Re: There's very little that working in the office improves
"When I worked in an office, I had to both make the effort to get to work, but also to dress for work - I found initially my suit (as opposed to jeans and t-shirt) was akin to putting on my armour and helped with the mindset,"
Getting up and getting dressed for work is one of the things the books recommend doing. You also should have a dedicated workspace. If you show up for "work" in your Pj's and a well worn jumper in need of a brush and shave, your mind might be in home mode. It can also be a good idea to have a separate computer that doesn't have your personal email accounts and other distractions on it. I've seen screen share sessions where embarrassing popups have appeared. You also don't want audible notifications going off constantly that have nothing to do with work. I turn all of those off anyway.
