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.
