, park his car in the circular driveway, enter a home office from the side door and start his work day.
I was a high school student dating his daughter. When I asked him about his weird habits he gave me advise I've never forgotten. "If you wake up late, grab a cup of coffee, start making calls in your underwear from the kitchen counter you will think like, sound like and come across like ? a man sitting in his kitchen drinking coffee in his underwear.
You guys working from home should thing about Mr. Ford's advise.
